A-TRAK EMBARKS ON 20+ DATE 10,000LB HAMBURGER TOUR THROUGHOUT NORTH AMERICA THIS SUMMER

DANCEFLOOR DARLINGS RYE RYE AND TREASURE FINGERS TO OPEN

A-Trak, undoubtedly the year’s hardest working DJ and producer responsible for two recent mix albums, Infinity +1 and Fabriclive 45, is announcing his tour de force, pun intended: the 10,000LB Hamburger Tour. The famously blogging, air mile accumulating, twittering tastemaker will be hitting North American live venues this summer over a whopping 20+ dates, accompanied by Baltimore’s effervescent emcee Rye Rye and Fool’s Gold’s own disco don Treasure Fingers. Not one to be outdone, A-Trak is taking his sets to a new level, combining his prowess of mixing many genres of energetic dance music with his natural mastery of turntablism and a spanking new stage design, sure to raise the bar for DJ tours in all aspects. Clearly this hamburger comes with a shake and a side of jumping beans. Start saving your appetite.

“[A-Trak]’s established himself as a favorite among the shutter-shades generation, and for good reason. He’s great at putting familiar styles into interesting contexts, blurring lines between eras, and just plain knowing what tracks sound good next to each other.” — PITCHFORK

“If there’s an art to live mixing and mashing for a dance floor, A-Trak is something of a Rembrandt.” — LA TIMES
