Release Notes:
The DFA (Tim Goldsworthy & James Murphy) return with the first installment of
their remix compendium. Chapter One is comprised of some of the many remixes
that helped establish them as one of the most innovative and unique (and in
demand) production teams in the world. Yes, it has been well documented that
Janet Jackson and Britney and a whole bunch of others called, but the duo have
resolutely resisted and cherry picked their productions, mixes and
collaborations helping retain their relevance, influence and dominance in the
ever changing world of contemporary music. Death From Above have been labeled
'The New Neptunes' but there's much more to it than that, and here is the
musical proof. In Chapter One you can witness the DFA sound with fine aplomb,
with their highly sought after interpolations of Le Tigre, Blues Explosion, The
Chemical Brothers, Soulwax, Radio 4, Fischerspooner, Gorillaz, Metro Area and
their recent remix of US label mates Hot Chip - many of which are out of print
or unavailable at all on vinyl or CD.
