  DFA Records - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
DFA Records is an independent record label that was launched in 2002 by producers Tim Goldsworthy, James Murphy and financed by bubble wrap heir Tyler Brodie.
The label's original name was Death From Above Records, dating from Murphy's DJ nickname he had used since 1993, and a name which was deemed inappropriate for a New York City-based label after the September 11, 2001 attacks.
DFA could be seen as the center of the dance-punk genre.

 DFA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Pitchfork recently claimed that DFA is "more important than almost anything else going on in music right now." Founded by the production duo of James Murphy (Plaintain Records) and Tim Goldsworthy (U.N.K.L.E.) DFA is undeniably THE indie label to watch now.
DFA is just one thing in the house.
I'm pretty sure the good ones who make good songs and continue to be innovative as things progress will last, and the other ones will be fetishized on bootleg compilations years from now when everybody's talking about how cool New York was at the turn of the century blah blah blah.

 Heads Up! - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Heads Up was Toronto duo Death from Above 1979's debut recording, a six song EP released by Vancouver label Ache Records on December 15, 2002.
At the time of the release of this EP, the band was still simply known as Death From Above but following it, DFA Records, issued a cease and desist letter requiring them to change their name.
It was printed deathfromabove.net while it is really.com, and 1979 was added to the address due to the legal dispute with DFA Records.

The original was two and a half minutes long; the DFA remix clocks in at around 11, building in the final three minutes to a frenzied whirlpool of toxic synth zaps.
His first DFA single, "By the Time I Get to Venus," was, he says, his attempt at ripping off Herbie Hancock’s "Rockit." "I was literally sitting and listening to that record trying to copy the drum beat and the bass line.
DFA Records’ most recent batch of singles includes the Juan Maclean’s "I Robot"/"Less Than Human," songs that actually predate "By the Time I Get to Venus." What some have taken as evidence of an icier, electro-ish regression is actually proof of how far he’s come.

 Danceable, funky, avant-garde - Minnesota Daily
The folks at DFA Records have the record-geek cool to resurrect 1970s no-wave band Liquid Liquid (Grand Master Flash sampled it in “White Lines”) and the high-roller hipness to work with R&B superproducers N.E.R.D. DFA Records dabbles in long-winded ambient and loud fuzzy noise tracks, but most prominently, the label produces dance music.
With heavy use of pulsating bass lines, cowbells, spiky guitars and handclaps, DFA Records is creating some of the best rhythm-bulky dance punk, a genre that merges techno beats with 1980s new-wave music.
“DFA Compilation #2” is a great overview of the DFA Records, but, hopefully, the label won’t rely solely on compilations as its only full-lengths and will start putting out full albums, not just singles.

 Style Weekly in Richmond, Virginia
In the past three years, New York dance label DFA has pursued an A&R vision rooted in the post-punk of the late ’70s and early ’80s, a time when bands like Public Image Ltd. integrated danceable rhythms with angular guitar rock.
Everything DFA represents is here, from epic disco (Black Leotard Front’s 15-minute “Casual Friday”), to The Rapture’s Cure-channeling frenzy (“Alabama Sunshine”), to the experimental sounds of Black Dice (the tribal and spacey “Endless Happiness,” as remixed by eYe of Japan’s Boredoms).
Recorded during a 1999 session with two additional tracks culled from previous U.K.-only releases, most of these tunes feature a solo Palmer twanging away with percussive emphasis on five-string banjo and singing in a voice at once stately and worn by age.

 Coolfer: DFA Inks Deal With Astralwerks   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Astralwerks Records has inked a partnership deal with DFA Records.
And it doesn't hurt that DFA is the definition of hip -- they've got more indie cred than they know what to do with.
I think this deal comes from the fact, that DFA did a deal with EMI and since Astralwerks basically puts out international releases that Virgin or Capitol doesn't want, you have the real answer on why DFA is hooked up with Astralwerks and not another label.

 Various Artists: DFA Records Holiday Mix 2005: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
For the sensible types who don't fuck with remixes, the DFA's Holiday Mix 2005 collects, sequences, and beatmatches the better ones that the New York-based label commissioned for three of its primary artists: savant-noise trio the Black Dice, drizzly electro-funker the Juan Maclean, and dancerock flagship act LCD Soundsystem.
After that, we could talk about how four otherwise completely different artists sound at peace with one another on this mix-- about the phantom strand of gattaca that keeps them related (though DNA themselves may not be far off here).
But really, Holiday Mix 2005 has less to do with the DFA, more with one small trend this year in dance music: strung-out, space-feeling disco-house and disco-house remixes, the patient, sometimes aimless explorations that dominated 2005's 10 p.m.-12 a.m.

In pursuit of the answers to these questions, I, in the spirit of pure scientific curiosity, set off to the DFA Records showcase at the finest music venue in all of Brooklyn, New York, and quite possibly the world: Williamsburg's Northsix (full disclosure: I used to work there).
DFA has declined somewhat in the ensuing years, though.
Add to this general critical ambivalence towards this year's Juan Maclean release (it was widely dismissed as falling off the edge DFA had walked in previous releases between fuzzy, guitary dance and straight up house music), and you have an uncertain crowd and importance for this year's showcase.
