Thanks to our friends at Discobelle for the heads up on this one. Such a big tune and you can see by the crowd reaction across the globe its one that everyone can get into. Must be an amazing feeling to play to crowds that size.
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
Treasure Fingers was kind enough to give us the heads up on the recent official release of “Cross The Dancefloor” on Fool’s Gold Records with remixes from Curses!, Laidback Luke, Chromeo, and Lifelike. You can pick it up at iTunes, Beatport, Juno, and Turntable Lab. The pre-release has been a staple for us for some time now but this newly mixed and mastered version is top notch. We got the thumbs up to post the Lifelike remix which is excellent. He is on a plane as we speak to Australia for a short stint of DJ gigs. If you are out in that part of the world, make sure you go support. Enjoy the freebie and make sure you buy the full release!

Better than the original in our opinion. Laidback Luke is a machine! Seems like everyday a new remix pops up.
