The story goes that A-Trak (Kanye’s DJ) was the one who introduced Kanye to Daft Punk’s “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.” A-Trak figured he might as well get publicity from the song since he won’t be getting any check for it. His version is a literal interpretation of the original title: harder, faster, and stronger.

Nah, I wouldn’t say it’s better though I think I know some people that would disagree with me. I like it though, it can stand on it’s own legs like a good remix should. The way he freaks the vocoder sample making it a part of the beat’s instrumentation is very reminiscent of the original without repeating what was done there. The ‘me likey’ spliced in was nice too.
I think this will go down very well in clubs over here in Europe. So esbee, if you ever decide to cross the Atlantic better pack some aspirin ;).
what is it with all these backpacker skratch DJ’s that all of a sudden make club music when before they jockin beatminerz and primo? this sounds like all that chromeo nerd electro…oh wait…forgot…dave is his older brother. damn i miss the dirtstyle days. oVF!
you know of any programs that will make you stream music on Blogger? Kinda like divshare but without the ability to download?

I know of one but it only works on wordpress.
Nice…i like it. Most of the time, hip-hop/R’n'B tunes turned into dance tracks sound wickedy-wack but I think this drops on the decent side - would definitely sound sweet in a club during an upeat dance set.
“A-Trak’s is more dance/trance/techno style while Kanye is more hip-hop, that’s why he’s the rapper not the DJ.”
They’re two different disciplines but both dudes have a solid hiphop background, don’t sleep. A-Trak won every major turntablist contest before he stepped into the more mainstream spotlight. I also disagree that A-Trak is a dance/trance/techno DJ in stead of hiphop. I heard him rock a party last year and it had a whole plethora of styles but still way more hiphop than any techno or trance.
