DFA records - Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars PSP video game - listen here...

dfa records logoPart two music reveals from the exclusive soundtrack of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for PSP brings us a special selection from the label credited with reigniting New York's dance-punk scene, and the guys behind the twice Grammy-nominated band LCD Soundsystem: DFA Records.

Founded in 2001 by James Murphy, Tim Goldsworthy and Jonathan Galkin, DFA have had a constant string of successes, starting with their initial signing of Grand Theft Auto IV soundtrack guests The Rapture through to the successes of LCD Soundsystem's two albums and singles including "Daft Punk Is Playing At My House" and "Get Innocuous" (also found on the soundtrack to Grand Theft Auto IV).

With a modern twist on the influences of early 80's bands that blended dance music and rock such as Talking Heads, Blondie and New Order, DFA is currently home to such bands as The Juan Maclean, Holy Ghost! and Yacht. Meanwhile, in between LCD Soundsystem shows, James Murphy and Tim Goldsworthy are succesful touring DJ's in their own right. Take a listen to a clip from the DFA station in Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars PSP below:
