Greetings Groovers,
People that write off DFA as being another indie dance/ electro label need to take a much closer listen. The thing that makes this label so unique is that the music goes beyond the confines of what is supposed to be house/techno. In other words there's something for everyone on this label. We are also excited to inform y'all they they have decided to launch a new label dedicated to releasing tunes from their friends from overseas. The label is aptly called "Death From Abroad" and we have the first 3 releases available for your consumption. Check the "features" on this newsletter for more details.
In addition the their new label they have 2 new releases on their DFA label. The first one, "Still Going" is a retro house groover by Eric Duncan (Rub n Tug) & Oliver Spencer (How & Why, Mr Negative, Manthrax) and is getting heavy plays from James Murphy & Force Of Nature. FON licensed it for a forthcoming mix CD for Mule Musiq.
The second release is from New Zealand's indie rock outfit, The Shocking Pinks. I'm not sure what the original track sounds like seeing as this release has 2 Glimmers mixes and nothing else. But let me tell you, the Glimmers "Twelve Inches And A Bit More" remix is the business. Reminds me of an updated version of Liquid Liquid's "Bell Head".
Lot's of other solid goods this week. Here's a short list of some of my favorites - call it a top 5 if you will.
1) 40 THIEVES - BUZZ CITY2) TOBY TOBIAS - STEEL BELLS
3) FLORIAN KRUSE - THOUGHTS
4) BLACK MUSTANG - BLACKOUT REMIXES *KERRIER DISTRICT*
5) SCOTTY COATS & WES THE MES - DOUBLE FISTED *very limited!!!*
Kind Regards,
Spasticus
