New from the DFA...

just came back from hearing justin and jacques (and lovefingers) dj at what used to be a sex club while dancing on the bottom of what used to be a small pool. I left early because I'm old, but it was pretty cool, even though I thought the false floor on the bottom of the pool above the lights seemed like it might let me fall through at any moment.

sooooooooooo jeal

im late on this but that tiedye remix of dj kaos - must have listened 20 times yesterday - going up against that today - chances are good i think

Yeah what exactly is the status of the Six Finger Satellite reissues? Did I miss them or is this project still bubbling away in the DFA lab? I mean I have the originals... but the kids don't.

woolfy lp and 2nd BMS 12" now up on emusic...

If I don't find out the name of the song being played at 56:00 - 58:40 of that Justin Miller DFA mix, then I will be totally depressed forever. HELP!

go here and pick that show out of the pull-down menu

full track list is in there

it's between but is not either the plez nor shit robot (of course that's assuming the t/l is in order) so i'm still in the dark

Found it! It is called "Simple Things (Work It Out) (Serge Santiago Remix)" by Shit Robot and it will be released on July 14th. Awesome!

ugh so is there any reason that dfa is re-releasing this woolfy album from two years ago with 2 fewer original tracks (replaced by remixes)? are these remixes worth it, did they re-record things or what?

if not, laaame. the album never did much for me the first time around, not sure it deserves another airing

Really, really feeling the Black Meteoric Star. Way more than expected (although I'm not sure why, I really liked the D and G album). Especially love "Death Tunnel", "Dominatron", "Dreamcatcher", and "Anthem".

new Holy Ghost! single "I Will Come Back" is great, possibly better than "Hold On"

when is it released?

is it the one with michael mcdonald?

Wait a second. HG's single is being released by Mountain Dew? WTF?

Black Meteoric Star album is FANTASTIC. It's like the missing link between Orbital and krautrock, just so WARM and fuzzy and oh the textures, the sonic textures. It's full of wub and I love it.

is his stuff with Delia Gonzales like this? Coz in that case, I need to get some of that.

That's Tangerine Dreamy minimalist synthy stuff, different but still very good.

Ok, that pushes my buttons! Will check it out.

if u dig the bms, definitely chck out his petar dundov remix from earlier in the year

and yes the delia and gavin stuff is so so great

"I Will Come Back" available here (by permission of Holy Ghost!)

as posted on the DFA forum:
"yeah, we got a very small run of white labels today and we're going to give a handful to one of our favorite record stores in NYC to give away. We're also doing a limited run of full artwork 12"s beautifully designed by DFA art wiz Michael Vadino, the ENTIRE run of which will be given away too (just have to figure out how). That's a couple weeks away though.

And we got killer remixes from DJ Mehdi and Classixx - did I mention that? "

OK, I no longer understand genres at all, because that Petar Dundov remix thingey, to my ears, that is just straight up dronerock. A wonderful thing indeed.

just listening to it now but uh this is great news -- u mean folks can get paid to make music again??

I'm sure Mt. Dew cares very deeply about the careers of its artists. Forget major labels! I can't wait for that album to drop on Wonder Bread Recordings. Get paid!

who cares if mt dew cares about my career as an artist? just tryin to pay some rent bro

lol @ engaging with you but seriously

altho u might have a point -- this song does include the lyrics "drink mountain dew"

and why not? it is a refreshing drink that exhilarates and quenches with its one-of-a-kind great taste®

Does anyone know if Dr. Pepper needs some acid house joints? Seriously, I need a new car.

"which track is that?"

vahid - check it:
http://www.greenlabelsound.com/holyghost

Green Label Sound woot woot.

just not feeling that holy ghost track. music's kinda generic and vocals kinda bug

yeah i like it ok but its def not as good as 'hold on'

the black meteoric star album is so A+

Ha ha, Lex stay out of my record collection. You'll be liking dronerock next!

the holy ghost! track isn't nu-disco it's straight up synth-pop which is a fine thing but the track, especially the vocal, kind of sucks. i agree with jaxon.

eh, i like it a lot....but the 'possibly better than Hold On' comment doesn't hold up, i'll admit

just out of interest, who is releasing the altair nouveau single outside of the USA?

oh hey didn't notice this. the UK 12" is on Solar Disco (and has Space Fortress plus two remixes).

reason i ask is that i can't seem to buy it digitally in AUS from anywhere, not even my usual holdouts like boomkat, which is extremely disappointing

hmm... it looks like it's available as a combo (all the tracks on the dfa release plus the remixes) at www.junodownload.com, but I dunno if that applies in Australia as well.

don't know why i didn't check juno, thanks! <3

john daly remix = i am there

old from the dfa: is the DFA remix of the rock by delakota by *the* DFA? can't find much about it online so not sure when the remix was released. it's not very good, but i could upload it someplace if anyone fancies a listen

sorry for the diversion but here's a great piece about the original by ilx's own nick southall: http://www.stylusmagazine.com/articles/seconds/delakota-the-rock.htm

nick, do you know about this dfa remix?

There's a 'No Hand Shakes' remix on the 12" by Tim Goldsworthy of DFA, it might be that? Speeded-up vocals? I just found that Stylus piece too whilst googling..

ahh, that makes sense - i found the mp3 on soulseek so i guess someone must have renamed it. i wonder what else goldsworthy was remixing back then.

i recall he did an amazing remix (and production work?) on david holmes' "don't die just yet", and he did the "unkle situation" remix of karmacoma, which is fantastic too

http://www.discogs.com/artist/Tim+Goldsworthy

There's a great remix of Dawn of the Replicants' Skullcrusher from around then too - I think it's credited to David Holmes but I'm guessing it's as much Goldsworthy's work as he was his main engineer/producer/whatever guy back then.

^ think I still have this in a box and have not got around to listening yet, seven years after buying
