4. Running Man, 2008

“If you’re expecting Dirty South Dance, don’t. It’s closer to LCD Soundsystem & Ringer, just with the rhythm of Hip-Hop. Very electro, very cool, and quite possibly Nike’s best yet.”

3. Gangsta Breaks, 2001

“One of his first productions as A-Trak, and certainly one of his best. Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites is what electronic music is all about and if you’re truly a fan of the genre, then please listen to this with an open mind and see how absolutely great it is.”

2. Infinity +1, 2009

“Really good track selection, but given A-Trak’s technical ability on the 1’s and 2’s, most of the transitions here come off as overly safe. Excusable in a live context for sure, but not on an official release. Unfortunately it’s overly evident when one song ends and another begins and thus whatever care Alain took into structuring curating the tracklist for this mix is lost with the energy loss during poorly planned cuts.”

1. Dirty South Dance 2, 2010

“This album lacks the high flying fun of the first album. He had his equipment turned up to 11 for the first volume and lowered it to about 7 on this one. These are the songs you would hear as the crowd clears out after the first album was performed. One of the most telling aspects of this album for me is that I didn’t want the first one to end, but this one I find myself checking to see how many songs are left and how long they are. Maybe a couple more listens are required but this album sounds like a step back to me. But then again if he could have beaten the first volume my head would explode.”
