A-Trak Returns to Portland

by Terry Richardson

Despite its size Portland has seen some of the biggest names in Electro; the Beetroots, MSTRKRFT, Justice, and the list goes on. This Friday the 13th Portlanders will once again be treated to a performance by a heavy weight of electronic music: A-Trak. Everybody in Portland should be excited about this show, which as if it was not enough, will feature Kid Sister and The Gaslamp Killer. Portland has seen A-trak back in 2009, and this Friday he is coming to pretty much the same establishment: The Rotture/ Branx. I am sure Portlanders will make this date of the Magic 8-Ball Tour remarkable.

A 90's turntablism wiz kid, a tour DJ for Kanye, an acclaimed remixer, and recently the mastermind behind the Duck Sauce phenomenon, A-Trak's performance will be nothing short of incredible... not to mentioned that it comes with two huge acts I would pay to go to see individually.

If you haven't already, you should definitely click here to purchase your tickets. Not sure that you want to go yet? Well check out this recap of A-Trak's performance at Coachella and go to A-Trak's photo blog:

Not enough?

Then, listen to these killer tracks and make up your mind, trust me it is good for you:

  Boys Noize - Oh! (A-Trak Remix) by A-Trak

  Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Heads Will Roll (A-Trak Remix) club edit by A-Trak

There is no way you are not convinced by now, so I am just going to assume we will see you at the show, where we will be covering what we hope will be one of Portland's best nights of the year.
