Alain Macklovitch, aka A-Trak is a Canadian DJ, turntables, record producer, and founder of record label Fools Gold. He started young, winning his first DJ Championship at the age of 15 and collecting 4 more world championships by 18. He is known for using highly technical turntable skills and scratching into his genre-spanning work. His craft caught the attention of Kanye West and A-Trak became Kanye’s original tour DJ. This led him to start Fools Gold where he continues to develop the careers of several artists. One, early on, being Kid Cudi — you remember your favorite Cudi song Day + Night? We have this classic thanks to A-Trak.

One of my favorite things about Alain is he is so multifaceted. I love talking to him about tech and politics. He is an artist, a leader, a mentor, a brother (who he also makes music with,) and his constant evolution with all of these things is exactly why he is where he is today. We will be talking about all of this and more!
