Label GB

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.

Eric Copeland delivers Trogg Modal Vol. 2, the counterpart to last October’s Vol. 1. The former Black Dice member’s Freakbeat 4/4 agenda gets further refined here – Vol. 2 is more laid-back than the first, but still highly danceable. Self-described as “late Night Flight proto tekno,” the tracks pulse with thick layers of percussion, melodic fever dreams, and riffs wrung through a taffy puller. Eric’s textured, off-the-cuff approach to dance music adds a refreshing element of spontaneity and ‘jamming’ to a climate of uncanny smoothness and polish.

Where Vol. 1 was composed of “rippers,” Vol. 2 travels at its own pace, continuing to showcase Eric’s ability to recontextualize 4/4 tracks as psychedelic contortions, from the squelchy vibrations of BS Dropout to the blithe, video arcade soundtrack High Score Zed. Taken together, the two volumes of Trogg Modal showcase the versatility of one of the most continuously exciting experimental artists of the past twenty years – arriving in 2019 with his mischievous sense of adventure firmly intact.
