i am not offended, honest! I just did not understand the spinal tap reference. it seems like a jab at someone becoming sad, desperate, at the end of their career, irrelevant and short on any ideas and money. why on earth would that offend the label, artist or remixers? We are now revising label copy to read "Caro's Lick My Love Pump Remix in D Minor".

To actually answer little berzbow wow's original question, "how are the new remixes for juan maclean's 'love is in the air'," I'll say that I've heard both the Caro and Strategy remixes and love them. Strategy's very much reminds me of New Order circa Republic.

all are listenable in the dfa records radio on the website.

New mixes by James Murphy, Tim Sweeney and Shit Robot are up at http://www.dfarecords.com/radiomixes/

I would LOVE IT if Truesteppers remixed DFA stuff. I would like to hear jams murphy's views on buggin', Audi coupés, moet and Victoria Beckham.

one month passes...

where the hell is the avaf video? I MUST SEE IT!

hey galkin, if you're reading: is the six finger satellite remix still gonna happen?

It's kind of disappointing- the cover of the single is a still from the video. Mostly consists of some vaguely silly dancing in front of the light-up neon backdrop.

― Telephonething (Telephonething), Wednesday, 12 July 2006 01:15 (nineteen years ago)

well... i love the cover : (

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Wednesday, 12 July 2006 15:45 (nineteen years ago)

bump... just in case galkin might be able to provide an answer.

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Thursday, 13 July 2006 16:59 (nineteen years ago)

an answer to what? the video is on the enhanced CD, not the best format for it for sure and hopefully we will be able to get it onto a dvd one day. It is really gorgeous, strobey, hypnotic and quite sexy, i think. i love it. and all dancing is silly, but can be very personal too. slowing it down and speeding it up only emphasizes this, i think. and the lighting job is fantastic.

I think I might be coming around to the video, but it's too bad avaf didn't use animation for this one. Are the dancers in the video Delia and Gavin?

― Telephonething (Telephonething), Friday, 14 July 2006 00:30 (nineteen years ago)

the dude looks a lot like gavin

― the fuckablity of late picasso (vahid), Friday, 14 July 2006 02:05 (nineteen years ago)

yeah Gavin shaved his beard. Delia kept hers. the thing is, the lighting essentially is animated, we shot it all, but spent 4 weeks editing it all (we shot on green screen). It was a long process.
and regarding the 6FS remix.....someday, but it has gotten pushed aside. Juan and LCD are both into making album #2 now, so it became less of a priority.
we should just repress the original on 12" and give it away. People need to DJ that out as it is.

― GALKIN (GALKIN), Friday, 14 July 2006 13:09 (nineteen years ago)

new remixes for juan maclean's 'love is in the air'," I'll say that I've heard both the Caro and Strategy remixes and love them. Strategy's very much reminds me of New Order circa Republic.

I agree about the New Order similarity on the Strategy rmx, but I dunno-- I couldn't get as into it as I thought I was going to.

― trees (treesessplode), Friday, 14 July 2006 15:15 (nineteen years ago)

i thought maybe the cd single hadn't been released yet... haven't seen it anywhere and a quick google search doesn't take me anywhere i can buy it... i already own the record and was hoping to see the video online somewhere, actually.

DFA WEB SHOP HAS IT ALL FOR SALE. PLEASE BUY A COPY!

― GALKIN (GALKIN), Friday, 14 July 2006 16:09 (nineteen years ago)

what did you put on during your set at dazzle ships? i mean roughly whatever you remember.

― fongoloid sangfroid (sanskrit), Friday, 14 July 2006 23:22 (nineteen years ago)

not much, my brother hogged the decks to try and impress dan selzer. they went home together, so i think it worked. i know i played family fodder, au pairs, slovenly, slits, tv personalities, mark beer, david bowie, donna summer, Le Pamplemousse and definitely more but that is all i can remember (i also spun 5 stellas and one shot of blueberry vodka)

― GALKIN (GALKIN), Saturday, 15 July 2006 01:42 (nineteen years ago)

I left before your brother. You don't remember because you were too drunk. Andy thought it was a dance party and brought all hi-nrg new wave club bangers. That really brought down everyone who was there to hear Jeremy play 45s at 33 pitched down -8. I, for the record, played nothing that was written and sung by Syd Barrett.

I definitely remember the Family Fodder, I remember thinking, is the song Debbie Harry really 20 minutes long?

Thanks for coming down, hope you had a good time. A lot of really nice and cool people were there, and it was a totally down to earth time, just like we like.

three weeks pass...

that new remix of 'colours' by hot chip is not what I expected at all! anyone else heard it?

― HPSTRKRFT (haitch), Monday, 7 August 2006 13:36 (nineteen years ago)

yeah... not a hot chip fan but i liked it

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 7 August 2006 13:44 (nineteen years ago)

Has the Fred Falke mix surfaced yet? Really curious about that one...

― Telephonething (Telephonething), Monday, 7 August 2006 19:42 (nineteen years ago)

the DFA remix of Colours is beautiful and magic.

― theghostrobot (theghostrobot), Monday, 7 August 2006 22:19 (nineteen years ago)

I am really, really, really, really, really, really loving the "Colours" remix. I can't imagine how one would mix into or out of it, but goddamned if it isn't the most glacially pretty song I've heard since waking up to the Knife in a big way earlier this year. Michael Mann should have rented it out for Miami Vice - I can't remember all the songs that movie used to set against Colin Ferrell looking pensive, but I seriously doubt any of them worked as well as this one would have.

― James.Cobo (jamescobo), Friday, 11 August 2006 22:09 (nineteen years ago)

three weeks pass...

So I just heard about the Arthur Russell remix today and was reminded that I hadn't known the mindfuckingly great "Colours" remix was going to be on the horizon either, and figured I better revive this thread to see if there was anything else coming up soon. It feels weird to have only seen one proper "album" be released on DFA this year (Hot Chip) - I never end up listening to DFA albums as much as the singles for obvious reasons (Days of Mars being the lone exception), but the albums are always so so so interesting to listen to as "mission statements" that I end up giving them a stupidly giant amount of chances whether they deserve them or not.

― James.Cobo (jamescobo), Thursday, 7 September 2006 02:17 (nineteen years ago)

we have the dfa remixes chapter 2 coming out on october 3. we have a new hot chip 12" coming out in a few months, with new remixes of over and over (maurice fulton and mock & toof), we have the first 7" single from prinzhorn dance school out late october. next year we will have full lengths from lcd ss, the juan maclean, shocking pinks, shit robot, prinzhorn dance school, dfa compilation #3 and more full lengths tbd. we have a JT remix coming out soon, as well as a remix for a new EMI band called Captain. Glad people seem to be digging Colours, it is on the new remix compilation.

― GALKIN (GALKIN), Thursday, 7 September 2006 03:07 (nineteen years ago)

shocking pinks? as in the shite nz band? cripes.

― electric sound of jim [and why not] (electricsound), Thursday, 7 September 2006 03:16 (nineteen years ago)

nope, must be a different band. we signed a really good one.

― GALKIN (GALKIN), Thursday, 7 September 2006 03:28 (nineteen years ago)

I really liked Dance The Dance Electric, so it must be the good one. :)

Us Against The City in particular is excellent.

― Treblekicker (treblekicker), Thursday, 7 September 2006 10:41 (nineteen years ago)

I really liked Dance The Dance Electric...

I did too, but I haven't quite figured out what happened with the two albums since then (Mathematical Warfare and Infinity Land). Flat boring stuff.

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Thursday, 7 September 2006 16:44 (nineteen years ago)

we have a JT remix coming out soon

uh dtlz plz thx bye.

― grady (grady), Thursday, 7 September 2006 19:20 (nineteen years ago)

dfa compilation #3 >>> YEAH!!, (since #2 was my favorite records of 2005)

― francesco brunetti (minerva estassi), Thursday, 7 September 2006 23:27 (nineteen years ago)

this is the thread where i accidentally coined the genre called "beat beat"

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Friday, 8 September 2006 00:02 (nineteen years ago)

my lord, "over and over" is shaping up to be one of the most remixed tracks of recent times..

― jermaine (jnoble), Friday, 8 September 2006 07:01 (nineteen years ago)

News to me there were others. I'd heard they split up. Thanks anyway for the negative recommendation...

― Treblekicker (treblekicker), Friday, 8 September 2006 12:32 (nineteen years ago)

THIS THING IS FUCKING FUN!!!

― grady (grady), Friday, 8 September 2006 21:06 (nineteen years ago)

I gotta believe that crown belongs to "Drop The Pressure".

I think I'm most excited for that Captain mix - I can't even imagine where the DFA's entry point into such a straightforward Britpop band would be! (I'm also v. curious to hear how the DFA Steez interacts with the Trevor Horn Steez - a mighty steez-battle indeed.)

― James.Cobo (jamescobo), Friday, 8 September 2006 23:41 (nineteen years ago)

You can hear it at the very end of the Aug 8th episode of beats in space. it sounded kind of so-so to me as far as DFA mixes go, but i'm looking forward to hearing the whole thing.

"Hot Chip - Shake Your Fist (Diplo Remix) "

from a kiss fm playlist. what's the word on this?

also, again: the colors remix (rewind, repeat times a million).

― theghostrobot (theghostrobot), Saturday, 9 September 2006 17:44 (nineteen years ago)

Falke's remix has got one of those basslines that sticks in my head for days

― jergins (jergins), Saturday, 9 September 2006 19:16 (nineteen years ago)

The Falke remix of Colours is amazing, and I'm sorry to say massively owns the DFA one.

― Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 9 September 2006 19:53 (nineteen years ago)

it certainly works better on the floor

― jergins (jergins), Saturday, 9 September 2006 20:49 (nineteen years ago)

definitely works better on the floor. that is where my copy is.

― GALKIN (GALKIN), Sunday, 10 September 2006 14:51 (nineteen years ago)

have you tried putting it on a table?

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 10 September 2006 15:05 (nineteen years ago)

three weeks pass...

New Tim Sweeney mix up here: http://www.dfarecords.com/radiomixes

― braveclub (braveclub), Thursday, 5 October 2006 11:16 (nineteen years ago)

I'd heard something about Sweeney or Goldsworthy doing a mix for the Fabric CD series - is that happening?

― James.Cobo (jamescobo), Thursday, 5 October 2006 15:47 (nineteen years ago)

I thought they were teaming up for a DJ-Kicks mix?
