Various Artists - Dfa Remixes-Chapter One

The DFA (Tim Goldsworthy & James Murphy) return with the first installment of their remix compendium. It 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.
