" Milkcrate Jewels 37 "

Before he was Kanye West's DJ, before "Fools Gold Records", A-Trak was involved with a group called "Obscure Disorder" from Montreal, Canada..

Troy Dunnit, Eclipse, Logik, and Dave One (A-Trak's brother, now in the group Chromeo) put out a handful of singles on their own imprint "Audio Research Records" that have managed to age very well.....

In my opinion, A-Trak's best production work is with this group...

Check out the very ill " Overdose Music" for proof, or take a listen to this brilliant cut from 2002, "The Grill" that showcases how fresh A-Trak can get behind the boards.....Sometimes I wish he would have expanded on this type of formula, instead of dabbling in the "New age electro" types of beats he deals with nowadays (To each his own)...

There were talks of an album (7 Months Of Ice) that was supposed to drop in the early 2000's- but for some reason that album was never released to my knowledge..(What a shame-this group had the potential to do major damage at a critical time in independent Hip Hop, maybe we can get a Lost Tapes type of release fellas)..
