Last year, new DFA artist Larry Gus (Panagiotis Melidis) released and gave away his first full length album " Silent Congas " as a free download . A trippy, sample-based beat record, it was a response and love letter to the MPC God J Dilla and artists like Koushik and Caribou . A solid DFA debut, it actually sits quite well in the mix with all those artists. Recently, DFA's just released a pair of excellent dancefloor ready remixes [...]
The weird and the wonderful Hello Skinny and fellow production fiend Hana, let Larry Gus into their world of crystallised staccato and angel winged electro last seen on the highly respected DFA Records. If this is a marriage made in analogue / digital heaven, then the reception needs to be held on planet Earth.
Check out the beautiful video for Sinkane's latest single "Warm Spell", one of the finest moments off his debut album "Mars", which was released last year on DFA. As a bonus, you can download a supeb remix of the track from up-and-coming Greek-born, Milan-based producer Panagiotis Melidis, aka Larry Gus . Ride on! Directed by Philip Di Fiore. Download here
Two of DFA's newbies collide here, Larry Gus sprinkling his psychedelic dust all over Sinkane's 'Warm Spell'. A summer smash if ever I heard one. Also check out Larry's album on DFA if you haven't already, it's available for nish. The kind of record Animal Collective would make if they took copious amounts of magic mushrooms (which they may well have done to be fair).
YACHT @ T5, Oct 2012 ( more by Diana Wong ) As mentioned before , DFA Records is throwing a 12th Anniversary party on May 25 at Brooklyn's spectacular Grand Prospect Hall , which is part of the Red Bull Music Academy's NYC takeover. That show is now sold out but a few of the acts playing it will be doing another show while here. YACHT , UK duo Prinzhorn Dance School (making their NYC debut) and Larry Gus will play [...]

- Frequenze review - Dopo aver abbandonato gradualmente il taglio dance rock, la produzione della DFA nel corso degli ultimi due anni ha incluso tutto, dalla minimal house alle ristampe disco. In ordine di tempo Silent Congas è l'ultima release ed esplora un territorio ancora diverso per l'etichetta. Essenzialmente è un progetto costruito su ritmi lenti, che mostrandosi apparentemente agnostico al genere, è ossessionato dal groove. Il lavoro di songwriting si sposa ai processi di miscelazione creando paesaggi [...]

by Andrew Sacher Milano-via-Greece producer Larry Gus has a few releases out already, and he just teamed up with DFA Records for his latest, a free album called Silent Congas . The album weds psychedelic soul hop beats with otherworldly rhythms and soundscapes in a retro-futuristic kind of way that should appeal to fans of Gonjasufi or of the collaborative album by Sun Araw, M. Geddes Gengras, and The Congos . You can stream the [...]
"Larry Gus loves Madlib. The Milan-based, Greek-raised producer has been making beat tapes for the last several years. I never heard a bad note, but they seemed slightly reverent. They were good, but rarely expanded beyond his most direct influence. This is no longer true. On his new free LP for the DFA imprint, Gus distills the entire saga of Madlib’s Medicine Show into a thirty-minute maelstrom of African samples, indie-pop riffs, house piano vamps, and esoteric percussion." -- passionweiss.com Read more »
Zip: Larry Gus - Silent Congas
The problem with producers who love Madlib is that they usually love Madlib a little too much. It's important to keep a healthy separation from your idols, lest you end up imitating them. Madlib has influenced some of the next generation's most creative minds , but like Dilla, he's partially responsible for a generation of bedroom producers thinking that a loop jack was all it took to reign supreme. Not true. Splicing soul samples can be collage or alchemy, depending on the chop, the crates, and the kinetic energy of the drums. Larry Gus loves Madlib. The [...]
Mario Cotto In the wake of a post-LCD Soundsystem DFA Records , a lot of folks (myself included) were wondering, "What comes next?" The metaphorical Fat Lady sung and the sun was seemed to perhaps be setting on DFA. But, with a great series of LPs from Crystal Ark , Sinkane , and now Larry Gus ...DFA is having a renaissance. A little over a week after giving away a pretty great mixtape for the Construct [...]
