Music / IncomingDFA Recommends...We learn about the best labels, acts and breakfast cereals from cult label DFA's Gavin Russom, Shit Robot and Ray MangShareLink copied ✔️March 10, 2010MusicIncomingTextDazed DigitalDFA Recommends... James Murphy, Tim Goldsworthy and Jonathan Galkin's DFA Records needs no introduction. From The Juan Maclean to LCD Soundsystem and YACHT, they have released the biggest names in disco-flavoured dance since the early noughties. Dazed Digital speak to the three beardy men Black Meteoric Star / Crystal Ark's Gavin Russom, Shit Robot and Ray Mang who is set to release his single 'Bullet Proof' on DFA amongst their other newcomers like Michoacan and electro-tastic Black Van. His dancier, disco-centric piece, 'Bullet Proof' is an acid-tinged retro number whilst B-side 'Look Into My Eyes' is as the name suggests more romantically languid with a catchy melody in tow. Whilst Gavin Russom of The Crystal Ark's new track 'The City Never Sleeps' is out this March, and Shit Robot having had huge success with the record 'Wrong Galaxy' has just released his new single 'I Got A Feeling' with charmingly named B-side 'Norfolk Nights'.Gavin Russom:Dazed Digital: Can you recommend... ...three new acts?Gavin Russom: Blondes, Midnight Magic, Los MassierasDD: ...a label?Gavin Russom: Nation... something for breakfast?Gavin Russom: Bircher MuesliShit Robot:DD: ...something on YouTube?Shit Robot: Dan Deacon & Liam Lynch - Drinking Out of CupsDD: ... a song everyone should hear?Shit Robot: Elvis Costello – Beyond Belief.DD: ... an artist?Shit Robot: Levon VincentRay Mang:DD: ...three old musicians/acts?Ray Mang: Klaus Weiss – amazing drummer, musician and producer!
