James Murphy & Pat Mahoney Fabric Live #36 (DFA) CD
Fabric format: CD lab price: $18.00 available: yes item #: cd-2564	DFA honcho James Murphy and fellow LCD-collaborator Patrick Mahoney team up for this sprawling 24 track mix. If you want to gauge the hotness of this release, just know that it sold out straight out the box at our LA store. Yes,... expand review it's rare we get to see the gears behind one of the most influential underground bands, and the selection definitely does not disappoint. It relies heavily on the current NYC slow-disco sound tapping on releases from Environ, Rong, Balihu, DFA, and numerous white labels. The selection also includes many under the table classics from Donald Byrd, Love Of Life Orchestra, Chic, Was (Not Was), Lenny Williams, and others. Packaged in the usual Fabric metal case. -the mgmnt

Metro Area #7 12"
Environ format: 12" lab price: $8.00 available: yes item #: dm-2513	quick audio picks: 1 2 3 It's been about 2 year since the last Metro Area release (can you believe it's been that long?), but their latest 12" is finally here. The indelible duo of Morgan Geist and Dershan Jesrani were hugely responsible for sparking the disco-italo revival... expand review in the dance music scene back in '99 (and we all know who big disco has grown since then) and are back to bring you 3 new tracks sporting their signature new disco sound. One whole side of vinyl is dedicated to "Erodyne(1)" - a classy hybrid of disco, italo, and boogie that will instantly tickle your ear with tingly arpeggiated synths, warm bass, lush strings all of which sit perfectly over tight snappy drums. A classic Metro Area sound for sure. "Read My Mind(2)" is the first true vocal track by the duo featuring Philip Owusu (of Owusu & Hannibal) on vocal duties all over a super catchy italo groove. The song really works (hope to see more vocal collabs in the future), but if instrumental is your thing, there's also the "RMM Dub(3)." Excellent stuff. Definitely Recommended. -snackmaster

Bonde do Role With Lasers LP w/ FREE Office Boy Remix 7"
Domino / Mad Decent format: LP lab price: $14.00 available: yes item #: lp-3239	quick audio picks: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 LAB EXCLUSIVO! While supplies last, all orders will receive a promo-only 7" of Bonde Do Role's new single, "Office Boy," featuring remixes from CSS and Architecture In Helsinki! FINALLY ON VINYL! To say that Bonde Do Role's debut has been "long-awaited" would be... expand review a huge understatement. It's been 2 years since we dropped their first EP on Mad Decent and the kids are all grown up now, migrated over to Domino and swapped out message board love for NME praise. The band probably recorded 40 demos for this album, but the final product is a streamlined beast with just 12 tracks, clocking in at 30 minutes. Really, when's the last time you heard an album where every track could be a single? The Diplo-produced "Solta O Frango(1)" and "Gasolina(2)" are here, and so's the new single, "Office Boy(3)" (stupid fun - "buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-boy"). But what you know about "Quero Te Amar(4)," with the heavy vocoder action and throwback Miami bass beat from the Lab's own Eggfooyoung? Or the evil metal opener/closer combo, "Danca do Zumbi(5)" and "Bondallica(6)," with Chernobyl from Comunidade Nin-Jitsu SHREDDING on those finger-tapping guitar solos? London production duo Radioclit even turn in a couple tracks: the kazoo-driven "Geremia(7)" and chopped-up electro-baile "Divine Gosa(8)." All this is to say nothing of the amazingly fun vocals that Marina, Pedro and Gorky provide. I read an article this morning comparing them to Brazil's Tropicalia artists of the 60s/70s, and while I don't know if that's totally on point (Marina would Manic Panic her hair before she put flowers in it), there's something important going on behind all this silliness. Do I even have to say... Recommended. -Chris Lemon-Red

CSS Alala (Bonde do Role Remix) 12"
Sub Pop format: 12" lab price: $7.00 available: yes item #: lp-2949	quick audio picks: 1 2 3 Straight up: this is the best track from CSS' album and I'm really happy to see it getting a proper single release. Their first single was nice and dancey and all, but this is the realness! CSS are no joke and "Alala(1)"... expand review shows their harder side, perfectly contrasting the shimmery disco guitar and synths from "Let's Make Love" with buzzsaw guitars and a thick-as-fuck beat. I can't get enough of that little noise in the chorus – sounds like the girl from The Grudge! Maybe I'm a bit biased, but Bonde do Role's remix(2) basically rips shit up. Gorky and Pedro throw some baile drums under the dark, spooky keyboard sound from the original track and then proceed to chop the hell out of Lovefoxxx's vocals ("b-b-b-b-bitches!") while fading effects in and out of the mix. Awesome shit, and infinitely more mixable than the original version. Princess Superstar contributes a remix(3) as well, and the girls are kind enough to tack the acapella on the end for you lunkheads. -Chris Lemon-Red
