one day, baby.



outta respect for johnny walker, paul oakenfold, nicky holloway
and danny rampling, and of course, the packed dancefloors of
the hacienda, here comes the new single from DFA's the juan
mclean, like it's 1989 all over again. 20 years after madchester
ended, the party lives on through the rampling-style chunky
synthetic house beats that backdrop this year's minimalist
version of the human league's don't you want me. two decades
of the intersection of human and machine have created a sparkly,
timeless future where any era can be recreated with precision
and with enough love to fill your empty heart. so it's 2009, and
if you weren't there in 82, or 92, or even 02 (hey this owes as
much to electroclash as disco) come soak in the future of the
juan mclean, whose new album is titled, aptly, The Future Will
Come.

ether09: noise of art



the noise of art collective celebrates the convergence of music and art brought about by the digital age. its latest project Deep Space Disco involves visual artists manipulating soviet-era space films from the 1960s, while fantastically costumed performers roam the floor, all set to space disco grooves by a live stellar international lineup:

the juan mclean (DFA, new york city)
dj t vs. thomas schumacher (get physical, berlin)
chateau flight (innervisions, paris)
ben osborne (noise of art, london)

dj gilb'r will also be playing a live score to the 1911 film les vampires, and orca and budam bring a taste of the new musical revolution coming out of the faroe islands. bizarre, and awesome at the same time, so what more could you really want:
