    YACHT – Le Goudron

    14 May 2012, 7:52 pm

     

    Here’s something to feast your eyes on! A chic new single and video from YACHT, shot in the dank laser cave that is LA’s The Smell venue. Here we find YACHT paying homage to the iconic avant-garde genius Brigitte Fontaine by means of their take on her song Le Goudron, originally recorded in 1969 with The Art Ensemble of Chicago. And for the first time we get the pleasure of hearing Claire sing in her native French tongue. There’s also a cover of The Velvet Underground’s “I’ll Be Your Mirror” and a slew of remixes to boot! You can own the EP now.

    7 May 2012, 4:59 pm

    This is where we make a silly pun about this mix making you feel like a child, or something. Anyway. After an extended absence, DFA Radiomixes return with a lovely mix by Jee Day. Download it for free from the player above. Jee Day has also recently made a return to DFA with his killer new 12″, Aura Go. Give it a stream below and purchase the vinyl from our fine DFA Shop.

    Shit Robot – Space Race

    25 Apr 2012, 8:19 pm

    Check out this appropriately shitty sampler of the new Shit Robot 12″ Teenage Bass B/W Space Race. The aptly titled B-side Space Race is the perfect jam to put on your headphones, close your eyes and imagine yourself hurdling through a George Lucas-esque pod racing scene. Except, like, 1000x more exciting. Preorder the limited edition vinyl here.

    I Want You

    3 Apr 2012, 4:48 pm

    Comprised of Suzi Horn and Tobin Prinz, U.K. postpunk duo Prinzhorn Dance School makes use of edgy drums and clamoring vocals to create their famously minimal aesthetic. On I Want You we find the duo in their most bare bones element. A stark, black-and-white video accompanies the single. You can buy the full-length vinyl direct from our store and own the digital here.

Gabriel Remixes Part Deux

3 Apr 2012, 4:48 pm

Gabriel is the chilling new single from Joe Goddard (The 2 Bears/Hot Chip). Complete with disco backbone and eerily pitch-perfect vocals, this track has been a smash on the dance floor at home and abroad. Now we are pleased to bring you Gabriel: The Remix Part Deux! And if you’re familiar with Soulwax (we know you are), you’ll find some of their always-heavy-hitting work here, alongside remixes from Calibre, and The Aston Shuffle, which are pretty much some of the best things we’ve ever heard. Buy the physical record here and the digital here.
