"Maclean was guitarist for the indie Dance-punk band Six Finger Satellite, based in Providence, Rhode Island. The band was struck by several tragedies, and Maclean eventually moved into production duties, utilizing his home studio in Providence (nicknamed "The Parlor"). Eventually James Murphy joined the band as sound engineer (where he became known for a punishing tour PA setup, which he nicknamed "Death From Above").
Eventually the band broke up, and Maclean spent several years out of the music business, getting a degree at the Providence College and teaching English in New Hampshire. He continued a friendship with Murphy, who moved to New York City and founded influential dance-punk label DFA Records and started LCD Soundsystem. Murphy urged Maclean to get back into music, and got Maclean experimenting with modern electronic mixing equipment; DFA would include several Maclean compositions on compilation records.
His first full length album on the label, Less Than Human, was released in July 2005.
Maclean toured America tour in Fall 2006 in support of The DFA Remixes Chapter 2.
On videos for "Give Me Every Little Thing" and "Tito's Way", MacLean is joined by tour drummer Jerry Fuchs. Other touring members include Eric Broucek and Nicholas Millhiser, and "Dance With Me" features vocalist Nancy Whang of LCD Soundsystem. The video for "Give Me Every Little Thing" was directed by Ben Dickenson of Waverly Films. The video for "Tito's Way" was directed by Adam Levite as Associates in Science.
In March 2008 The Juan MacLean released the single "Happy House". This was followed by a tour with Australian band Cut Copy and label-mates Shocking Pinks. This is to be followed by another single called "The Simple Life" and the album The Future Will Come in early-2009." - Wikipedia

NADASTROM
(Dave Nada and Matt Nordstrom, Dubsided Records)

"Dave Nada consistently proves to be one of the most electrifying and effective DJ's around. Recently acquired by AM Only, Nada joins an impressive roster including everyone from the Crookers and MSTRKRFT to Richie Hawtin and Tiesto. He is a longstanding resident at Taxlo, voted "best party in America" by Blender Magazine. DJ Craze will soon break from his duties as Kanye West's official DJ to join Nada in an international tour, which kicks off in Singapore. Previous DJ tours include regular cross-continental dates with Tittsworth, invites to Australia, festival gigs in Puerto Rico and more. Even in a time of declining record sales, Dave Nada's regular releases on T&A (label of Tittsworth & DJ Ayres, of The Rub) rapidly sell out. Matt Nordstrom is responsible for production of the highest caliber. His studio work includes longstanding efforts with Grammy Award-winning, internationally chart-topping, Global Underground artists. Widely regarded as a leading cutting edge label of its scene, Nic Fanciulli's Saved imprint offered Nordstrom a multiple record deal, where he would join Pete Tong and a long list of trend setters. Having held numerous residencies in the DC area, he is also synonymous with razor tight mixing and impeccable selection. The two join forces as NADASTROM, forming the pinnacle of production and DJ'ing. Switch (XLR8R's artist of the year and M.I.A.'s album producer) quickly invited the duo to join the legendary imprint Dubsided for a fast approaching record release. Nadastrom tracks are trainspotted by countless A-list DJ's (Diplo, Drop The Lime, A-trak, etc.) and their collaborative efforts include work with Nina Sky, Pitbull, Stretch Armstrong, Kid Sister, Tittsworth, Blaqstarr and more. Uncompromising quality in the studio and on the decks, Nadastrom is without a doubt "the future" of music, as Scottie B once appropriately remarked."
