Let’s face it, inventiveness is not something we see very often now that electronic dance music has gone mainstream. Most mixes are nearly indistinguishable from one another, drawing from the same pool of popular, flavor-of-the-month tracks that we have all heard thousands of times before. A-Trak and Fool’s Gold radio are the antithesis of the plague of banality affecting mainstream EDM. For May 2012, A-Trak effortlessly mixes 23 tracks in an hour flat – many of which you’ve likely never heard – and that’s a good thing. There is a little something here for everyone – whether your poison is nu-disco, moombahton, techno or electro, this Canadian groove technician keeps things fresh and interesting.
