Fool's Gold Vol. 1

Rather than merely collect hits from the label's already-impressive young career, Vol. 1 features new and previously unreleased music from the Fool's Gold roster, family and friends, illustrating how the label that began as an outlet for "the absolute best in club music on all levels" has grown into a home for the best new independent music, period. "Ray Ban Vision," A-Trak's robot-rocking collab with Kanye West's latest rap protege CyHi Da Prynce, sits comfortably next to Treasure Fingers' joyous dance pop throwback "Keep Up" and The Suzan's rollicking cover of Miike Snow's "Animal," along with new tracks from other exciting, constantly-evolving talents like Kingdom, Flosstradamus, and Lil B, the Rolling Stone-annointed "Hot Weirdo Rapper" who teases his forthcoming Fool's Gold EP with the manic bass of "Freeze." The compilation's 14 surprising tracks share the latest obsessions from founders who are still fans, and gives a 3-D look at where Fool's Gold has been and where they're going next, informed by the same anything-goes DJ spirit the label was founded upon.
