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.
