[Watch] Red Bull Music Academy's Short Documentary on DFA Records

This year marks the 12-year anniversary of the James Murphy, Jonathan Galkin and Tim Goldsworthy-founded DFA Records, one of the definitive record labels of the dance-punk scene over the last decade. Red Bull Music Academy has released a rather fascinating short documentary in honor of the occasion. Titled 12 Years of DFA: Too Old To Be New, Too New To Be Classic, the film chronicles the history of the label and its founders, as well as its artists (including Murphy's now defunct LCD Soundsystem). Watch it below.

[Download] Cut Copy - "Take Me Over" (Thee Loving Hand Remix by Tim Goldsworthy)

The love just keeps on coming today doesn't it!? Below you can download a nice 10 minute remix of Cut Copy's "Take Me Over". It's been done by Tim Goldsworthy or as he's also known, Thee Loving Hand. It is a lengthy electro dance mix that will make you want to get up and dance out of the office or wherever you are right now. Only a few days guys and you will have at least one day off!

Cut Copy are set to release their third full length studio album, Zonoscope, in February next year. After we got our first taste of the new album last month it looks like it will be one to look out for in 2011.
