Black Meteoric Star / S/t

DFA

Black Meteoric Star, the latest project by longtime DFA alumni Gavin Russom, is inspired by equal parts Euro-disco, wonky early electronic body music from America’s Midwest, and a fascination with the outer reaches of global psychedelic rock. Russom began the recordings in 2006, around time Carl Craig remixed Russom and Delia Gonzalez’s single “Relevee,” making it one of the year’s biggest dance club anthems. DFA is releasing three vinyl 12-inch singles with extended original versions, plus a full-length CD that edits and compiles all six tracks. These six pieces of music together comprise a narrative of clubbing and the long journey through the night and into the next day. On each track, Russom creates rich sonic landscapes using minimal but intense arrangements and high-energy repetition. Russom, a Rhode Island native, now lives and works in Berlin. He has produced many remixes recently, including a new single by Croatian techno artist Petar Dundov, one for New York’s avant garde duo Palms, and a remix featured on the upcoming soundtrack for the remake of the movie Tron.
