In the years that followed, he won every other international DJ battle, accumulating a record-breaking total of 5 world championships. Then, the candid Montreal adolescent toured the world, spreading the turntable gospel in an awkward French accent. Luckily, he always kept his video camera handy. Last year, he started compiling all his footage into Sunglasses Is A Must, a hilarious home-made documentary about his rise into the limelight. 52AUR1 Bar Code Price Code KK File Hip Hop Order Due February 23, 2006 Street Date March 14, 2006 The movie starts off with a child diligently practicing in his parents’ basement, and ends with behind-the-scenes pranks alongside Kanye West, for whom A-Trak now DJs. Sunglasses Is A Must is divided into three parts. “The Come Up” finds A-Trak winning his first titles while Q-Bert immediately takes him under his wing. In “The Battle Era”, A-Trak joins DJ Craze to form The Allies, an invincible DJ crew who dominated the late 90s battle scene. Finally, in “The Globe-Trotting Journals” A-Trak takes scratching to exotic locations, whether he’s deliriously jet-lagged in China or gazing off breathtaking vistas in South Africa. The crux of the documentary is a collection of groundbreaking DJ routines. But on top of A-Trak’s amazing turntable prowess, there are the many uncanny encounters he makes along the way. There he is, goofing off in Peanut Butter Wolf’s studio. There he is, jamming with Money Mark amidst a collection of home-made instruments. There he is again, following Master P producer KLC who offers a tour of his Louisiana mansion. And so on, from the Beastie Boys’ tour but to Kanye’s private jet… Through the bird’s eye view of a Handycam, Sunglasses Is A Must quietly follows A-Trak’s humble induction into hip hop royalty.

G.C. 34 BoxLot: 30 Big Black Lincoln, Heaven’s Caught On Fire (CD) Big Black Lincoln is Toronto’s answer to the “Supergroup”. The group fuses together the talents of Saukrates, Ro-Dolla, Ajile of Brass Munk, T.R.A.C.K.S. of IRS, and Shakari Nyte. Collectively, they make up the 2004 version of the Ohio Players, not so much in sound, but in style. Catalogue Number FNCD5500 Bar Code The brainchild of Chase Parsons (Capitol Hill Music CEO) and Saukrates, BBL was formed in 2002 to enhance Canada’s budding urban music scene. The group started out as a production team (Big Black Lincoln Productions) and naturally evolved into a full-on studio group (Big Black Lincoln). Big Black Lincoln Productions has already produced for artists such as Nas, Method Man, Redman, Nelly Furtado, Swollen Members, Kyprios, Kardinal Offishall and Jully Black. The studio group, Big Black Lincoln (BBL), have released singles on their own, further displaying their versatility in writing, producing, and vocal ability. To date, they have released the funk-drenched hit song, “Pimpin’ Life” and the house-inspired track “All of You”. Both songs garnered high-rotation play on urban radio across Canada, with the song “Pimpin’ Life” making Top 20 on CHR Radio and no. 16 on the MuchMusic Countdown. The song went on to receive a Juno nomination and a MuchMusic Video Award nomination. Big Black Lincoln’s music is a mixed bag of Soul, Funk, House and R&B. Don’t be fooled, however, into thinking it stops there. With musical influences ranging from Jimi Hendrix to John Coltrane, the seasoned, open minds of the group members promises to make any BBL album a unique listening experience.

G.C. 37/44 Box Lot: 25 For additional artist information please contact Jennifer McLeod at [email protected] Witch, S/T (CD) The group Witch was born from a marriage of apparently contradictory influences. J Mascis, of Dinosaur Jr. renown, and his longtime friend Dave Sweetapple were interested in forming a hard rock band. They found willing and able conspirators in Kyle Thomas and Asa Irons, members of New England avant-folk outfit Feathers. On their eponymous debut album, this line-up mounts a mighty sonic tumult that hearkens back to classic heavy metal sounds of early 70’s outfits while still being modern in its assault, and without falling into the ubiquitous “Stoner Rock” pigeonhole. Catalogue Number TPE065 Bar Code Price Code S File Rock Order Due Playing with an unbridled passion that recalls his work with Deep Wound, his early 80’s hardcore band, Mascis returns in Witch to his first love, drums. February 23, 2006 Street Date March 14, 2006 Witch headed into the studio and recorded their debut album for Tee Pee Records with engineer John Agnello, immediately following an extensive Dinosaur Jr. reunion tour this past Summer. John had already recorded Dinosaur Jr., J Mascis + the fog, Early Man, Son Volt and Screaming Trees to name a few.
