The Juan Maclean Less Than Human

“Steeped in the sweet danceteria-era NY, and yet sound utterly timeless." –NME “Urgent Nuclear Age grooves” –MOJO

Hot on the heels of a series of DFA dancefloor funk twelve inches, comes the Juan Maclean’s Less Than Human, a worldwide debut. Tucked away in his newly adopted home of New Hampshire, Maclean creates tracks twinged with doom and glory; pulling singular life experiences and far-out, mechanical inspirations into the mix. This former member of Six Finger Satellite aligns metallic synths, cowbells, samplers and even “robot stuff” (e.g. ‘Shining Skinned Friend’ & overall glimmering dynamics), which pass from one state to another.

Less Than Human, recorded at Juan’s home and Plantain Studios, was mixed and produced by the DFA and Juan Maclean. This advantageous pairing led to the successes of tracks like ‘Give Me Every Little Thing’ and the general re-ignition of Juan’s enthusiasm for music. Less Than Human is a precision-tuned rekindling of MacLean’s love affair with everything from Kraftwerk to Juan Atkins and Derrick May, Funkadelic to Giorgio Moroder and Lipps Inc, DAF to Talking Heads and Frankie Goes To Hollywood.

The paranoia of Less Than Human is a must listen for any fan of the obscure originality that the DFA always deliver with utter grace. The first single off the album will be ‘Tito’s Way.’ a Latin inspired gem which contrasts acid-house synth squelches and rave whistles with clattering, tribal percussion.
