It’s hard to find someone who works harder than A-Trak, the Montreal-based DJ/producer/remixer. He has the résumé to prove it: the youngest ever DMC champion (15 years old! No Serato Scratch Live!); Kanye West’s tour DJ; co-founder of the Fool’s Gold record label (with Nick Catchdubs.) His reach into the music scene is personal, too. His older brother is one half of electronica duo Chromeo and his girlfriend is rapper Kid Sister. But despite all of the above, he has only one full-length mix to his credit (and no, I’m not counting his Nike Running Man Mix.)

It’s hard to believe it has been almost two years since A-Trak released Dirty South Dance. It’s even harder to believe that there were only 5000 copies pressed. He’s certainly been keeping busy– founding a record label, releasing a dozen or so remixes and touring extensively. But you’re probably sick of his “Beeper” and “Stronger” remixes at this point and itching for something new. Well, the wait is finally over.

A-Trak’s latest album effort, Infinity+1, is scheduled for an April 14th release (courtesy of Thrive Records). Check out the tracklisting below:

1. Intro / John Dahlbäck: “Sidewalk” 
2. KIM: “Party Machini”

4. Farley Jackmaster Funk: “Love Can’t Turn Around” (Lifelike Remix) 
5. MSTRKRFT [ft. N.O.R.E.]: “Bounce” (A-Trak Remix)

7. Kid Sister: “Life on TV”

14. Gonzales: “Working Together” (Boys Noize Dub Mix) 
15. Soundstream: “Freakin”

Yes, A-Trak is painfully late on the “Bounce” remix. But this disc still looks promising. Unfortunately, you’ll have to wait two months for the entire thing. Listen to track 8 below for a sample of what’s to come.

If any of the tunes contained in this post happen to suit your taste, the artist would probably be thrilled if you considered buying them on iTunes, Beatport, or Amazon.
