I was actually a bit disappointed to see that DFA Records, whose braintrust have had the best ears for dance music talent this decade, had signed Portland jokesters YACHT. In his work with the Blow, Jona Bechtolt managed to craft a few winning minimal tracks, but without Khaela Maricich's naive vocals on top of them, his YACHT work struck me as simultaneously thin and smugly self-satisfied. The blatant...

The electro wizardry of YACHT has found a home at DFA Records, and its first release on the label is, somewhat appropriately, "Summer Song," which is a booty-shaking love letter to the label's flagship band, LCD Soundsystem . The attached video is pretty enjoyable, too, but then again, I can always appreciate a clip that can combine the meta-tastic "making of the making of the video" plotline with...

Hercules' Theme Blind (Hercules Club Mix) Regular readers of my blog will already know that I love Hercules & Love Affair, the latest hipsters signed to the always good DFA Records. When their album came out earlier this spring I did a piece on it where I gushed over my love for it. OK. maybe I didn't gush, but I do love it. Produced by DFA main man Tim Goldsworthy, I wrote "it is a disco stunner

You know that friend of yours who is always raving about Chromeo, Hot Chip, Justice, and the entire DFA Records roster? The same kid that cried when Death From Above 1979 broke up in 2006? Well, back in 2001, they were putting The Faint on all of their dance party mixes instead. Now, four years after The Faint's last album Wet From Birth was released, the little Omaha dance band that could is back...

Oh wow. I'm having trouble forming a sentence which can accurately describe how damn much I love this tune. It's my favourite track of the year so far and will take some shifting. It's the new Juan Maclean single, featuring Nancy Whang from LCD Soundsystem, and it's the best Goddammed house joint I've heard in years. It's out now on DFA Records, so if you want at least one track to get the girls shaking...
