A few years ago, Elvis Presley held the number one song on the charts. The funny thing about that was that he’d been dead for decades. The JXL remix of Elvis’ “A Little Less Conversation” proved what a talented DJ/producer might do to an original song. In the right hands, a DJ’s remix can make a song better or different (in a good way).

A-Trak, who’s been mixing and remixing for at least a decade is about to drop a new and huge compilation of his best and greatest remixes. So, the question for A-Trak is whether he’s noticed a shift in the industry in terms of how mixes are perceived and accepted by both the music industry and music lovers everywhere.

Forbes interviewed him recently. Check out what he has to say about DJing and remixing here.
