Death From Abroad presents Supersoul Recordings: Nobody Knows Anything
(Death From Abroad/DFA) 2CD
The DFA — James Murphy (of LCD Soundsystem) & Tim Goldsworthy (Cut Copy, Rapture producer) — have done much to bridge the seemingly unconnected edges of dance culture’s past, present & future. At a time when over-produced, excessively loud & brash electro productions are dominating the feet & minds of hipster dancefloors, The DFA continue to plug away, dragging the classic sensibilities, stylings & sonic pallets of disco, funk, house & techno into the fray with every release. (If you haven’t checked out Hercules & Love Affair already, PLEASE, do yourself a favour.)
With Nobody Knows Anything, The DFA’s Death From Abroad offshoot have partnered with Berlin’s Supersoul Recordings to bring a SLEW of new names, sounds & possibilities to dancefloor adventuring. Supersoul Recordings’ roster focuses on “the cornerstones of electronic dance music: Krautrock, Italo Disco, Electro, Chicago House & Detroit Techno.” And compared to much of the French & Australian blog-racket that has filled dancefloors over the last couple of years, these tracks sound truly refreshing, almost to the point of alien.
