A-Trak On Live DJing vs a Live Show
We’re pretty sure that if the need ever were to arise, A-Trak could always fall back on a career as a writer. From his tour diaries to his writing in the mainstream press, he excels at getting to the heart of the matter, and doing so in an entertaining fashion. It’s fitting, then, that his two cents on the Deadmau5 / “All we do is press play” debacle are the first on the subject that we’ve chosen to share. Check out his thoughtful piece on Huffington Post.

Stream a New Track From Digitalism’s DJ-Kicks
The Digitalism guys really hooked us up as far as new exclusive content on their DJ-Kicks. We already shared “A New Drug” with you, and now the guys have streamed a new track called “Simply Dead” via their Soundcloud. This one goes big, with a driving tempo and some low-end crunch that is clearly made for smashing dance floors. Check the band’s Facebook for tour dates, and look for DJ-Kicks in just a few more weeks.

Digitalism Ready New DJ-Kicks With Plenty Of Exclusives
When speaking with Jens Moelle and İsmail Tüfekçi, the two men behind Digitalism, we learned that they’re really quite big fans of DJ-Kicks. Perhaps their love of the series explains why they dug so deep for their own mix, blessing us with a heap of exclusive, unreleased Digitalism material, as well as a new edit, a new remix, two “club weapons” which have appeared in their sets for years but have yet to see an official release, and of course a connoisseur’s selection of tracks that give a window into their “sonic universe.”
We thought it was only fair to match the duo’s generosity and offer a brand new track to download. Grab “A New Drug” below, and check out the full album tracklist. Digitalism’s DJ-Kicks will be available July 10th on CD, LP & digital download, and the group will be touring internationally in support of the release.
