Happy House - the Juan Maclean

It is!

awesome.

it is!

WIT YA ON DIS 1

it is, he dropped it in his resident advisor mix(also awesome) like wau. i want to like dude but then i remember that album

love this track....I have high expectations for his upcoming album

when does this actually come out?

ok. not as good as "venus" or "both ways".

This might mean that so far, the (read: my) three best tracks of 2008 thus far are all disco numbers. And a brave new world it is.

It is!

this is not that good

booooooooo

i hated it, it was terrible!

"blind" and "still going" and whatnot at least have some sort of update factor to them, this just sounds like it could be keytronics ensemble or anything else on irma circa 1992

maybe it will grow on me. it took a while for the first juan maclean to grow on me.

Juan always left me colder than a witch's tit (except for GMELT and his live show, which was good enough to stand out as exemplary in my mind despite being the last act I saw before Daft Punk at Coachella), but this is just something else. I'm %10000 fine with zero update factor in light of Nancy's performance and All That Piano.

where is everyone listening to this? myspace

that was a question, not a rhetorical question-and-answer

it starts about 30mins in the Juan Maclean RA mix. not sure where anyone else is getting their fix. i think i saw a virb or imeem page with the song extracted.

on his myspace

it's on his myspace and on the mix he did for resident advisor ... can't get it off RA anymore but a bunch of blogs repost those things

uh xpost

this song is just ok ... I like it but it's def. not a bomb like "Give Me Every Little Thing"

megaupload link shamelessly swiped from dfa/juanmaclean forums for Juan Maclean RA podcast

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7IZDCQSC

In related news, supposedly there's a new <a href="http://www.myspace.com/6fs";>Six Finger Satellite</a> record coming out on Load (Maclean not in the band). It'd be cool to have him do a remix.....

ack

There was a DFA halloween mix that had this in it is where I first heard it.

mp3 in the dfa thread

http://www.dfarecords.com/radiomixes/fall2007.html

It's also on soulseek

this is a fun song

'By The Time I Get To Venus' was so much better though

is this a siouxsie cover?

No, more like what it says on the tin.

the more i hear it, the more i love it. i think nancy is singing on a few songs on the album. i can't wait.

so excellent

What have you been working on recently?

I have been finishing my next album The Future Will Come. Me and James Murphy are just putting the final touches on it now. I am very excited about it, it is an entirely vocal oriented album. Sort of a disco inflected Human League sounding record featuring many duets between me and Nancy Whang, who has sung on Juan MacLean stuff here and there in the past, but is now featured full-on throughout this entire album.

His podcast for resident advisor (happy house is in it) is pretty serious as well, worth listening to if it's yo thing........

the weird thing is that on the podcast there IS an electro cover of Siouxsie's Happy House and then the Juan Maclean song right aftr it

really??

cuz i heard that cover version at a club a month ago and it confused me cuz i'd heard about this supposed JM song

01. Hawkwind - 10 Seconds Of Forever
02. Still Going - On and On
03. Green Velvet presents Jamie Principle - LaLaLaLaLa
04. Cyclops - Where's Jasons K?
05. Phuture - Rise From Your Grave (Tiefschwarz remix)
06. The Juan Maclean - Give Me Every Little Thing (Putcsh 79 remix)
07. Ginger Ale - Happy House
08. The Juan Maclean - Happy House
09. Marcus Worgull feat. Mr. White - Spellbound
10. James Priestley and Dan Berkson - Chariots
11. Simon Baker - Gutterlevel
12. Marc Romboy - Sunburst
13. John Dahlback - Hustle Up
14. Audion - Noiser
15. Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill (Ashley Beedle re-edit)

lol

that new Syclops song on there is really good too

Yeah, DFA has just snuck up on me and really given me a swift kick to the rear in the last like, week and a half of discovering their recent catalogue.

This track is indeed, excellent, so excellent. In fact, I'm now listening to it, sped up by 24%, with old rave tracks on top of it, to hear what it would sounds like as an actually happy house song. The question now is why?

tim sweeney has played this a bunch on beats in space. including running it out of the dubtribe track that it jacks the keyboards from!

Meh - this reminds me of everything I didn like about his first album. I think I'll only ever love GMELT and 'Dance with me'

xpost: which dubtribe track?

nevermind, i found it. september 25th, dubtribe - do it now.

do it now = one of the best house tracks ever. i do like happy house regardless.

Also, Siouxsie fans take note of the title of the song after both Happy Houses.

man the long version of this is good

the dubtribe track or the Juan track?

god I would put a long version of the Juan track on repeat forever (ditto for a long version of the first song off 45:33. DFA could become an all-piano-house, all-the-time label and I would be the happiest person on earth.)

the juan maclean song. i guess it's just the normal version? but on those mixes i hadnt heard the whole 9min or so of it.

oh and total co-sign on the all-piano all-the-time dfa

the only thing I've seen is a nine-minute set rip - I for one am still waiting on pins and needles for a clean copy. when's the album due out again?

i dont think this is a set-rip? http://www.zshare.net/audio/8057684a1760bc/

but am unsure, my friend just fwded it on + it's not the one that i had heard before

juan maclean myspace just says that the album is out sometime in spring/summer :(

THE FUTURE WILL COME - OCTOBER 09

TOO LONG

heard this song at 'the clurb' last night, sounded real good

i dont think this is a set-rip? http://www.zshare.net/audio/8057684a1760bc/

of course it's a set rip!! the pianos that fade out at the beginning are from "still going theme"!!

in fact, i do believe it's ripped from tim sweeney's august 21 2007 beats in space set

i just figured out this was a rip of "do it now", rushed to post, found out at least three people beat me to it. oh well, at least now i know why this song doesn't impress me that much.

The 12" of this is in stores; I saw it at Rough Trade last week.

holy crap at that Dubtribe song. is this some long lost DFA track? those vocals and everything. i've never listened to them because the name makes me think of shitty SF hippy raves. need to do some research.

This is actually on iTunes - $9.99 for the single with 2 mixes?!?!

ya wtf??

that is extortionary pricing but does little to diminish my biblical covetousness for this song.

also what mixes?

Original Version (12:38)
Prince Language Dub (9:14)
Lee Douglas Remix (6:10)

jesus christ, prince language? WANT.

GET.

some of us switched over to the Zune ecosystem around christmastime (tradeoff: we got exclusive Made In The Dark b-sides a few weeks ago).

so Turntablelab had this in stock and so I bought it and I love it and then the baby looked at me

okay, if i search for juan maclean, it lists the EP as being 3.99, and then when I click on it, it still says 9.99. Anybody buy it?

othermusic says they have it for three bucks:

http://digital.othermusic.com/search/full.php?FULL=234886&ALBUM=1

iTunes have changed their price to $3.99 now. Hopefully somebody is getting the message that a single > 10 minute track != $10 worth of music...

just got it from other music. i can't really say it's kicking my ass (especially compared to gmelt, you can't have it both ways, by the time i get to venus etc)... but maybe i just need to hear it out first.

does anybody know what track juan maclean plays at the 3 minute mark in this clip from his set at the PS1 Warmup last summer??

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0NXaLDIrE0

also been looking for an mp3 or tracklist of that set. PS1 posted mp3s of all the other sets that day (tim & tim, invisible conga people, etc) but strangely not juan's...

Nabbed this from itunes. Am I crazy or this balanced way to the left speaker?

not crazy iirc

I was just listening to clips on boomkat: balanced way to the left.

this fucking song

YOU BROUGHT ME HOME TO THIS HAPPY HOUSE YOU'RE THE REASON FOR THE WIND IN MY SAILS STAY WITH ME DON'T LOSE ME NOW SO I CAN THANK YOU FOR BEING SO EXCELLENT SO DAMN EXCELLENT

Really, really great. Streaming at pfork for anyone yet to hear it:
http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/download/49152-the-juan-maclean-happy-house-stream

Having listened to the BiS rip of this about a million times, the last 3 mins of the full version are a nice suprise.

^^^!

this rules

:D :D :D

Both of these remixes are great.

so this is like nu-disco, chicago house and acid stretched over 12 mins with indie chick vocals over the top???

happy house vs blind for pfork indiehipster dance single of the year in 08!!

its just a fun house song dude

says the dude with the juelz santana name (just saying)

nah im actually sitting here listening to it on repeat and really love it...its just funny to me when one song is universally loved by all. this song is like the new thing, you know?

i think my screen name is like the only thing that people really care about so who gives a shit what I say anyway??

indie chick vocals

B52s VOCALS GET IT RIGHT

nah im just saying i wouldn't go around making of fun of ppl who read pitchfork w/ a juelz sn

that's besides the point and it was an easy but lazy jab. plus i was mad bcuz i thought you were hating on this song. i think youre a good poster

where I come from, dipset ≠ pfork, but yeah thanks

this is the internet though, so im now realizing how stupid i must sound (look?)

that lee douglas mix is pretty good!

hollerboard thread re: this song = pure comedy!

do you, or perhaps alex in baltimore, have a link?

i realize there is a good chance that the two people who would appreciate that al in baltimore zing prob wont read this thread.

a lot of knowledge dropped in that thread though...

besides the usual dj-arguing

http://board.low-bee.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=37425&st=0&sk=t&sd=a

deej, I lolled, if it makes you feel better

I can't read about this song anymore...I haven't even heard it out yet and I'm already sick of it even though its a really dope song. Its a strange combination of hype and the fact that I actually like it a lot, I'm confused... I need to hear this record at like 1:30 in the hands of a creative dj...

full version sold me on it, hearing a 3 minute version in a mix I was like "enhh"

im confused....so that vocal isn't i.ndie/h.ipster as shit? like...it doesnt sound like it was lifted from i dont know cat power or something?....i never heard cat powerbut i imagine its something like that. this is real chicago shit?

lol their indie guilt is more awkward than ilx's

DO NOT post anything too obvious that can be purchased at Walmart or 7-11.

someone start a step up 2 soundtrack poll over there

it would be strikingly similar to the one here

Unsurprisingly, the remixes on this are great. I may actually prefer them to the original. Lee Douglas is so far perfect.

xpost Haha.

I wouldn't say that its any kind of epoch marker (especially when it's as indebted to classic house and disco as much as it is), it's just an infectiously catchy, wonderful, and euphoric song, (which is more or less timeless anyways amirite?)

Oh my god, so this song really is the greatest thing ever.

I had been listening to an 8 minute edit all this time (until now, listening to the vinyl) Jeez, I hadn't even heard the 303 part at the end!

weirdly dropped off the face of the Earth to me...couldn't avoid it in March when it came out and haven't heard it in weeks or even heard anyone talk about it...

still brilliant though...looking forward to hearing the album and also more Holy Ghost! (the dude played piano on this)

Both the dudes from Holy Ghost! played on this.

ftr i know his name isn't juan

I wanna hear this on a rooftop terrasse overlooking some anonymous tropical megapolis

these guys were great live last week. it's juan (with a theremin!), nancy, and the two guys from holy ghost! as the rhythm section. they take that synth freakout bit at the end of 'happy house' and run with it hard.

I would like to point out that I have been OTM on this thread.

Underrated: the part where it gets all acid at the end

You are so excellent.

Live features one of the few constructive and non-wank uses of a theremin

Don't tell me you're sorry 'cause you're not. Boy, you know you're only sorry you got caught. But you put on quite a show, really had me going. Now it's time to go. Curtains finally closing.

Hi Space Monkey.

The food and supplies you would have to carry would mean a lot of fuel, but even if you could lift off on a spaceship carrying all that weight and escape earth's orbit, you won't have enough fuel to escape the sun's gravity. Unless you were on a slingshot trajectory around Jupiter. That gravity assist will give you the escape velocity to leave the solar system. With today's technology's limits of chemical propulsion, it would take you several years to get to Jupiter. Hope you brought lots of DVDs with you, and perhaps a significant other. Of course, that would mean twice the food and oxygen supplies. Bottom line is that you couldn't carry enough supplies to survive for years on end. And once you leave the solar system, within your lifetime you would not see any changes in the star background. It would seem like you're standing still in the same place for the rest of your life, onboard a little box that is the only thing standing between you and doom. Interstellar space? I don't think so. It would take you 50 years just to reach the Oort cloud surrounding our solar system. Even if you're still alive and not insane by that time, the nearest star, Proxima Centauri, in the Alpha Centauri star system, is 24 trillion miles away. Unless they perfect cryogenics by the time you take off, you'll never even get close in your lifetime, even moving at 74 miles per second.

i love this song with all my heart

I just have to keep plugging this point:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=ESGmw_xBK9M

the ripoff is better tho

the dubtribe track is good, but hardly BEST EV

jaxon is otm about their name sounding like a dnw

http://youtube.com/watch?v=aAgqZmRIkos

just so dubtribe fans know what they're endorsing

hahahah

I've been trying to find a copy of this song since around March or April when I first read everyone on here buzzing about it. I've searched for it on soulseek something like 15 times by now, and still have not heard any of it. I've searched grooveshark lite for a stream. I've searched youtube. I guess I'll never hear it.

uh you can buy it off itunes for like a dollar and it is so awesome btw.

so. . .excellent

damn excellent

I once went to a party in San Francisco where dubtribe played and they (or someone else - memory is hazy) made everyone on the dancefloor join hands and say "ommmmmmmm" for about 5 minutes. I think it was to heal that guy that was crushed by speaker stacks. I remember Sunshine let me touch his 303 which really excited the 17 year old me. Yeah, LOL hippies etc. but I still think they're super underrated...

http://www.imeem.com/pitchforkmedia/music/trgDvF_7/the_juan_maclean_the_simple_life_marcus_worgul_remix/

sad house. very awes, tho.

unfortunately, "The Future Will Come" has been pushed back to early next year

oh fuck this is good. john maclean is a heroic-ass motherfucker

I need this on a fucking empeethree right now

OBLIVION OBLIVION OBLIVION

but its a remix?

yeah, I don't think the original has leaked yet, but I'm v. happy with this at the moment

I'm guessing if he's intentionally leaking this instead of the original, it probably means that this remix sets the higher bar

You can buy the MP3 now. I've had it on a loop all day.

was listening to the last six finger satellite record recently. you can hear how he's starting to want to go electronic...pretty awesome record actually.

I don't know about you guys. The lee douglas rmx is good, but all other versions on the single, including the original are not good

You just have to believe

Anyone read this interview with Juan/John?

http://www.gbh.tv/features/juanmacleaninterview.html

I don't like the way he comes off in it at all. I have my own gripes about some electro, especially the shittier stuff that inevitably comes as it gets more popular/blogged about, and scene kids can be annoying too, but it seems to me he's mad that the music they're making is not like the music he's making. I think that the concept of authenticity in electronic music is what leads to this self-pigeonholing and microgenrefication (sorry, lame word) that causes all this stupid intolerance between different kinds of music. It's like hearing dubstep kids say why electro sucks, and house kids say why minimal sucks, and it's all boring and pointless. It's especially ridiculous to the 99% of people who think a lot of electronic music sounds mostly alike.

I love Juan MacLean music, so I was kind of disappointed to hear a music nerd kind of go off on an electro-hating tangent. It's like hearing

I was backspacing and pressed "Submit" too early before I cleared that last sentence. Oh well. Still, this song kicks ass. I agree with everyone who said they really nailed the vocals well.

I don't think he's hating just saying that it's kinda played-out.

are you a bangin electro artist on the rise or something?

nope

I agree it's kinda played out, but it reads SMARMSMARMSMARMSMARMSMARMY:

It's all rock kids.
It's a lot of mustaches and heavy metal t-shirts and fitted baseball caps.
Good God.
Yeah, that's what I was saying too.

I was just hoping that a musician who seems to take the history of the music he makes very seriously and incorporates it into his work wouldn't pontificate on scene fashion. If he just said it was played out, or sounds crappy, I could agree because he seems to know his stuff. But he speaks less about how or why it sucks and more about the "kind" of people that listen to it and how long it will last as a trend. I figured someone as good as he would take one of two stances - 1) ignore blog house like he can ignore anything else he doesn't care for and make something better, or 2) go on a "kidz these days, they're ruining my disco scene!" rant, and it seemed to lean toward the latter.

was listening to the last six finger satellite record recently. you can hear how he's starting to want to go electronic...pretty awesome record actually.

Yes ^^^^

I have to work tonite. So fucked :(

my band opened for them when ilx was off.

they were great live...he plays this hybrid moog/therimin thing...pretty neat.

i bought the finding my way 5-song tour EP, was only 5 bucks, good stuff.

they had nice t-shirts but they were $35 bucks! c'mon dudes this isn't a stones show, "100 percent" organic cotton or no.

seemed like nice dudes in the green <s>room</s> basement....

i really wanted to dork out and ask him about six finger satellite shit but i figured he's probably sick of that shit.

# The Future Will Come - 2009

but when???

if anyone would like to pretend to be me at work so I can go to the juan maclean concert, they will have my eternal kudos

i will pretend to be you

i'm white btw

Homie! I don't think anyone will notice you're white btw.

i'll be at the show tonight. Juan Maclean start at 11:30pm. i'm going to need a nap.

ya me too thanks for the time though. good to plan

they played a really long time.

i'm also pretty sure they did a pet shop boys cover of some pet shop boys song i don't know....

was just listening to The Simple Life and though, holy shit, i love this little ending coda bit, only to realize the song had ended and Scientist - In Dub Vol.1 had started. Fuck! i love Scientist even more than Juan Maclean.

Marcus Worgull remix is first DFA thing I've really loved since probably that amazing Juan Maclean double pack from the first record...

not til 11:30? I wish I would have known he was on that late while I still had the time and energy to get downtown

# The Future Will Come - 2009

but when???

"Early Spring of 2009. There will be single first, maybe by the end of the year. Then the touring will start full-on, the videos, the radio edits and all that. Don't worry, it's all going to be ok."

(from his myspace)

got the tour single. they come with 4 diff. color triangles. the song that sounds like the Pet Shop Boys is fantastic. chorus / call-response section saying "i called you from the station" + "you called me from the station" were great. overall the new songs sound great but i sort of wish this was just going to be a Nancy Wang solo album. or maybe i wish john/juan wouldn't sing on any of the tracks. he sort of fucks up the vibe with his Front 242 style vocals.

oh, saw the 2nd half of the show from the balcony next to Nancy's mom? too cute. i couldn't believe how few people turned up. show was shamefully empty.

Where can I fully hear/When does simple life/Marcus Worgull remix come out? soulseek discogs isn't helping none, neither.

been out for a couple weeks on vinyl and mp3

mehlt, your new name is prrfect

Thanks!

Also, I read not long ago pitchfork says it's out on the 16th.

pitchfork be wrong

i prefer the original to the remix but i need to hear the remix properly before i submit my FINAL ANSWER™.

really wish this new album was out already. i'm dying to hear that Called You From the Station song.

btw, anybody know what's up with the DFA forums? they've been down for about a week now.

dfa site is under redesign

Incredible show last night in Chapel Hill. If you get the chance, absolutely go see them live. They closed with what must've been an at least 20 minute version of "Happy House." The tour cd is excellent as well. I was never completely satisfied with the first album, minus the real standouts something just didn't connect on the whole, but this show definitely has me excited for the upcoming one.

I want to hear a DJ play the intro up to the part where the piano comes in, slam it straight into the acid grooves, let it play to the end, and then come back to the beginning of the piano part. That would be awesome.

I'm going to play around in Soundforge now.

In related news, supposedly there's a new <a href="http://www.myspace.com/6fs";;>Six Finger Satellite</a> record coming out on Load (Maclean not in the band). It'd be cool to have him do a remix.....

― Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Saturday, February 2, 2008 8:38 PM (10 months ago)

I'm not sure when this will come out on disc, but MP3s have been available for over a month. Some of the clips are uncomfortably reminiscent of trashy early '00s alt-rock radio (remember Disturbed?), but I'm still curious to hear it in full.

new 12" The Simple Life is good too. looking fwd to this album

amazed that LJ hasn't given his opinion on this progged-out 15-minute epic

To be fair, it's only a progged-out 13-minute epic, which is probably a couple minutes shy of being worth LJ's esteemed time.

also: hyped.

This soundtracked my walk to work this morning. So excellent.

LOL. don't know if this was staged, but John MacLean is such a WNKIW

that's so staged that it's not funny at all

but what is a WNKIW?

happy house, the simple life and curses! remix with nancy and juan are all 3 cut from the same template. they mix together really well too. i made a 30min epic mix featuring all 3 tunes.

that is not staged. they are not actors, there is real anger there from jerry fuchs.

that scene was certainly not staged. i've spoken to the guy that filmed it. he thought it was a joke at first then the tension was so real and uncomfortable he was convinced it was a real argument.

also, I WUZ THERE!

what a dick!!

playing drums to tracks live is harder than anything other instruments because they are acoustically LOUD, you dick.

seriously, that guy is a huge dick. are in-ear monitors really going to kill your sound? wtf?

i was loling really hard, drummers are annoying anyway

max, juan maclean is the dick here, not the drummer

nah.... drummers are pretty annoying

drummers have it the hardest and get the least respect. misunderstood.

juan seems downright tyrannical there

lol ex junkie

WNKIW = "would not kick it with"

last three songs of my set tonite:

daft punk - around the world
the juan maclean - happy house
primal scream - loaded (wetherall mix) [club's light started coming up halfway through]

What was the rest of your set?

the new animal collective front to back

this is borderline street teaming cuz i got this in a promo email but

http://rcrdlbl.com/artists/The_Twelves/track/Be_My_Crush_%5BThe_Juan_MacLeans_B-LIVE_Rio_Mix

hopefully they're better than the 2 lame mixes he did for Matthew Dear. that Holy Ghost remix is the proper successor to Happy House and The Simple Life.

honestly i don't really hear anything special in the juan maclean, but i should probably stfu about it since i'm listening for stuff that sounds cool to me in the car or at home, not in a club.

waht juan maclean did u hear

the album tracks you recommended to me and a bunch of random remixes i dl'ed

i mean some of it's cool, it just doesn't really stand out to me. but i don't listen to a lot of dance music, so who knows.

I would think you would dig Less Than Human if you dig other DFA stuff.

less than human is pretty boring but i was looking for dancefloor stuff from it so you might like it more -- i think i recommended 'happy house' and 'give me every little thing' and 'venus' none of which are on his album

"Give Me Every Little Thing" is.

i think you would dig "happy house" if you have a pulse

also yea "give me every little thing" is on the album

ok well that was all that i liked from the album then -- i remember the rest being kinda zzz

ok guys i will give it another shot

"You Can't Have It Both Ways" is a grower, also check out "Tito's Way (reverso 68 rmx)"

anything with Nancy is usually great.

i think the whole album is kind of a grower, esp "dance with me"

i think my problem is that i want it to feel a lot more live than it does

lol drummer who hates dance music

Certainly one needs no dance music inclination to love Happy House. I'm a bad source to judge, but i think you would dig "happy house" if you have a pulse is pretty much right.

Actually, I think even floating brains in jars would love it, too.

also check out "Tito's Way (reverso 68 rmx)"

that double pack was a really satisfying release...love that remix.

I'm listening to those two new remixes and coming to the conclusion that THE JUAN MACLEAN IS (at least mildly) UNFAIR TO THE REST OF THE HUMAN RACE

'happy house' really does get the most extraordinary reaction - every time i've heard it out the crowd tend to go berko.

those sponsor cash mixes are ass

dude must have been short on rent last month

^___________________________________^

i'd like it to be written into the constitution that every album released from this day on forward end with "happy house"

lol

based on opener and closer i'm very much looking forward to this

That would make a suprising amount of albums much more listenable than they are. XD

The cover isn't showing for me :/

the song "The Station" was fantastic live

has leaked. sounding GREAT

^the whole album?

oh snap

weeeellllll this has sufficiently thrown my night off course

first time through and The Station is suffering for being so short. the version they performed live was about 7 mins long and had a fantastic build 3/4 of the way through that led to a final chorus and a big ending.

also, the most enjoyable moments on this album are the ones where john isn't singing. unfortunately, he tries to sing on too many of these songs. please, please, please give Nancy a whole album of her own.

dling now, hoping it's better than 'happy house' which still isnt clicking with me :/

oh happy house is on this record apparently, weird

I may never make it past "One Day". The part when the syncopated string chords come in is like d@_@b

I GET SO EMOTIONAL THESE DAYS

re: The Future Will Come: can the DFA crew please put that Shack Up/Losing My Edge beat away for good? this song is absolutely horrible in every way possible. the rest of the album is very enjoyable but this track (TFWC) shows a severe lack of quality control.

One Day is great, completely agree. Nancy Wang solo album please!

Thank god One Day is finally released! I must have listened to the BiS from last year where Tim Sweeney played this like 100 times.

uhhh, 'released'.

http://www.spacetoday.org/images/Rockets/AtlasRockets/Atlas5rocketLMCOartist.jpg

NEED MORE THAN FOUR MINUTES

yeah, i know there would be a danger of having the album be too formulaic but One Day and The Station both need to be twice as long as they are to really take off like The Simple Life and Happy House

i just read this whole thread and it is a classic.

Yeah, def hoping for a longer edit (and some ill remixes) if "One Day" becomes a single.

im liking this! totally with rev and j0rdan on the strings on 'one day', and happy house is totally hitting me, dunno if it's the album context or what.

"the future will come" is kind of redundant in a way but the synth spazzes on that are incredi

seriously fuck you if you hate on this

http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=41&threadid=69572

J0rdan, surely you can admit that The Future Will Come and Human Disaster are horrible. The rest of the album is great.

The title track is far from the best thing on the album, but I like it well enough. "Human Disaster" is totally unnecessary, but it's followed by "Happy House", which would redeem just about anything.

I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO HEAR THIS.

re: SOS-like blow-up, i really don't see that

yeah neither do i

I like how everyone's jumping on the bandwagon post "Happy House," when the first album was great to begin with.

That said... can't wait to hear this.

shut up you

I dunno, I feel his sound's changed quite a bit from his first album. A lot looser now and obv. more song-oriented. In a lot of aspects, it's the vocals that push this album over the edge. xp

hey i liked the first album a lot too, but this one has a lot more pop appeal. and a lot more nancy whang

i remember when i first started posting here & actually gave a shit if ppl thought i was, like, jumping on a bandwagon & carefully felt the need to explain that i was down with three-six mafia circa 'tongue ring' or whatever. but guess what: u do not get a prize for having paid attention to ilx threads about dfa artists from a couple years back.

esp since imo that album was way spotty -- juan maclean has pretty much been a 'singles artist' kind of dude -- my first impression of this album feels sorta similar -- not sure why hes going the 'album art' route instead of just packing his records w/ 8 min. long dance tracks. half this stuff needs remixes. & imo 'one day' sounds like dudes really into herbert's scale but thought it wasnt goth enough (this is not a bad thing fwiw ... but i think it still needs a rmx)

xp yeah, I love this album because of the whang

sorry that was xps to 'ilxor' & i was just reading vahid being bitter & sorta caught the bug

xp lol

I would totally be down with an epic remix of "One Day"

I don't really have any problem with most of the album leaning more toward synth-pop than house-qua-house, but remixes would totally be in order.

indeed. i am looking forward to seeing who they get for the remixes... anyone happen to know?

i mean besides the two singles that have already been released (and also didn't really need remixes to begin with)

Yeah, but the Lee Douglas mix of "Happy House" and Marcus Worgull mix of "The Simple Life" are both great in their own right. I probably even prefer the latter to the original mix.

does it go "ONE DAY BABY/ YOU'LL REALIZE I'M A WONDER, BABY"?

not sure why hes going the 'album art' route instead of just packing his records w/ 8 min. long dance tracks.

why would he do that?

i mean to say, are you really not sure why dude is not catering to your particular specific tastes? he clearly wants to write some pop songs in with the 8 min dance tracks

no, it's "One day baby, you'll realize i'm the One day baby etc"

& "hear if you try, i'll tell you what you want to hear if you try"

thankig u

altho i guess deej fwiw an album of happy houses would be the best thing ever so i guess i feel you

Eh, not really. One is enough.

i dont literally mean the same song

I realize that.

do you?

i just think my favorite juan maclean songs have always been the longer dance singles -- time i get to venus, give me every little thing, happy house etc
not against the 4 minute synth pop in all cases or anything, just in juan's

where the 'album tracks' on his first one all seemed kinda pointless
ill give this one some more time but my initial response was the same here

yeah, i gotta agree. only tracks i'm really digging on this album are the simple life, tonight, and happy house

ive listened to 'one day' abt 50 times since sunday

ive listened to 'one day' abt 50 times since sunday

make that 100

Happy House finally clicked with me last night.

A single release for "One Day" is coming soon with a new video as well.

The vocals (Nancy's at least) on "One Day" are total freestyle shit.

no love for "no time"??

acid housey mix-and-match paean to one-night stands? another song that could benefit from a remix

john's singing works better as some kind of jealous...robot? alien? spirit?

The "One Day" single is out, with remixes from Marc Romboy (eh), Surkin (surprisingly good), the Emperor Machine (it's the Emperor Machine, you know exactly what it's going to sound like and whether or not you're going to like it), and Lazaro Casanova (who?).

imo surkins been putting out solid shit for the last however long, one of the french electro nurave whatever dudes who i tend to like

What I really want though is an extended Juan Maclean version of the song, not someone else's interpretation.

Lazaro Casanova - i think he's a dude out of LA who DJs with MSTRKRFT a lot... but i could be wrong

or miami... nvm i heard of him a couple years back through MSTRKRFT but I haven't heard his stuff

also on surkin, dude is one of the only nurave acts worth listening to, puts out pretty awesome stuff

I was expecting to like this album moderately but instead I LOVE IT.

I'm very disappointed Emperor Machine chose to only use the male vocals on their remix of One Day. Nancy's vocals are essential and Juan's vocal is the worst part about the song. The Surkin mix is the only one worth hearing.

Damn, I still need to check out the "One Day" remixes.

after just recently starting to love that song, i'm not sure i'm ready

i still havent heard this song :/

meaning "Happy House"

"One Day" is going to be the free download on US Itunes this week, if you haven't heard it yet and don't want to bother with Soulseek or whatever.

Don't bother buying the remixes. They're complete shit except the Surkin mix which is only decent in so far as it mimics a 91/92 era rave track.

I didn't plan on buying them.

Agree with the proposition that "One Day" really just needs an extended mix, with a long climax of 4X4 beat plus those synth strings looping over and over and over.

Whiney: http://thecurbcrawlers.com/audio/dec2008/bestof/HappyHouse.mp3

Surkin Sucks

"one day" makes me emotional

i have been underwhelmed by this album. i gave it a good two full listens right when it came out and returned to it a couple more times but it hasn't struck me. i guess i'll try again some time soon

i haven't heard this record yet. should i?

no

Theoretically the arrangements on this album should bore me - like, do we really need to revive Moroder, Kraftwek, Robotnik et. al. one more time.

But their maximalism, the strategic use of particular sounds (piano vamps here, faux string riffs there) and the awesomely whanged out Human League boy/girl duets make it all sound like certified best thing ever.

It feels a lot more raucous and overdriven than the H&LA album, which it obv. will get endless comparisons to.

http://pitchfork.com/tv/#/musicvideo/908-the-juan-maclean-one-day-dfa

^^^"One Day" video

Practically speaking the arrangements on this album bore me - it feels about as obvious as music can possibly get in 2009 - but I'm not sure the Juan Maclean really bring enough of themselves to the table to get past that. It felt a bit like they were chugging through the motions but without the occasional moments of inspiration I remember from tracks like Give Me Every Little Thing.

But then I heard Tonight and totally fell in love, and that alone has ensured I'll give the album a few more plays to see if it clicks.

i've just listened to this a few times and to me there's something pretty great about its obviousness! I wasn't a big fan of his first record at all but this album's really clicking with me - it doesn't seem to want to be anything other than a banging disco/synthpop record and I think on that note it delivers. Plus Nancy Whang's vocals really do add something to his more rote arrangements - she's not a terrific singer but there's a charming enthusiasm about her delivery that it's not hard to get sucked in.

Agree with you on Tonight though, that was the track I really, really loved on first listen too.

the raucousness and whang's sub-pro vocals make it sound like a bunch of friends playing house music in the basement, which is what most of dfa's best records sound like i think

not heard the album yet, but the One Day video is a little disappointing. maybe too on the nose human league?

Man, those vocals on one day sound like they could have been lifted from an electroclash track, disappointing. (If it wasn't for the last 45 seconds, I'd say it sounds like Glass Candy, or something of the sort, which for me, again, is kind of disappointing)

I want less sing-talking and more DUN DEH DEH!

haha - One Day reminds me for some reason of Front 242

Nancy lives on the same block as my XGF.

One Day reminds you of Front 242 because 'Juan' can't sing for shit and insists on putting his horrible voice on all the tracks. His voice is even worse live. Still, I love the other parts enough to ignore his contributions vocally.

yeah i really like this album but could do with less male vocals. same with hercules and love affair, actually, think someone mentioned them

The vocals on "One Day" (well, at least Nancy's) sound like freestyle, not fucking electroclash. Fuck, if I had an acapella, I would put my Jellybean Benitez cap on and go to work on that shit.

A New Bot is one of the most irritating pieces of music I've heard this year but if you remove that and skip the title track this is a pretty good album, even if all the lifts are super-obvious. They're even jacking Drop The Pressure on one track.

I basically only listen to "One Day", "No Time", "Accusations", "Tonight", "The Station" and "Happy House".

^^ditto, except with 'the simple life' as well, which may well be my actual favourite. that makes, what, 2-3 skipped tracks? not very many! it's one of those albums i enjoy a great deal but have nothing to say about - it's there, it does what it does, it mostly does it very well. total ear candy.

'Tonight' is the kind of thing the PSBs should be doing. generally the female vocals remind me of the ones on H&LA album but more Human League-ish i guess.

this album is boring but happy house is a good track

with Michael Paaarrrkinson...

...Liza Godard

...and Lionel Blair

this is pretty strong i think, other than the singles i'm liking the pop-acid 'no time' the best at the moment.

the phil oakey impression being performed by juan is A+

according to juan on the dfa forums he intentionally didn't quantize the high hats (but did quantize the kick and snare). apparently a friend of his called him from australia to complain about lack of quantized hats while the track was still playing!

lol, he tells the same anecdote in this RA article from yesterday (which is a good read if you're into working methods)

great story. i can't emphasize how much more amazing The Station is live. It's pretty good on the album but the live version is extended and generally maximized. I can't wait to see the upcoming tour with The Field.

Also of note in the article, he wants to film a live video for Happy House!

"No Time" might even be my absolute favourite now.

anyone heard the chateau flight remix of 'happy house'?

so good

One time we were in Bristol, in England, a few years ago, some members of the band had taken a fair amount of drugs before the show, mostly things like ecstasy and cocaine and mushrooms. I was using my older MPC at that point, and during the breakdown part in "Crush the Liberation," somehow I had managed to unknowingly raise the tempo from 120 to 180 BPM. So the song kicks back in and it's blindingly fast, and we all looked at each other and just jumped in and played furiously along.

People went crazy, they thought it was part of the show. I think Jerry threw up after, but he never missed a beat. He is like a machine, the best drummer in the world as far as I'm concerned.

i haven't listened to this album in a while but "one day" is top 3 song of the year

this might end up being my favourite album of the year (unless New AmErykah 2 drops and is somehow as good as the first one)

if it weren't for 2 absolutely horrible songs, this would be the best album on DFA yet. I still listen to it every week.

that little story a few posts up about the drummer keeping up at 180 bpm is awesome. saw the juan maclean (w/ the field) a couple of weeks ago and he was absolutely incredible - they do this part where everybody speeds up really fast and then comes back down in tempo and he absolutely nailed it. which is pretty hard to do when you're playing w/ sequenced tracks imo

mentasm sound on 'no time' is so great

with 'tonight' i kinda wish it started with the horn bit rather than the syndrums

i don't skip anything on this

that video that the rev posted upthread has basically made me hate this dude (not all of his music, but the dude himself)

For a second I thought you were talking about the "One Day" vid before I figured out what you were talking about. Dude's had a rep for ridiculous hardmanning for a while.

i love that clip "I'M SORRY IF MY LIMBS AREN'T MIDI"

lr: Maclean, hapless roadie

http://static.tvguide.com/MediaBin/Galleries/Shows/S_Z/Sa_Sh/Shield/season7/shield93.jpg

Jordan - i read an interview with him in montreal's weekly alternative press, where he explains that he was trying to stay away from ironic lyrics in exchange for an honest, heartfelt approach at the risk of it sounding really corny. anyways i got the impression he was a really sweet guy, tired of cynicism and just wants to write some love songs.

haha blueski

if it weren't for 2 absolutely horrible songs

Which?

He said basically the same thing in the Pfork 5-10-15-20 feature a couple weeks back, that he was drawn to dance music partially because of the lack of angst/cynicism/irony in the lyrics and just wanted to do something more heartfelt and without a facade.

if it weren't for 2 absolutely horrible songs

Which?

the title track and 'human disaster' i'm guessing

I can see how "Human Disaster" wouldn't work for some listeners, but the title track is excellent!

I think this is pretty great start to finish.

Also, the sleeve art is great - best album sleeve I've seen in years:

http://mishkanyc.com/bloglin/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/juan-maclean-future-will-come.jpg

This album needs more DRUMS!!

In regards to that video earlier in the thread:

I saw the YouTube video, where Jerry was fuming that you left him behind in Albuquerque – has he since stopped asking for an in-ear?

'Yeah, fuck him, he stopped asking after that video was spread around so much. To spite me, he got tattoos of midi inputs on the back of both of his arms. At the end of the day, we all have the same issues about hearing everybody on stage, and he should not be given special treatment. In-ears are for pussies. I just won't allow it on stage, no matter what he says.'

Hehehe

Also:

'Even something as shitty as this Roland U110 module I bought a couple of years ago, it's a cheap thing nobody is ever looking for. It's just a midi module with presets that you can't tweak. However, the piano sound is amazing for house-y piano stuff, and it's because of that module really that I wrote Happy House.'

I wanna hear this on a rooftop terrasse overlooking some anonymous tropical megapolis

Reverend, I really need to hear your reversion of "Happy House"; please can you zshare again; so so gonna play this when I next DJ.

Lamed out (inexplicably) last time I DJed and stuck Orbital "Chime" on instead of "Happy House"

All you lovers are so damn excellent!

Nothing I'm saying hasnt been said before - but this still sounds SO EXCELLENT in July 2009!!!!!

Juan/John is quite short!!! He threw on a great set - Blind (Frankie Knuckles mix), Alexander Robotnick - Problemes D'Amour and mixed "Happy House" into "NY Lipps" = people lose they minds!!

PS Not exactly sure when I'm gonna go to sleep; Happy House on loop all the way home and dug out the disco lights for home disco: HAPPY HAPPY HOUSE!!!!

no real reason? it's a dj edit dude. extended intro = more fluid mix. don't think any of their edits have set out to do much else other than add mix utility.

Their remix of Chairlift's 'Evident Utensil' is brilliant. WIBBLE. SQUELCH. WIBBLE.

Surkin remix of "One Day" is sp excellent but.......

are any london ppl going to see them @ cargo

Yeah, I'm going.

o fuck i must

"one day" desperately needs a few more remixes. I don't think the ones on the single are much cop.

OTM, it has all the right ingredients to be truly great, but damned if Marc Romboy's going to do it.

I asked Juan at the show in Seattle a month ago and he said they're planning on going into the studio to do a live version of Happy House and potentially an extended version of One Day. When I told him it needed a proper extended mix he said 'i know, you're not the first to say that'. So who knows. Maybe it will happen.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zVKnweTSDs

SO EXCELLENT

kindof suckass at that length, its weird when the whang comes in so early

obv not as good at that length but <3 the video, way better than "One Day" vid

i quite like the 'One Day' vid tho don't quite understand it (it feels disjointed as much as the track needs expansion as well as some kind or rejig to work better as a single)

would like 'No Time' as a single/vid

still no ticket for the London gig yet

its weird when the whang comes in so early

That's what your mom said... ;-)

did you just make a "your mom" joke where you're a premature ejaculator?

:'(

STILL SO GOOD

Was actually thinking the other day how well this would work at 25+ minutes, It's actually kind of ineffective at 3 minutes, actually. It's the room to breath that makes this so much more than just DUN DEH DEH + Launch Me Into Spaaaaace.

yeah, makin me appreciate the long version tbh and i'm really not a happy house stan

12:38, baby. And it's actually all about the very subtle variations in that looping bass line.

ya the video edit just sucks the life out of the crescendos. i wouldnt mind an extended version of the video tbh

technical problems caused delays, but they were still pretty awesome live. forgot how amazing GMELT is. also, DUNH DEH DEH x10000 etc... :D

jeez u people! who cares if the track is cut down to pop song length because the video is awesomez

interested to hear what woolford's done with it

LOL or beta, not so much

psyched for the gig on wednesday (shame it's not on a weekend tho)

technical problems caused delays

indeed! half their equipment was stranded in helsinki so we had a nervous breakdown inducing couple of hours trying to source replacement gear. at one point it looked like there was no way they would be able to play but thankfully they pulled it off. they were fab!

didn't watch the Happy House because thirty seconds in the track was just so not awesome in this version.

Holy crap they were amazing tonight. Reasons why they were awesome:

- Only playing their seven or so good songs (including Give Me Every Little Thing yay)
- Nancy Whang in full length gold cape and superhero boots
- Singer dude can play two theramins at the same time IN HARMONY. The bit between songs where he played Amazing Grace on both of them was like :0
- 25 MINUTES OF HAPPY HOUSE. About half of which was ridiculous acid wibble from "launch me into space" onwards. And then they brought the original bassline back in right near the end and people went mad.
- Finishing with Tonight <3 <3 <3

we didn't get tonight, and nancy was wearing white, but otherwise totally OTM to my experience on Sunday night. Loved it.

such
an
amazing
gig

launch
me
into
spaaaaaace

- Only playing their seven or so good songs (including Give Me Every Little Thing yay)

i actually wanted The Future Will Come and Accusations (You Can't Have It Both Ways would be moon on a stick tho yes) but still...EXCELLENT

so unhappy i missed this... :(

i don't really get nancy whang, every time I've seen LCD live, which was three i think, she just seemed really bored to be there, and it was all about the pat mahoney steamrolling rhythm machine.

LOVE that Surkin remix.

nancy w/ lcd (yeah kind of boring) != nancy w/ juan (http://www.bestanimations.com/Earth&Space/Shuttle-01-june.gif)

did not know you were a fan of this song, rev

hahaha yess

new mixes are being split over two 12"s - lazaro casanova / paul woolford, and vhs or beta / chateau flight / will saul-mike monday - for those keeping tabs.

listening to the new mixes now. I think VHS or Beta is my favorite so far - pretty sure disco strings are one of the five food groups. This Chateau Flight mix is pretty good, too.

CF the only one i've heard - like it, very 'reduced'.
