Various Artists, 'Nobody Knows Anything: DFA Presents Supersoul Recordings' (DFA/Supersoul)
More proof (like we needed it) that Germans are discomaniacal.

In those rare, recent moments when he wasn't digging up dusty "special disco versions" to DJ, LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy somehow discovered a Berlin dance label that hadn't stirred up blogosphere buzz. This double-disc set on his international Death From Abroad imprint presents a batch of analog-fueled electro (Plastique de Rêve's "Lost in the City"), ever-mutating house (Mogg & Naudascher's four-part "Moon Unit"), and space disco, released during the past two years. Supersoul honcho Xaver Naudascher emulates classic Detroit techno on "Motor City," while his synth on "Lost" cries like a cranky kid. Call it growing pains for such a young label.
