The Crystal Ark is the latest project from DFA artist, musician Gavin Russom. Previous in carnations of his work (namely Black Meteoric Star) have featured some of the most extravagant light shows and heavy heavy music of their kind. The sound is deep and primordial harking back to the prehistoric origins of rhythm. This show in the Studio will feature a complete light installation and formidable cast and crew ready to steer us all back into the heart of darkness.

Modcast #98: Juan MacLean

John "Juan" MacLean is a busy guy. Since his last full-length album (The Future Will Come) he's been relentlessly touring, guested on a number of other records (including Holy Ghost and Shit Robot's latest offerings), turned out a slew of remixes (apparently there are ones for Yoko Ono + Stevie Nicks in the works too) and is working on a new house project, going under the moniker 'Peach Melba'.

Video: The Crystal Ark - The City Never Sleeps

Artistic all-star Gavin Russom has been a long time member of the DFA stable as part of Black Meteoric Star and Crystal Ark. His experimentation with the boundaries of conventional composition make for a very raw kind of music that, like tribal drums, reminds us that we're all made of rhythms. His live shows are also as much modern art installations as they are performances.

Download: The Tough Alliance - A New Chance (The Juan MacLean Remix)

The Tough Alliance's A New Chance maybe over two years old, but that hasn't stopped DFA electronic maestro, the Juan MacLean, from giving the record's title track a crisp, new reworking taken form the Prison Break remix EP.

Download: Van She - (Don't Fear) The Reaper (Holy Ghost! Remix)

Not too long ago we prescribed you with Van She's cover of the Blue Oyster Cult classic, "(Don't Fear) The Reaper". But if that fever still persists then we highly recommend that it's about time for your second dosage, in the form of a Holy Ghost! remix of the very same track. As if the original wasn't enough, Holy Ghost! do what they do best and take team Van She's effort and make it their own.
