Give Me Every Little Remix

Imagine you had a boutique label and one grillion dollars to spend as you wished, hiring the best remixers on a whim -- Francois Kevorkian, Luomo, Yamatsuka Eye, Lindstrom; hell, I got a field recording of the Meatpacking District at 1 AM, let's get Larry Heard on the phone.

Came across quite a bit of shit talk about Mr. Maclean's opener role at the Webster Hall this past June, I don't know, I didn't go. He did kill it though a while back at the now defunct Volume with his drummer from Turing Machine laying down the house beats and Tim Goldsworthy working the theremin like a drunk Helen Keller. Actually, before the set even began he won me over screaming at the nonplussed crowd, "Get in here, you hipster artfags!".

**Get it at Phonica**

Now see, "Give Me Every Little Thing" is a stomper. Always has been, and to make sure you don't forget they got Cajmere to rework GMELT. A while ago I wrote about a boring ass job I had to endure where our only light moments came while pretending to roller skate dive to the breakdown on Kraftwerk's "Numbers". Another group favorite on my coworker's mixtape was Cajmere's "Percolator". Nice to see that almost ten years later Caj has lost nothing and keeps his source material a stomper, just in a completely different direction.

As far as
Delia Gonzalez & Gavin Russom go, well, I don't buy the whole Moroder meets Krautrock publicity copy. It's more like Tony Conrad via a dogeared Casio instruction manual missing a few pages. And that is something to behold.

**This comes from a compilation regarding a show at Andrew Kreps quite a while back**

Knowing that both The Juan Maclean and Delia & Gavin are playing the CMJ fest together, I take a break from writing this and check the Northsix website. Just found out tickets for the DFA showcase are going on sale in 45 minutes. Test your luck here.
