Alain Macklovitch, aka A-TRAK, bridges the gap between this and that. He is a bridger of gaps. Turntable battlefield champion, Singaporean super-club sweatmaster, Dirty South Dance Party architect, Kanye’s tour DJ, record label executive; no sweat. A-TRAK has been blowing minds and ringing heads for well over a decade, since he became the youngest and first Canadian to win the DMC World DJ Championship in 1997. In recent years his Fool’s Gold label has represented some of the best in dance, featuring releases from the likes of Kid Sister, Kavinsky, and Jokers of the Scene.Mr. A has been known throughout his career for his ability to wow crate heads and shake rumps alike, and his latest mix, Infinity +1delivers on all fronts. Plus, he might just be the only white Canadian DJ to decline a tour gig with Jay-Z. Come to think of it, he might be the only white Canadian DJ to get asked in the first place. Fool’s gold? Nah, this guy is the real thing.
