A-Trak and Travis Barker Team Up 

 

Many of us wondered if with the death of DJ AM, if Travis Barker would ever perform with another DJ having had so much success with AM. Well, today Kanye West tour DJ A-Trak and Barker told MTV.com that they will be playing two shows at Los Angeles' Roxy Theater and a larger South by Southwest performance. Oh, ya and maybe play some saunas. Travis Barker and A-Trak had this to say about the two coming together:  

"I had met A-Trak last year at Coachella, but I had seen a set of his at Avalon in Los Angeles maybe four years ago, with AM," Barker told MTV News. "He was a guy who I always wanted to work with in some way. So I gave him a call."

"When Travis hollered, I was definitely flattered. We started by jamming once, back in the fall, just came over to the studio, and we did, like, one hour of jamming, which we thought was maybe a half an hour," A-Trak added. "I just started playing records and scratching, and he was playing on top, and it went really, really naturally. It was very fluid. And we stopped and looked at the watch, and it was like, 'Oh, we've been playing for an hour and didn't even realize it.' And I think that solidified for both of us in our minds that we could do this pretty easily."

We'll see what this DMC champion and Barker come up with, but pretty sure it's going to be more than any of us expect.
