If you haven’t been following the last five years of Juan MacLean’s discography, this is the perfect opportunity to catch up. The New Yorker has compiled nine of his fairly recent tracks on The Brighter The Light, that he had progressively been releasing as EPs and which were honestly worth uniting under one single long format release, as they illustrate the capacity of the producer, affiliated to James Murphy’s label DFA, of wavering between disco, electronic, techno, house and even dub, creating dance hymns that don’t worry about cross-genre border crossing.
The oldest track dates back to 2013 and is titled You Are My Destiny: it wraps the listener up in a sonic duvet. Also in retro mode, Zone Non Linear, uses a contagiously catchy loop on a synth paired with coarse production (à la DFA) and vocals from Nancy Whang, the singer from LCD Soundsystem, to bring a soulful side to proceedings. Also to be noted: Feel Like Movin’, a DFA classic and a sure fire way to get a crowd moving (according to DJs). Juan MacLean also reveals two unheard tracks, Quiet Magician, a Jamaica-infused dub track bolstered by a cosmic synth and a slight techno twinge, a masterpiece in the same vein as Marcus Worgull and Maurizio, and Pressure Danger, more basic with its 4/4 techno beat but with all the coldness of industrial Detroit in the 90s and Nancy Whang’s contrasting voice as well. Irresistible. © Smaël Bouaici/Qobuz
