Red Bull’s music arm, the Red Bull Music Academy have released a new short film focussing on the founding and subsequent rise of New York label DFA Records.
Produced to mark the James Murphy-run imprint’s 12th anniversary, the 13 min documentary entitled Too Old to Be New, Too New to Be Classic features interviews with the LCD Soundsystem frontman himself, co-founder Jonathan Galkin, as well as members of YACHT and The Rapture.
It begins: ”The year is 2001, the place is New York City. George Bush is president and a sub-culture of young adults living off their overly-supportive parents have just earned the moniker ‘hipsters’.”
