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.

autofacs gonna be a new one to you, but the names behind it—juan maclean and marcus lambkin, a.k.a. shit robot—most certainly are not. the dfa house, disco, and techno veterans have long been friends, sharing bills around the world, vocalists on records, engineers on mixing boards. for a while now, they ve also been collaborating in the studio, and it s with tremendous honor that we get to be the label that presents the world with the fruits of their labors. souls on ice is a snarled, fierce, aggressive four-tracker, all of it recorded live, which gives it a distinct loopiness and patience. the ep starts off on a bumpin techno tip and slowly drifts towards a spacier, groovier house sound. charged and punchy, its the kind of dance floor kick in the pants only wizards like juan and marcus can deliver. key selling points. debut release by autofac, a production duo comprised of dfa veterans juan maclean and shit robot. full international press and dj promo campaign.

that juan maclean is just a bundle of contradictions. here hes created one of the years best mix cds and not just a proper party mix, which it certainly is, but even what you might call an >important< mix, a timely lesson in the enduring spirit of house musicÑand how does he choose to describe the process of putting it together? as an >existential tailspin<!
