After interviewing multiple artists for the Mixpak blog, I’ve heard one name repeated over and over when I ask about up and coming artist s that the world needs to prepare for. That name would be Chicago’s DJ Nate, known internationally for his footwork trax and wicked syncopation. In the past there’s been a ton of rumors swirling around DJ Nate’s existence (which of these five websites does he actually update? Is he really only seventeen? etc. etc.), but now we have some facts coming in.

Now, in some exciting news via XLR8R, it looks like ” the juke-repping beatmaker has penned a deal with Planet Mu to release his “Footwork Homicide” 12″ in September, with a full-length album, called Da Trak Genious, following in October. More specifics will be coming soon on the Planet Mu website.”

To celebrate, enjoy one of Nate’s earliest cuts: “Give Dat Man Room”.
