Yeah you're fuckinng obnoxious, everyone on this board thinks its cool to shit on stuff like this but when someone rags on all your guys incredibly pedantic and elementary taste in EDM you guys all get soooooooo butthurt.

Relax, man. DFA is wonderful.

[ods..]

it was a photo of a steaming pile of shit, in reference to how he feels about the label and artists. Hes gone out of his way numerous times to express his feelings but w/ no real justification.

Ah. Well now I see it.

[Thisismyname]

but for now chew on this.... a new beginning.

New Build, the collaboration between LCD Soundsystem drummer Pat Mahoney and Hot Chip’s Al Doyle and Felix Martin have announced a pending full-length release and tour this spring. The album, entitled Yesterday Was Lived & Lost, is described as a dance record, with ”the eccentricities of artists such as the Human League, Peter Gabriel, Robert Wyatt, Chris & Cosey, Cabaret Voltaire and Eno.” It will show itself on Mar. 5 via Lanark Records. The group will hit the road as an eight-piece unit—we hope with Nancy Wang and Tyler Pope—this spring.

The group released their second, “Do You Feel Loved,” last month, with remixes from Dominik Eulberg and Juju & Jordash. You can hear all three versions and peep the tracklist after the jump.

Odd, can't really find any mention of Pat being involved with this besides the article this above paragraph is from. Perhaps he's just acting as their live drummer? Anyone know if he's a studio member of the group? Just curious.

DFA2326: The 2 Bears - Work: The Remixes EP 1

The official U.S. Debut of The 2 Bears hit stores last week. Part one of two, this EP includes remixes by St. Etienne (Who are gonna release new music soon! Neat!), a really rad Dub version by The Bears themselves, and previously vinyl-only track Shakedown! Take a peek at the video for Work -



and keep an eye out for The 2 Bears' debut album, Be Strong, available for preorder now on iTunes with two bonus tracks!

DFA2328: Holy Ghost! - It's Not Over -

The final single from the self-titled Holy Ghost! LP before Alex Fonzarelli & Slick Nick return to the studio, commencing work on LP2. The single features an amazingly retro extended 12" remix by Dimitri From Paris. This is an iTunes exclusive for the next couple of weeks and will soon be on vinyl too, so please calm down if you prefer the wax.

And for those who have been patient, surprise! Check out the LIMITED EDITION 2nd PRESSING of their smash debut 2xLP, now with a natural cardboard cover with black & silver silkscreen. Even if you bought the first edition, part of you probably wants to buy this too. Hopefully it is the part of you that has your wallet.

some of the cheesdickiest electropop i've ever heard.



holy ghost successfully takes the worst aspects of 80's synthpop and tries (successfully) to sell it to modern day hipsters... smh

You couldn't have said it better. I remember walking out to the balcony after seeing 5 minutes of their set when they opened up for LCD...absolute garbage.

Really enjoying Be Strong by the 2 Bears. Didn't know they were on DFA...

[SoulDischarge]

Sort of agree on Holy Ghost! They're definitely one of the least innovative and interesting acts on DFA.

latest and greatest James Murphy news -

in the 10 months since LCD played their final show at Madison Square Garden last April, Murphy hasn't just been doing insane shit with no lesser talents than OutKast's Andre 3000 and Blur/Gorillaz maestro Damon Albarn. He has also reportedly produced sessions with Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Klaxons, and Holy Ghost!. "I'm trying to do what I used to do, which is just spend a day in the studio with people I think are good," Murphy told Pitchfork.

So let's say you're James Murphy. What else are you gonna do? Well, for another thing, potentially work with Arcade Fire, whom Murphy has previously said he would have liked to produce if not for what he now describes to Pitchfork as a "soul-crushing master plan" of tour, record album, rinse, repeat. Also on Murphy's bucket list: Maybe launch "a store that sells stuff" in Brooklyn.

Super producer.......

[hippityhip]

DFA records kicks ass. James Murphy and Pat Mahoney disco set last year at Hard was probably the most fun I've had in quite some time. Danced my ass off all set long.

just had to re-post this....



this plus the Rapture touring w/ Azari & III really makes me wish I lived in Australia.

[Gribbz]

Only Australia, huh? Bummer. At least Sasquatch added James Murphy.

[Coachella Bound]

Coachella really dropped the ball this year.... it would be different if artists weren't available, but there is so much damn talent out there touring.

Tomorrow Red Bull Studios London will dust of the couch and plump the cushions for the anual Red Bull Music Academy info session. The London lecture is one of many taking place over the globe to give applicants a taste of life inside the Academy, which will take place this autumn in New York.

We couldn’t think of any New Yorker more worthy of a seat on the RBMA couch than LCD Soundsystem front man and DFA Records owner James Murphy. James will join Benji B to talk influences, The Big Apple and how he broke the electronic mould.

Crystal Ark will release their debut album on October 30th.

Originally a collaboration between DFA's Gavin Russom (of Black Meteoric Star among other projects) and singer Viva Ruiz, Crystal Ark is a venture that fuses Russom's trademark analogue beats with latin-influenced arrangements, textures and vocals from Ruiz. They've since become a full band, adding a percussionist, two bassists, two new vocalists and an "electronics expert," all of whom form the backbone of the group's raucous live show. This self-titled LP was recorded with that live show in mind. It features eight new tracks that reinforce the sound of previous Crystal Ark singles with the full-band aesthetic. "We Came To" will be released as the album's first single (with a special dub mix) in September.

Tracklist
01. Ascension
02. We Came To
03. Morir Soñando
04. Crossing
05. Paradise
06. Rhodes
07. Rain
08. Silver Cord

DFA will release The Crystal Ark on October 30th, 2012
