Justice – New Lands (A-Trak Remix)
Fool's Gold founder, A-Trak, lends his unique style and personality to the forthcoming Justice New Lands EP set to be released on Ed Banger Records later this month. Mr. Macklovitch morphs the original's prog-rock style into a a bouncey, dancefloor-friendly production that oozes with all the groove we've come to expect from an A-Trak release. Intricately layered and impossibly funky this track is yet another reason why A-Trak continues to rank amongst the top producers in the game right now.
