Review:
Strangely, DFA chose not to do much promotion on this latest single from long-serving label stalwart the Juan MacLean. It seems a little odd, because "What Do You Feel Free About?" is one of MacLean's most attractive singles for sometime. Seemingly a thinly veiled commentary on America in 2018 featuring vocals from regular collaborator Nancy Whang, the track is a rip-roaring fusion of whistle-heavy late '80s Chicago house, boisterous organ-heavy New York house and the kind of driving, percussion-rich disco that MacLean has always done so well. Man Power drags the track down a sleazy sex dungeon on his terrific accompanying remix, which re-casts the track as a stomping, arpeggio-driven slab of muscular late night house rich in dark arpeggio lines, reverb-laden organs and all manner of mind-altering electronics.
