"I remember it well, in fact I was there."
"No you weren't."
"Yes I was, the air was heavy, sweat, smoke and sex were everywhere, and the music -- so loud it shakes your brain into a whole other personality -- the music, thank god for the music, we were all... all there for the music.
I was there, that fateful night when James Chance and ESG lost their virginity to each other in the bathroom, sex that sounded like sex should sound, sex with bass that lubricates on its own, with a sax solo that predates Viagra by some thirty thousand lifetimes..."
"This is just a record, calm down."
"...And then as they peeled themselves apart, reveling in the drip-dry stickiness of post-coital glow, they looked deep into one another's eyes and swallowed slowly -- they knew that between them they had spawned a child who would carry their dream to a new millennium -- James Murphy. A child they knew would go on to make punk-funk sound like a vinyl orgasm with DFA, and make records that scream sex louder than any third rate hooker ever would, even for another fifty notes..."
In September 2004, Pixeltan will release a record called "Get Up/Say What," a single, released remixed by our story's hero -- DFA. A song that pulses like a pyrotechnic heartbeat and steals every ounce of latent, sugary sex-appeal hidden in the beat of James Chance's 'Contort Yourself' and smears it all over the length and breadth of its nine-minute body. This before slipping inside the dance-floor hypnotism of ESG's live show, creating a fresh beast, a beast of a song with a mind of it's own that demands to be played, demands to be danced to, and demands to be loud.
