The Juan MacLean
Prior to becoming one of the most significant acts on the DFA label, John Maclean was a member of Sub Pop band Six Finger Satellite. Initially, Six Finger Satellite fit in with the remainder of the Sub Pop roster, but after one EP, they took a sharp turn into herky-jerky post-punk that was inspired by Devo, Big Black, and Suicide instead of Black Sabbath, The Stooges, and Led Zeppelin.
By the time they went to record their final album, 1998's Law Of Ruins, krautrock began to play a major role, and so did LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy...
Knife Party
Knife Party is the side project of Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen, members of Australian electronic band Pendulum. So far, they have done a remix of Swedish House Mafia's Save The World, Porter Robinson's Unison and Nero's Crush On You.
