艺人介绍

请说出John Maclean和Juan Maclean之间的分别:

前者,是九十年代Sub Pop旗下纽约Electro-Punk乐队Six Finger Satellite的吉他手兼键琴手;后者,则是当今纽约Disco-Punk Scene重镇DFA Records旗下的电音制作人。

阿John与阿Juan,看似各具异禀的乐手,然而其实都是同一人。当年John Maclean退出乐坛,到以The Juan Maclean之名义东山复出,看到是这位Maclean先生洗心革面、脱胎换骨的蜕变。

Maclean得以重出江湖,那绝对是DFA两位主脑James Murphy和Tim Goldsworthy的功劳。

The Juan Maclean是继The Rapture及LCD Soundsystem后,DFA Records第三个发表官方专辑的音乐单位。他的首张专辑Less Than Human,亦被视为DFA秘密武器。

脱离Six Finger Satellite后,Maclean亦决意退出乐坛——把乐器卖掉,由纽约市移居新罕布什尔州,戒掉毒瘾,攻读学位并开始为年轻罪犯协会担任英语教师的工作,实行重新开始他的有意义生活。

与此同时,当年Law Of Ruins的监制兼录音师James Murphy仍有跟Maclean联系,James与其好友Tim Goldsworthy为Maclean寄上推荐的CD,彼此交流音乐心得。然后,因为Tim向Maclean引荐了曼城IDM电音组合Autechre,而好让他对音乐重新兴奋起来。

2000年,Maclean购置了一台电脑与一台Sampler,重新投入音乐创作;他拿着Herbie Hancock的83年Electro经典Rockit取经(他十三岁那年的至爱),从而打造出By The Time I Get To Venus这首作品,一首彰显着Punk乐态度的Electro-Disco电子曲目——这也是The Juan Maclean在2002年发表的首张单曲,DFA的首批出品之一。Maclean正式以电音制作人姿势重返乐坛。

Prior to becoming one of the most significant acts on the DFA label, John Maclean was a member of Sub Pop band Six Finger Satellite. Initially, Six Finger Satellite fit in with the remainder of the Sub Pop roster, but after one EP, they took a sharp turn into herky-jerky post-punk that was inspired by Devo, Big Black, and Suicide instead of Black Sabbath, the Stooges, and Led Zeppelin. By the time they went to record their final album, 1998's Law of Ruins, Krautrock began to play a major role, and so did James Murphy, who produced, engineered, and mixed the sessions, in addition to running the band's live sound. When the band broke up, Maclean's aggravated emotional state and long-term drug addiction took him low enough to provoke a move from New York to New Hampshire and a drastic change in lifestyle. Murphy and Tim Goldsworthy, who were getting the DFA label off the ground, provoked Maclean to become interested in making music again. Using the name the Juan Maclean, Maclean took the sound of his defunct band to the dancefloor, retaining flashes of post-punk and '70s experimental electronics while grafting bits of early Euro-disco, electro, Detroit techno, and Chicago house. A handful of singles -- including DFA highlights "You Can't Have It Both Ways" and "Give Me Every Little Thing" -- led to 2005's Less Than Human, the first album credited to the Juan Maclean.
