BBQ bangers served by the co-founder of Fool’s Gold Records.

Bad News: Summer, like the impaled remains of a drippy popsicle, is almost over. Good News: your three-day Labor Day weekend is upon us, and we've got the perfect party soundtrack.

To coincide with this year's Fool's Gold Day Off party — the sixth annual cool-kid cabal featuring the rising stars of hip-hop and electronic music that your basic friends will ask you about a year from now — DJ A-Trak, co-founder of the label from which the fest takes its name, gifted BuzzFeed with a special mix of sweat-inducing bangers. Featured artists include: Father, D.R.A.M., Fetty Wap, Post Malone, and DJ Hoodboi.

What's the secret ingredient that makes the Day Off parties work?

We're the only festival that meshes hip-hop and electronic music like we do. There's a bunch of EDM festivals out there, obviously. And there's a couple hip-hop festivals. But we have the whole spectrum that I think is really what a generation of people are listening to now. We'll have Travis Scott, Vic Mensa, Action Bronson, Danny Brown. But then we'll bridge that with rappers that we all grew up listening to as well: Kurupt, or The Lox, or DJ Quik in LA. These are people we've brought out. And then we'll throw in a bunch DJs because everyone's listening to electronic music now, too. But it's like, we don't get the full-on EDM guys, we'll get people who make music that you might throw on at the crib or whatever. It's not full-on festival EDM, it's DJ Hoodboi or Milo & Otis, or Flosstradamus, or myself, whose version of electronic music will appeal to hip-hop fans as well.

In a lot of ways, we've kind of come to realize that the Day Off events are one of the best representations of what Fool's Gold literally stands for. No one listens to one genre anymore. It's not the '90s where you had one group of kids who listened to Joy Division, and another group of kids who listened to KRS One and they didn't speak to each other. Everybody listens to everything now. Day Off in a lot of ways is where people can experience that diversity first hand and see how it literally makes sense together. When people talk about cross-cultural millennials and all the silly buzzwords that get passed around in corporate decks or whatever, we have those kids. We have that diversity. And I think it comes from musical diversity.

Meek Mill is headlining the New York date on Labor Day. What did you think of his come-back track against Drake?

I'm not so interested in that beef, personally. I'm a fan of music. In the scope of hip-hop, that wasn't even really a beef in my opinion. Hip-hop beefs on wax used to last months and months, years even. People would go back and forth with records. This was like a quick little thing, but because we live in the meme era, it was sort of blown into a bigger thing.

I think Meek's album is one of the best hip-hop albums of this year. I'm not ta
