The Brighter The Light - The Juan Maclean
The Juan MacLean return to DFA with a compilation LP of 12-inch singles they've amassed over the past six years - re-edited, re- mastered, and ready for fans who may have missed the tracks the first time around. From the dub house sway of 2013's "You Are My Destiny" to the high-energy stomp of this May's "Zone Non Linear," and featuring two never-before-released tracks, "Quiet Magician" and "Pressure Danger," The Juan MacLean once again justify their longevity as a musical force that is more than capable of repurposing club tracks for every setting. The Brighter The Light is put together in a way that lends itself to appreciating the sheer banging quality of the songs while simultaneously being able to dance to them in your living room. For example, take "Feel Like Movin,'" which Pitchfork called "gloriously beatific" and "pure DFA gold." In the new remastered version, the fullness of the keys and the kicks takes over, unfurling across the listener. Deep house rhythms, sparkling synths
