DFA = Disco’s Fucking Awesome
September 15, 2008 | Filed Under day to day | 3 Comments
Laid back disco is what I’ve been feeling lately. One larger label who probably reps disco the hardest these days is DFA.
I’ve been following a seasonal mixtape series that DFA’s been putting out since ‘05 and they’ve never failed to satisfy.
This one’s Spring 2008, mixed by Justin Miller (for those of you who are wondering, please do not mistake with another j. miller douchebag) and Jacques Renault -the latter of which who brings funk to the EXTREME. (more on him in a sec).
Sit back, lay back: DFA RADIO MIX SPRING 2008 (right click, save as)
Onto Jacques Renault –FUNK OUT OF CONTROL!! I can’t quantitate the level of funk in this track, but it makes me want to do gangster shit. I’d never heard of Jacques before this track, so has anyone got the dirty on this fool? Is this track a fluke? is he legit?
also, don’t forget, re-add my twitter acct. for a sexy time.

bb update: just got out of a final to find another 20 messages on my bb. The mailing list is going strong!
The most astounding/interesting/perplexing thing happened this morning. Things went as usual. I woke up, brushed my teeth, fried an egg, burned the toast, then sat down for some quality 1 on 1 with apple mail. (yep, no shower, this is what future-scientists do)
Everything was going well and as usual: club promo, invites, mp3s, blah blah, label promoters being dicks, you know –the usual. ANYWAY…. I come to an email from Peter from the Outlaws. It’s got a mixtape, alright, sweet so I start downloading it. While that is going, I go to my next message.
I do a double take. someone pressed…..
REPLY TO ALL
and then… I saw it again… then again. The same title, but with more Re:’s attached and from different senders! By this point I could feel the excitement mounting in my happy little fingers. It had suddenly warped to 1982 and everyone reverted to using one of the earliest renditions of social networking known as ‘mailing lists’.
all those colored lines represent every time someone replied to all and re-quoted the whole message. there were at least 70 recipients on that list.
I think I just heard a little rip in the time/space continuum due to this.
The shirts are coming.
So thanks, Outlaws, for taking the incestuous blogosphere back to its roots. Get the mixtape that started this monstrosity here
long live the meme
I love you all.
Oh, I’m gonna throw down a list of tracks right here that came to the inbox the that a stood out. You know I’m not usually a fan of ‘mass track posts’, actually I don’t like that at all. But in the interest of time I’m gonna do it. Final examinations again. You know how that goes. All of these tracks are out of control, you must listen.
RIGHT CLICK THESE, SAVE AS.
