Death From Above (DFA) is a punk funk record label founded by James Murphy, Tim Goldsworthy, and Jonathan Galkin. The label's name was inspired by Murphy's nickname for his punishing tour PA set up while working as the live sound engineer for [a472959]. Since its establishment, DFA has become synonymous with innovative and boundary-pushing music.

DFA was born out of a passion for merging punk and funk genres, resulting in a unique sound that captivates listeners. With an impressive roster of talented artists, including LCD Soundsystem and many others, the label continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in music.

Known for their authoritative presence in the industry, DFA remains at the forefront of discovering new talent and releasing groundbreaking albums. Their commitment to quality and creativity has solidified their reputation as one of the most influential labels in contemporary music.

Eric Copeland is an experimental musician based in New York. He is a core member of Black Dice and forms half of the duo Terrestrial Tones with Animal Collective's Avey Tare.
With his unique sound, Copeland has established himself as a prominent figure in the experimental music scene. His work pushes boundaries and challenges traditional notions of music, creating a captivating and immersive experience for listeners.
Influenced by artists such as Excepter, Lucky Dragons, Gang Gang Dance, and Prince Rama, Copeland's music combines elements of noise, electronic beats, and abstract melodies. His collaborations with Avey Tare in Terrestrial Tones have resulted in critically acclaimed albums that showcase their innovative approach to music-making.

On the Mixbone EP, two tracks from Eric Copeland’s 2017 record Goofballs get reworked by five of leftfield electronic music’s heaviest hitters. The Goofballs LP finds the Black Dice founding member conducting hectic, dancefloor-oriented experiments; The Vinyl Factory called it a “mangled, spangled journey into the fringes of industrial disco and hallucinatory club tackle.” Mixbone capitalizes on this direction with remixes that recontextualize and reshape the propulsive energy of the original songs into wholly different forms. New York techno powerhouse and Allergy Season boss Physical Therapy contributes two aptly named takes on Mixer Shredder – the “Tegel Mix” churns with industrial EBM low-end, and the breakbeat and wubby bassline make the Gatwick Mix unmistakably English. NHK yx Koyxen remixes Eric for the second time, with a jittery and woozy electro interpretation of Neckbone. Cooper Saver, best known for his Far Away parties in Los Angeles, turns in one of the most unexpected remixes, keeping it 4/4 and creating what sounds like Shep Pettibone making acid house. Coming off of her 2017 EP on Technicolour / Ninja Tune, Machine Woman decided to remix both tracks. With Neckbone, she adds a barely-discernible robotic narrative vocal, allegedly about Ryan Gosling. Mixer Shredder, on the other hand, travels from hissy lo-fi techno into something quite tranquil and beautiful. And with previous releases on 1080p, Freakout Cult, and Wania, Vancouver’s LNS channels the melodic electro tones of classic Bleep-era Warp, like a lost track from LFO or Drexciya. Danceable might not be the first word one thinks of when describing Eric Copeland’s solo releases. But in a manner not dissimilar to the way Black Dice shaped the parameters of experimental music, the remixes here expand the limits of what the club can and should look like. <a></a>credits
