A little while back we announced A-Trak and Armand Van Helden’s new project Duck Sauce. Here is the new video for their debut single ‘aNYway’, out on Data Records October 26th, 2009. Enjoy!

The iconic creature used in various DJ A-Trak projects, and designed by artist Dust La Rock, has been crafted into an 8 inch plastic toy. Kid Robot will be releasing a limited run of 500 “Grateful Bear” figures, which come outfitted with a gold-plated A-Trak necklace, leather cuff, cotton sweatband, snowcapped igloo, fitted cap and wayfarers.

The A-Trak x Dust La Rock x Kidrobot “Grateful Bear” will be available July 2nd at Kidrobot and other select retailers for $50USD.

Last week DJ A-Trak’s Fabric Live Mix dropped in the UK. We used the release as an excuse to catch up with him and talk music and fashion. We also learned a little about what it is like to work with Kanye and gave him a quick Canadian quiz.

The latest to work on a mix for Nike Plus is A-Trak. His "Running Man" mix is part ofthe Original Run series.  The 45 minutes of original music on Running Man serve as A-Trak’s full-length production debut, and the set features guest vocals from Kid Cudi and others. Nike will also offer up a portion of the mix entitled "Say Whoa" as A-Trak’s very first official single.
A-Trak’s statemenet about Running Man:
" I don’t really run. Yet when Nike asked me to do this track I was smitten. There was a musical challenge there, and I got excited. I’ve been producing mostly uptempo electro tracks as of late, but my background is hip-hop and I think you can hear it in my choice of sounds. I wanted this record to showcase my current style, but I also didn’t want to stray away from hip-hop completely. That’s why you find guest rap verses in the mix, plenty of chopped & screwed vocals, and a hefty dose of drums breaks that are surely more block party than Ibiza." Via Pitchfork.
