The Juan Maclean Return to DFA with Compilation LP of 12″ Singles
'The Brighter The Light' LP lands on September 20.
Brooklyn duo The Juan Maclean will return to DFA with The Brighter The Light, a compilation LP of 12″ singles they’ve amassed over the past six years—re-edited, re-mastered, and ready for those who may have missed the tracks the first time around.
The nine-track album focuses on singles from the past six years, from the dub house sway of 2013’s “You Are My Destiny” to the high-energy stomp of this May’s “Zone Non Linear,” and it features two never-before-released tracks, “Quiet Magician” and “Pressure Danger.” Deep house rhythms, sparkling synths, and a certain spaciousness are emphasized in place of the motion melancholy disco of recent full-lengths.
Juan Maclean is a DJ-producer and a mainstay of the New York club scene. Vocalist Nancy Whang is his longtime collaborator, best known as a founding member of LCD Soundsystem and a busy touring DJ. Together, the two artists have released an extensive catalogue of 12” singles and full-length albums for DFA. The proper follow-up studio album will follow in 2020.
