DJ A-Train

Date/Time:Every week Friday, 9:00pm

From Here to All Points Beyond

John Hood

From Here to All Points Beyond

DJ A-Train's name alone will tell you where this cat's coming from. Like the Big Bad Apple's most fabled locomotive, his sound slips straight outta far-east Brooklyn, roars through the downtown underground, and finds light uptown, at the foot of Harlem's ever-shaking Sugar Hill. And like the Strayhorn standard that became the Ellington signature song, it's got the bop-tinged swing that speaks of hot nights on the big town. But it also brings back a bit of Brubeck's Cali-cool updating of that great American classic, the place where coasts collide and come up with a whole new magic.

Born in backwoods Tennessee and raised in Gainesville, A-Train first became hip to DJ culture on a long trip to Tokyo. Struck by the light and the energy, the minute A-Train got back to G-ville, he hijacked his sister's turntables and swiped a stack of records from a few good friends and immediately set his life on spin. Before long, A-Train outgrew the town that gave him his start, and like many an inspired talent before him, he headed south, where every speck of sand seems to represent another night waiting to be set off.
