So...I'm no Whoxton Whore, but I absolutely love these guys' shit.
Anybody else into them or any other DFA stuff?
You must have heard 'Losing My Edge' and if not, why not? and make sure you get hold of a copy because it's the best track of last year bar none. The most original thing I've heard since, ooh, Da Funk!
Amazing production, starts out like a little electro-y number, tinny drums and little snyth bass with a voiceover about 'cool' music etc. and some guy lamenting the fact that he is 'losing (his) edge0 before the 'BUT I WAS THERE!' and then it kicks off massively into some awesome drums and bastard bass. Ok, old ground, but...
anybody heard the new single 'Yeah'? Another superb track, try the stupid mix, it's the best. Agin, awesome drums as it just builds and builds into a killer synth line twisting and going off in parts of your head that most music doesn't reach these days.
also, i'm in love with The Juan Maclean, I can heartily recommend 'By The Time I get To Venus' dead funky electro, pure dancefloor action but with such quality production and detail that you can listen to it over and over and not get bored.
Please don't make me feel like a style wanker and admit that you love them too, even though they are too cool for any school you could name.
