A-Trak's first solo foray isn't an album, it's a DVD -- and Sunglasses Is A Must has already been getting buzz from every magazine and website across the land. From being the youngest DJ to win the DMC World Championship to co-founding Fool's Gold Recs and becoming Kanye West's tour DJ, young Alain Macklovitch has accomplished a whole bunch in his young life, and now you can see why with your own two eyes. Soundtracked by A-Trak himself, and featuring guest appearances by Kanye West, DJ Craze, Money Mark, Roc Raida, Mix Master Mike, Peanut Butter Wolf, and DJ Qbert, Sunglasses Is A Must is basically a must-see for fans of any stage of the dude's weird career trajectory.

LAB POINTS

The limited Fool's Gold edition of the TMA-1 not only comes in the signature Fool's Gold colorway, it also has new features not included on the standard TMA-1! These features include:

• angled stereo plug
• cable lock
• embossed FG logo on cup
• embossed AIAIA & FG logos on inside headband
  
  

Years in the making, the TMA-1 DJ Headphone is probably the most well thought-out dj headphones ever designed. Drawing input from an impressive DJ roster list (2Manydjs, A-Trak, Flying Lotus, James Murphy to name a few) AIAIAI and Danish design firm KibiSi have specifically addressed all the headphone needs of the DJ and more. Plus, the minimalist, modern design in itself is stunning. Lab recommended.

MANUFACTURER's REVIEW

The one-piece TMA-1 headband consists of a strong, durable and flexible nylon material, which provides full flexibility when wearing and positioning the headphones during DJing. The two different cushions can be changed easily with the click release function, so the headphones fit all situations- from a noisy club environment to just being on the road. The speaker is protected by the cushion plate with integrated filter and provides the richest sound that is available today along with the most durable driver technology. Finally, there is a 3mm cotton fiber filter for isolation and the headphone cup out of a resistant ABS material to protect the fragile parts. The 1.7 meter cable has a mini jack connection in both ends as well as a reinforced plug with a 1/8 adapter option. It has a 0.4 meter coil on the wire, which gives extra length and flexibility at the turntable.

The name TMA-1 (Tycho Magnetic Anomaly-1) is taken from Arthur C. Clarke's science fiction novel "2001: A Space Odyssey" and refers to a black Monolith, which is extremely long-lived and reliable just as the TMA-1.
