The Rapture “How Deep Is Your Love” (A-Trak Dub For Mehdi)
How Deep Is Your Love? (A-Trak Dub aka Dub For Mehdi) by DFA Records
I did this remix over the summer, and when I was close to finishing it I played it to my friend, the irreplaceable DJ Mehdi. We often played each other our productions for feedback. As it turns out he and Riton were visiting New York so they stopped by my apartment. I was working on the main version of the remix, the vocal version. I knew I would make a few alternate edits during the mixdown. The funny thing was, Mehdi’s favorite part was the ending! He and Riton suggested that I have that part come in earlier. My reaction was: that would work well for the dub version. And sure enough, when I finished mixing it down I made a dub with their suggestion. When I sent it to Mehdi shortly after, he responded (as a joke) that I should call it “Dub For Mehdi”. He included it in his “Tunisian Summer” mix. And then, as we all know, the unimaginable happened and we lost our dear friend. The least I can do now is name the edit after him. This one’s for you, Memed.

From the vault: Obscure Disorder freestyle from 1997
A-Trak + Obscure Disorder – “HipHopSite.Com Promo (1997)” by DJ Pizzo
Props to DJ Pizzo for unearthing this lost freestyle. I don’t think I heard this since we recorded it in 1997! I’m gonna let him tell the story:
I had the honor of spinning with A-Trak this past weekend at my regular residency, XS Las Vegas. I thought it might be a good idea to dig up this unreleased joint A-Trak did for HipHopSite.Com with his old group, Obscure Disorder, way back in 1997. We had planned to release some kind of mix tape of freestyles to help jump off HipHopSite back then, but it never ended up coming to fruition.
I got with Dave-One, whom you might know from Chromeo, who was running an indie hip-hop imprint called Audio Research. Dave produced all the beats for his group Obscure Disorder, of which A-Trak was the DJ. They whipped up this cool little promo joint for us which finds A-Trak cutting up the words “HipHopSite.Com”, and juggling copies of Dave-One’s original beat. Here it is, for the first time ever. – DJ Pizzo
“Ray Ban Vision” feat. CyHi Da Prynce

Shout out to Miss Info on the premiere. Earlier in the week we announced the upcoming Fool’s Gold Vol. 1 compilation, which will be out on the 25th digitally and the CDs will be available through Opening Ceremony.
This is my song from the comp, a new joint I made with G.O.O.D. Music’s latest recruit CyHi Da Prynce. I don’t think CyHi is up on my Sunglasses Is A Must past so I was amused when he chose this theme for the song. When you think about it… first I made “Pro Nails” for Kid Sister; then I sent Lupe a beat and he did “Me & My Sneakers” (also called “Mastered”); and now I have this song about shades. Am I like the accessories guy now? At this point I’m thinking if I send Murs a beat he’ll make a song about murses. Not a bad idea…
Download CyHi’s new mixtape Royal Flush, and stay tuned for the remix…
Download the Heaps Decent song “Anywhere But Here”
Last fall I went to Australia and visited a juvenile jail with the Heaps Decent organization to encourage the kids to make music. You can read my full blog post about it here. We actually came up with a song that day, which I produced with them, and it’s just been released.
Here’s what the Heaps Decent blog had to say:
In September last year, A-Trak came to Australia with the Parklife tour. While he was here he joined Heaps Decent in Wagga Wagga, NSW where we took him to Riverina Juvenile Justice Centre for a day of music making with the young artists inside the centre.
Nina and Levins had spent the week beforehand running workshops at the centre, writing lyrics and practising flow and mic control. When A-Trak arrived at Shepherd’s Park, the school within Riverina Juvenile Justice Centre, everyone was ready to make something awesome.
‘Anywhere But Here’ is the product of our day spent recording with A-Trak. The four boys you can hear on the track wrote their own raps, as did MC Huz, a volunteer from Riverina Community College who joined us on the day. Some of the other boys played didgeridoo and made wild noises, which A-Trak sampled and used as the base for the beat.
While we are offering this for free and encourage you to spread the word by sharing the song, we please ask that you consider making a donation to Heaps Decent so that we can continue running great workshops like this one. Click here to make a donation, it’s really easy and we really appreciate any amount you can afford!

Free Zombie Nation mix!
For those of you who only know the name Zombie Nation from “Kernkraft 400″, um, you’re way off. But it’s OK, I’m not mad at you. You can do you homework now. Here, I’ll help you. “Kernkraft” was actually a remix of a remix of a remix that ZN had nothing to do with and it couldn’t be further from his sound.
You might know Zombie Nation as Tiga’s partner in ZZT. Or you might know his alias John Starlight. But what you should really get into is his albums. This year’s Zombielicious is one of my favorite albums of the year and a big source of inspiration for me. He’s a producer from Germany who mixes analog gear and spacey effects with chopped up samples on his MPC to make rich, spooky tracks.
He’s coming to tour America soon and out of the goodness of his zombie heart he’s giving away this mix of 25 tracks from all his albums.

Grab Siriusmo’s Chromeo remix!!
Seriously, you need this in your life. I love a good 2-parted track. Siriusmo is my favorite producer of the year, and if you don’t know how I feel about Chromeo then I don’t know what you’re doing on this blog. The combination is everything I hoped it would be! Recommended.
Also if you’re in NY this Friday don’t miss Chromeo live at Brooklyn Bowl! More info on the FG blog.
