DFA Records is an independent record label and production team, launched in September 2001 by Mo' Wax co-founder Tim Goldsworthy, musician James Murphy,[1] and manager Jonathan Galkin. DFA could be seen as the center of the dance-punk genre. As well as Murphy's LCD Soundsystem the label is currently home to The Juan Maclean, Hot Chip (North America only), Shit Robot, Delia Gonzalez & Gavin Russom, Prinzhorn Dance School, Booji Boy High, Shocking Pinks, Holy Ghost!, Hercules and Love Affair, Still Going, Syclops and YACHT. They are also jointly releasing music by with fellow New York City based label Rong Music, by artists such as Free Blood and Woolfy.[10] The label has also reissued the first album by Athens, Georgia based new wave band Pylon, the first time it has been available on CD.The Dance-punk genre is somewhat of a resurgence of New York's underground scene circa 1978-1982. The influence of bands like Talking Heads, Liquid Liquid, ESG, and Blondie can be heard throughout the DFA catalog. Rather than retread, however, the DFA have taken the live dance music of the time and infused the techniques and themes with a modern aesthetic--alternately faster, heavier, dubbier, noisier, and generally more intense than their influences. The DFA's trend towards live musicians and improvisation in dance music has spread in recent years to artists like Tussle, !!!, Out Hud, Moving Units and Tom Vek, and many established House producers have also begun to follow suit
