The Juan Maclean

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Prior to becoming one of the most significant acts on the DFA label, John Maclean was a member of Sub Pop band Six Finger Satellite. Initially, Six Finger Satellite fit in with the remainder of the Sub Pop roster, but after one EP, they took a sharp turn into herky-jerky post-punk that was inspired by Devo, Big Black, and Suicide instead of Black Sabbath, the Stooges, and Led Zeppelin. By the time they went to record their final album, 1998's Law of Ruins, Krautrock began to play a major role, and so did James Murphy, who produced, ...[more]

 

 

VINYL FORMAT. Juan, formerly of SIX FINGER SATELLITE, gives us the catchiest new electro-single to drop in a long time. This song has a bounce and funk that's rare in this scene; and only a remix from Beastie Boy Adam Horovitz could outdo it in rhythm. Adrock gives it a slap bass electro-reworking with robo voices and a timely early eighties thump. "TG-3X" is deep-techno that climaxes to something both terrifying and beautiful, like classic Detroit, minimal and emotional. A1. By The Time I Ge   [ read more ]

It's been a bit of a sore spot., laughs Juan Maclean, "sitting on this album and seeing this robot stuff pop up all over the place. I have serious robot credentials that go back years and years. Like, a decade! But Daft Punk beat me to the punch." He may be joking, but the man's right. If anyone's earned the right to call their debut album Less Than Human and imagine a love triangle consisting of a man, a woman and the man's gay robot friend (as in 'Shining Skinned Friend'), it's Maclean.

VINYL FORMAT. "The DFA's veteran shortstop gets his latest single remixed by German producer (and Groove Attack main man) Marcus Worgull. Worgull takes his time building up this haunting and hypnotic layered synth concoction, and when the vocals from LCD Soundsystem first lady Nancy Whang finally hit, it's lights out. Recommended." -Van Hammersly

VINYL FORMAT. After three seminal electro-dance singles, we see yet another angle of Juan MacLean on this latest release, titled perhaps a humble nod to our Teutonic electronic godfathers. "I Robot" takes a subby acid-tinged Trans-European trip down the Autobahn (or maybe some crappy Midwestern freeway). Frantic synth lines weave from lane to lane, and analog bleeps remind that the Polizia aren't far behind. As the song reaches its midpoint, the drums slow, a choral sample rises, and utter paranoia blindsid   [ read more ]

In 2008, Maclean moves further away from his 'Robot Phase' into a universe slightly more optimistic and relaxed in spirit. 'Happy House' is the first evidence of this new direction-- a winning combination of Nancy Whang's effervescent vocals, DFA's production and mixing work, and a brilliant and relentless dance pop anthem co-written by Whang and Maclean.
