Holy Ghost! finally return with a follow-up to their breakthrough "Hold On" single from 2007, Alex Frankel and Nick Millhiser delivering four premium-grade cuts of shimmering, '80s informed nu-disco, and not a moment too soon, with the steamy, endless late-night summer dance parties just about to begin. Also includes a U Tern remix of EP stand-out "Say My Name. Great stuff!

Featuring ex-Plate Tectonics Mika Yoneta and Devin Flynn, and Soft Circle's Hisham Bharoocha (ex-Black Dice), Pixetlan are back with their first release in five years. The trio are one of the DFA's most adventurous signings, and here we get four new songs, with Yoneta singing in both English and Japanese over a percussive, hypnotic bass and drum groove during the title track, and then veering into their singular, pulsating take on disco-not-disco. Good stuff!

More fully-formed than their debut, Pylon’s 1983 sophomore effort Chomp (reissued and re-titled as Chomp More by DFAl) is a culmination of their sound: the band channels the angular instrumentals and eccentric vocals of groups like Television and Gang of Four, but with more dance-informed rhythms. The whole thing is complemented by lead vocalist Vanessa Briscoe’s energy and exuberance. This is surely some of Pylon's best work.

LCD Soundsystem's brilliant, ever-morphing space disco cum workout soundtrack "45:33" finds new life again, this time with a who's who lis of producers and artists re-mixing the tracks. Runaway, Prince Language, Prins Thomas, Theo Parrish, Trus'Me, Padded Cell, Pilooski and Riley Reinhold....not much more needs to be said, other than this will easily hold LCD fans over until the next proper record come out. Good stuff!

Four albums in, YACHT's See Mystery Lights finds the duo of Jona Bechtolt and recent newcomer Claire Evans fusing the avant-electro-pop of their past releases with the dancefloor sheen that their new record label home, DFA, has built its reputation on. What could be party crashing themes of spirituality and afterlife playfully float above 4/4 rhythms and electronic beats keeping things far from heady.
