Prior to becoming one of the most significant names on the DFA label, John MacLean was a member of Sub Pop band Six Finger Satellite. When Six Finger Satellite broke up,he starts a friendship with Murphy, who moved to New York City and founded influential dance-punk label DFA Records and started LCD Soundsystem. Using the name the Juan MacLean, MacLean took the sound of his defunct band to the dancefloor, retaining flashes of post-punk and ’70s experimental electronics while grafting bits of early Euro-disco, electro, Detroit techno, and Chicago house.
His first album on the label, Less Than Human, was released in July 2005. The Future Will Come followed in 2009, preceded by the singles “Happy House” and “The Simple Life” both of which featured vocals from frequent collaborator Nancy Whang. A year later, MacLean contributed to the !K7 label’s DJ-Kicks series. Also during the early 2000s MacLean became fairly prolific as a remixer, with Air (“Surfing on a Rocket”), Chromeo (“Me and My Man”), Chicken Lips (“White Dwarf”), Roy Davis, Jr. (“I Have a Vision”), and Passion Pit (“To Kingdom Come”) just a few of the acts who sought him out. On 25 June 2014 on Pitchfork Media, The Juan MacLean announced a new album, In a Dream, and its release date, 16 September 2014.
