The Juan Maclean, the veteran DFA-affiliated dance duo of John MacLean and LCD Soundsystem’s Nancy Whang, is barely intermittently lively today; their final album, the compilation LP The Brighter The Light, got here out almost 4 years in the past. Today, although the Juan Maclean is again with a brand new monitor known as “Low Trance State.”
“Low Trance State” is the Juan Maclean’s contribution to a compilation that celebrated tenth anniversary of the Barcelona-based dance label Playground Records. (The comp is named Playground 10 Years Compilation, which isn’t a really artistic title.) The Juan Maclean’s monitor doesn’t function Nancy Whang’s vocals, so John MacLean would possibly’ve recorded it himself, the way in which he did when the mission was beginning out. It’s a six-minute instrumental with a hypnotic however exhausting home beat, and it takes me proper again to these DFA days. Check it out under.
Playground 10 Years Compilation is out 2/24.
