dfa is pleased to announce a split 12inch single featuring remixes of shit robot by paul woolford and juan maclean by leon vynehall. extremely limited, so move quickly.

3 rough, rugged, and raw tunes in which the waveforms are stopping eardrums and woofers, meanwhile experimenting but still staying true to the chicago ethos. man, you just got hit with some guerilla shit!

pheaky experimental disco, vinyl only. 300 copies for the world

dfa is proud to announce a new split single featuring both the juan maclean and shit robot. the single highlights the warped and wonky piano house both acts have become famous for. the juan maclean track features long time vocalist nancy whang (also of lcd soundsystem), who helps deliver yet another wildly catchy dance floor anthem, in line with prior collaborative successes “happy house” and “you are my destiny.” shit robot brings in famed stand up comedian (and closet soul vocalist) reggie watts whose incredible voice glides from falsetto to baritone in a single verse. the combination of the deep bass lines, wild voice and piano stabs weaving in and out make this one of the strongest and unique singles in the shit robot catalog. both shit robot & the juan maclean have full length albums due in 2014 on dfa records. limited to 500 stamped and numbered copies, includes digital download code.

the 2nd release on deep shit - the label curated by edwin congreave from foals and jack savidge from friendly fires - is the debut ep from durrr resident kiwi, aka alex warren.

deep shit is brought to you by jack savidge of friendly fires and edwin congreave of foals. deep shit is the newly founded dj collective, promotor and vinyl only record label based in the capital with a celebrity status. the label was founded by indie superstars jack savage of friendly fires and edwin congreave of foals as well as adam parylak. managing to work a glitzy electro pop into their day jobs in the underbelly the trio have a fancy for the deep sounds of future bass music. the debut release from the deep shit label came last year from congreave with the afterhours moody house monster heal, including remix by a1 bassline.

eargasmic brings this stunning split 12 inch with real raw house! on the a-side chicago skyway brings two heart pounding tracks with i dont give a f*ck and run coward. the flipside introduces isoke to the game with the relief sounding, chicago rough sh*t and the heady bass heavy joint haunted.

the hi-nrg history of luke jenners hometown san francisco is freshly revived for shit robots cheekily-titled feels real, on which jenner plays the slinky sylvester to marcus lambkins patrick cowley wizardry

third sides infamous *shit on me*, taken from their first full-length release, *unified fields* is given a four-pronged remix ante up by some of technos more illustrious figures. virginia is back on duty with a fierce and hypnotic twist of jagged percussion and echoing sample blends, transforming the original into an obscure and minimalistic techno voyage, whereas morphosis injects his peerless swamp of sonic oddity under his ra.h moniker – reducing the original into a truly experimental six minutes of chilling effects, echoing percussion and irregular drum bursts…a true hardware show. on the flipside, marco shuttle tears up the beat into a twisting, bass-morphing machine stomp, replacing the originals drums and hi-hats with a mesmerizing cascade of sharp vocals and flickering note-repeats. finally, the elusive techno excursionists, xenogears give the original an ominous industrial edge, where harsh drum machine distortions meet long, dreary pads and cavernous vocal shots of the finest analogue calibre. techno restoration is back with a vengeance.

>bored of shit< is the first release from new label k!ssa records. it follows dollskabeats debut >zodiac rising / no breaks no sleep< ep, which grabbed the attention of the music press, radio 1 and 6 music back in 2009. an electronic punk sneer and light-hearted grump at the state of modern popular culture, >bored of shit< is perhaps not what people might have expected as a follow up from dollskabeat but either way, it is a sure fire dance-floor filler. the ep also features an exquisite remix from vakula who described the track as impossible not to dance to and guest bass playing from firecrackers fudge fingas. keep your ears peeled for future dollskabeat release >so long for a small storm< - a mould-breaking piece of electronic music that will pick up where she left off. pressed on 180g vinyl and mastered by matt colton at air studios.

hot release by neil landstrumm & mat consume, who did a first shit & cheap release on scandinavia in 2001, and 2012 seems a good year to tear it down with a totally unexpected raw & raving electro banger for the dutch shipwrec label. inspired by 60s surf & garage and later punk & wave, the drum machines are set to give us the essential kicks, claps and hihats we need for that oldschool electro vibe. the trashmens surfin bird gets a remake dipped in acid and with shadowlands pre-dubstep skills take control, but nevertheless, all tracks have those wobly basslines typical to landstrumm’s music combined with unique vocals that make this release something special and definitely standing out! this release comes in a sick designed three colour silkscreen printed sleeve, limited to 300 copies including a download code to redeam the digital tracks from the label

persnickety sounds is here to funk-ti-fy your world! in this era of nü-disco, space disco, cosmic disco, disco house and shit, there must be a beacon of quality to light the way and lead the faithful back to a place where good grooves matter and realness is holding court. let the labels fall and just get it movin.

thats some serious shit ! is a new record label dedicated to old house music and to dancers. following the steps of kerry chandler, mr. fingers, ron trent, masters at work and so on... away from the hype, we want to bring back the spirit of the early 90s when house music was not only music, but a communion of body, soul, freedom and love. we hope to get you with us... in the dance, in the club. now ride on the sound

on >work that shit party<, a fingers inc. style rhythm buttresses a two-note riff, a crackling male voice filtering in from the ether. a pinging keyboard zips around before that two-note flicker expands and contracts, warps and wheedles. but around halfway in, a female vocal refrain of >gonna work it out< breaks fat lacerations into pinholes, blaring keyboards seeping in through the gaps and crevices. then, as with >d117<, it is the congealing of all these disparate elements: a work it out from fischerspooners lizzy yoder sashaying with the two-note riff, the keyboards bouncing off the ceiling, and flaring hi-hats fraying the surface played by pat mahoney (lcd soundsystem). each portion is given its due, only to make the ensuing combination that much more enthralling.

shit robot returns with his first new material since the release of his debut long-player, >from the cradle to the rave<. after spending much of 2010 and 2011 touring the globe with his live show – including a string of dates opening/performing with lcd soundsystem during their final shows in nyc - the rebooted robot is back with >the green machine<. the first result of his stuttgart/new york studio adventures is a double-header of dancefloor jams, >teenage bass b/w >space race<, which is released on vinyl and digital on dfa on may 21 2012. its the first in a series of releases called >the green machine<, which will culminate in an album early next year. lead cut >teenage bass< rides a rude ebm bassline and rave alert sirens, before expanding further with key changing chords and a defining arpeggiator. the hypnotic >space race< is a distant relative of 2007s chasm – a meandering, melodic, star-gazing robo-techno workout

following up on his 2010 madhouse pop gem >someone out there<, aka jk (a.k.a. jonathan kreinik, new york producer extraordinaire and long-time live sound engineer for the rapture) returns to throne of blood with >2600 2600<, the title of which may or may not reference a famous analog synthesizer. an appropriate title, as synthesizers indeed abound from the start, flooding the low-end with disorienting deep analog washes before the utterly-infectious vocal enters and the party kicks off in earnest.

labelhead of italians do it better, mike simonetti, comes up with the 3rd part of his own edit series. hot stuff!

in its original incarnation, shit robots -losing my patience- – a choice cut from 2010s from the cradle to the rave — strikes a balance between iciness and warmth, with hot chip frontman alexis taylors soulful vocals melting the tracks frosty synthlines. now, hot chip and unabombers remix the track and redefine its feel. hot chips new take on the single mystifies the original with deeply cut grooves, squelching bass and taylors heartbreaking, trilling vocals, pushed to lonesome front and center. the whole procession builds to a climax of chiming keys, striking percussion and synth melodies that corkscrew firmly into your head. the uks unabombers – the dj duo of luke cowdrey and justin crawford – take a cosmic approach, laying down synths that stretch toward infinity and holding off on vocals till near the songs midpoint. the dub remix gains traction and energy in its latter stages, with a heady mix of piercing synth squeals and taylors vocalizations set on repeat, like a mantra urging party goers to the dancefloor

head-turning singles >tuff enough< and >take em up< from marcus >shit robot< lambkins fantastic debut, from the cradle to the rave, get reinvented by two of the most talented dj/producers working in electronic music. on the a-side is germanys michael mayers epically inventive take on >tuff enuff<. less muscular than lambkins original, the remix softens things up by placing supple keys under the hardened exterior. the climax is an otherworldly listening experience that literally builds to take off. on the flip, john talabots remix of >take em up< starts like a laidback house party that builds just enough energy when its relocated under disco lights. the haunting opening — a swirling, ghostly blend of elliptical vocals and handclaps — leads to a sonic journey that is as smooth as it is wholly entrancing. this fantastic coupling of tracks is being produced in very short supply, so snap them up quickly!

slamming deep disco / space disco... incl mark e remix

hot k-civ edits of 3 afrobeat/jazz-tracks by fela kuti.

marcus lambkin, aka shit robot, is joined on this excellent debut full length by a list of notable contributors: james murphy co-wrote several tracks and mixed the album, while juan maclean, planningtorock, lcd soundsystems nancy whang, hot chips alexis taylor, house of houses saheer umar and ex-nation of ulysses and the make-ups ian svenonious all contribute vocals and co-writing to >from the cradles…< stellar arc of songs.

>tuff enuff?< sounds just the way an affirmative answer to the titular question should: lean and muscular, with sinewy bass flexing its way straight through. its a song full of robust underpinnings and carefully placed counterbalances: synths that lustrously shimmer and slowly dissipate, keys that sparkle faintly at the quietest moments. the first single on from the cradle to the rave, the debut album from shit robot – aka marcus lambkin, aka >the godfather of dfa< – is a perfectly executed composition in >homage to chicago house, kraftwerk and gay electronic disco.< the b-side features a wild geese remix of >i found love<, another stellar track from lambkins debut. in the capable hands of djs dan foat and frank tope, the laidback original

incl dirt crew remix

aconito records newest acquistion, alessio pili, has joined forces with nax-acid for his debut release: dgt is shit, a provocatory title for an ep dedicated to a world that is slowly losing the inner soul of the cult of vinyl and djing. the two versions differ in their emphasis on the rhythms: driving and smooth in the edit version, harder and more incisive in the original to help preserve the atmospheric flavour.

veto-shirt (100% cotton)

simple things is very much within the spirit of fellow dfa stars hercules & love affair and their hybrid of pop and retro piano house, and the main mix of the track is a right old romp. todd terje is on hand to bring a taste of flamboyant nordic disco to the proceedings.
