Ellington

From one of the more innovative record labels in the music underground comes this mammoth 3 disc set of incredible goodness. DFA Records specializes in genre-bending artists of the highest order whose sound orbits in and around the dance-punk stratosphere in varying degrees. The first 2 discs feature both vinyl only and CD exclusive tracks by the entire DFA roster: lcd soundsystem, Black Dice, Black Leotard Front, The Juan Maclean, Delia Gonzalez & Gavin Russom, The Rapture, Pixeltan and JOY. The 3rd disc is an outstanding mix from Tim Goldsworthy (of DFA) and NYC DJ Tim Sweeney featuring various dub/edit/remix versions of the aforementioned artists- it is absolute sonic perfection, as is the compilation. It is "2004 best of" worthy!
