Dan Bodan – SOFTY SOFT Vol. 3

DFA Records is proud to present the third and final volume of remixes from Dan Bodan’s 2014 album, Soft.

SOFTY SOFT Vol. 3 consists of remixes from familiar faces, new monikers, and iconic figures in electronic music. We start with Montreal native CFCF’s Tasteless Dub Remix of Romeo, where gentle percussion and whispered vocals echo and reverberate off classic dub guitar and bass. Up next is 1080p Collection superstar MCFERRDOGG (AKA Max McFerren) with his take on Soft As Rain, with keyboard stabs and 808 cowbells and an overall vibe that reminds the author of Depeche Mode’s alt-dance classic Policy Of Truth.

Glaswegian pop hit-maker Howie B (Who you may know as a solo artist, or for his work with Björk, U2, and recently Ela Orleans) reduces Rusty to a bare minimum. We round out the collection as Soft began – with a remix by Low Concept, the name of the collaboration from Soft co-producers Ville Haimala (Renaissance Man) and Daniel Fisher (Physical Therapy). They bump up the BPM, transforming Dan’s angelic vocals into mere percussive texture, with the track racing towards a glimmering, acidy freakout.

Dan Bodan – SOFTY SOFT Vol. 2

Building upon his debut album, Soft, Berlin-based singer and producer Dan Bodan has enlisted a community of friends and underground club producers to create SOFTY SOFT, three volumes of remixes that reimagine Bodan’s original material. Volume 1 saw Draveng and CFCF offer two new visions to “Romeo”. Now, Bodan is pleased to offer a full stream of Volume 2 which contains remixes from UNO-affiliate Gobby, remix/production duo E&E, Janus Collective artists Lotic and KABLAM, as well as LA-based producer Draveng. Volume 2 will be available digitally via DFA Records on January 26th 2015.

The Soft LP is currently on sale via DFA and the imprint has teamed with Canadian cassette label 1080p to simultaneously release the album as a limited cassette edition. Stay tuned for SOFTY SOFT Volume 3 with offerings from Low Concept, CFCF, MCFERRDOG, and Howie B.

Dan Bodan – Softy Soft Vol. 1

Softy Soft Vol. 1 is the first selection of reworks of material from Dan Bodan’s acclaimed album “Soft”. Softy Soft is Dan Bodan commissioning friends, peers, and underground legends to bring Soft from the bedroom to the club. Montreal’s CFCF kicks off by adding layers of dance-pop piano and rolling basslines to Romeo, transforming it into a catwalk strut.

It’s backed up with the “Capulet’s Shallow Shame Re-think” by Los Angeles producer Draveng (who recently released a great EP on Soft co-producer Physical Therapy’s Allergy Season label), which oscillates and swirls in the lower registers, with only glimpses of Dan’s vocals peeking through the murk.

Stay tuned for future installments, which will feature remixes by E+E, Howie B, and Low Concept, among many others. Stream CFCF’s remix below. Purchase high quality digital music at DFA Direct.
