Fool’s Gold European Vacation from Mr Goldbar on Vimeo.

As a final complement to the recap blog that I wrote after the FG European Vacation tour, here’s a video retrospective. (Shed a single tear.)

If you’d like to immortalize this slice of time, you can still purchase a t-shirt over at the Fool’s Gold webstore.

Scion Magazine 15: Fool’s Gold from Scion A/V on Vimeo.

The Fool’s Gold European Vacation tour was the first official FG tour outside of American shores. The line-up was various combinations of: myself, Jokers of the Scene, Congorock and Greenmoney. For two weeks we traveled across the Old Continent, spreading the gospel of Mr Goldbar, leaving a trail of stickers and sweaty club kids. We slalomed between language barriers and customs officers, all in the name of the logo as Lyor would say. Even when we hit cities that I’ve played by myself, it was a completely different experience to show up with a posse and make that statement, throwing merch into the crowd and playing snippets of upcoming 2010 releases. Representation in the European parliament shouldn’t be very far off.

Next Saturday (12/19) Fool’s Gold is throwing a holiday party in NYC with our pals at LTD Mag. Just Blaze will play a house set! Ever since we first started the record label Nick and I have had this idea in the back of heads to do something house-related with Just Blaze. The great Max Glazer will also be on deck duties, as well as @catchdini and a sibling set by Dave and myself.

It’s an early one, starts at 9pm. Come celebrate the non-denominational holidays with us! Free with RSVP.

First official Fool’s Gold European tour! It’s about darn time. How do you say Fool’s Gold in German?

Scion Radio 17: Fool’s Gold (A-Trak & Nick Catchdubs) Interview from Scion A/V on Vimeo.

Conducted by the bros Cosmo Baker and DJ Eleven at WMC earlier this year.

Tune in to Scion Radio here.

As stated in this post, Fool’s Gold has been in charge of Kid Cudi remixes and the latest one is my personal favorite of the “Make Her Say” package: Nadastrom’s “88 Dub” mix which you can download here. I’m feeling their new direction, going for a deeper 4am vibe.

More remixes coming!

Ok so I imagine most of the people who visit my blog have heard of Duck Sauce in some way, shape or form but I never made an official announcement. Duck Sauce is me and Armand Van Helden. It’s our project together, just making house tracks and hollering at ducks. We made a 4 track EP which is slated for a September release, but we’re actually putting the 2 main tracks “aNYway” and “You’re Nasty” on Beatport tomorrow as an advance release for DJs. The support from DJs has already been overwhelming, I can’t wait to see how this one grows!

Here’s our first ever interview:
