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.

Greek songwriter, singer, performer, and producer Larry Gus was born in Veria, Greece. He began writing music under the name Larry Gus in 2006 after his previous band Ginger disbanded. In 2010, he left his engineering studies in Barcelona to pursue his dream of being a musician and returned to Veria.
The pseudonym Larry Gus is a play on words: Larygas translates to Λάρυγγας which means Larynx in Greek.
Similar artists to Larry Gus include Baby Guru, Stereo Nova, K. BHTA, The Boy, Lena Platonos, Nalyssa Green, Melentini, The Callas, λάμδα /Lamda, LogOut,

Larry Gus releases a 7-inch single alongside his new album, which features two A-sides, Kerkis (Judas-Tree) and Foreign Steps, from the same recording sessions as Subservient. The lyrics to Kerkis (Judas-Tree) were written by Efthimis Filippou, an award-winning screenwriter known for his work with director Yorgos Lanthimos on films like Dogtooth, The Lobster, and The Killing of a Sacred Deer.

Larry Gus (real name Panagiotis Melidis) returns to DFA with Subservient, his fourth release for the label. More pop-oriented than his previous albums, Subservient is a lush combination of “crisis funk pop and trad Mediterranean grooves.” Lyrics sung in Greek and English address Larry’s overwhelming struggles with being a father, husband, artist, and human in 2019.
