If you’re in the U.S., a really long weekend looms ahead. I’m not sure of the origins of labor day, other than it probably has something to do with Upton Sinclair, and I’m on that number glass of wine that turns wikipedia from an amusing time-waster to a daunting prospect, and so, frankly, I’m not looking the f-ing holiday up. That said, it seems pretty universal that dancin’ and romancin’ match with the weekend, that platonic ideal of not wanting to work, prefering instead to bang on the cowbell all day and all of the night. It is then, and only then, that there’s one set of hairy-bellied beer-smellin’ superdudes who can swoop in (to your unlocked abode) and rescue you from a cowbell emergency: the guys of the DFA. The abroad-imprint of Death From Above (literally, Death From Abroad) recently released a compilation of the awesome-and-unknown (probably because there’s been no Allien/Mayer fist-bump) Berlin-based Supersoul Recordings label’s output, called Nobody Knows Anything and you need this for your disco-dancin’ weekend.
Plastique De Reve ft Radical Cheerleaders: Resist
This is an absolute rave-in-a-freakin’-bottle. Cowbells eventually die their needed fucking death, and what’s left is a hard-house bass, some chanting and a KICK YOUR ASS backbeat with some synthetic pads that want to kill your parents.
You. Me? Dancing.
