FM4 Unlimited with Jacques Renault
Thank heavens for people who spend hours and hours in front of their computer surfing the internet. Big thank you to Michael from the UNLTD site for letting us know about this one. See, I didn't even know that DFA did something like a mix series.
Sure we play quite a lot of the tunes from the label - Juan Mclean, The Rapture - remember how we rinsed out Holy Ghost Hold On last year? What I like about DFA so much is that they really come up with a whole bunch of projects that I don't expect, which keeps things super interesting. Also, while there are whole bunch of labels out there that try to be hip and cool, down with the kids etc. DFA is really amongst the few that truly achieve this.

This summer mix is done by Jacques Renault - classically trained musician, globe trotting DJ and producer from the New York disco elite, as well as being part of Runaway. This mix is great - tons of wicked disco edits and reworks. Good good stuff.
You can download the mix from the DFA radio mixes page. I recommend you check out some of their previous mixes too.
