DJ Atrak has made a pretty seamless transition into the dance music from his hip hop/turntablism upbringing. The new indie label he started with Nick Catchdubs (Fool’s Gold) is on the rise with acts like Treasure Fingers and LA Riots in high demand on the remix and DJ circuit. Doesn’t hurt being pals with Kanye West. Atrak linked up with house-meister Laidback Luke and together they spawned “Shake It Down.” Produced in just four hours?! We hear Luke knocks out new productions and remixes in record time. The tune has gotten some significant play in recent months and now gets its official release on Fool’s Gold with a remix from none other than the legendary DJ Sneak.
Here is some feedback from some of the big names canning this track:
“Guaranteed to shake any room to its deepest foundations.” - Erol Alkan
“A complete monster… really massive. It’s like a ‘get out of jail free’ track.” - Tiga
“The best track of the year, ‘Shake It Down’ is my favorite club music. My secret weapon for the 6 last months.” - Brodinski
“This record doesn’t sound new or old, it just feels like dancin!” - Feadz
“Best Hip-Hop/Techno collaboration since Mel Gibson and Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon 2. Makes me wanna be Joe Pesci to three-peat.” - DJ Mehdi
“Big tune!” - Boys Noize
“Dope track, play it all the times big or micro rooms… just bangin everywhere!!!” - Crookers
“I’m jealous!!! Fantastic track!!!” - Etienne De Crécy

The French really understand the balance between audio and visual. Here is a clip from a live set by Etienne de Crecy from his set at the Transmusicales Fesitval in France, last year. Pretty impressive. Thank you to Kanye for the heads up on this one.
