on purple vinyl - DFA Records is proud to announce the release of In Remembrance, a multimedia project by acclaimed contemporary artist Delia Gonzalez. Delia transplanted from Miami to New York City in the mid-1990s, working in various dance and guerilla theatre troupes. It was around this time that she met synth wizard Gavin Russom, beginning a series of multi-disciplinary collaborations, one of the most notable being their album of cosmic acid-house "The Days of Mars", released by DFA in 2005. Single "Relevee" is oft-cited as one of the high points of DFA's early years, especially the monstrous remix by Detroit techno legend Carl Craig. In Remembrance is the next landmark in Delia's artistic pursuits. The project originates in a 2010 solo show of the same name at Galleria Fonti in Naples, which was further realized in 2012. The exhibitions consisted of four 16mm ballet dance films, accompanied by music composed by Gonzalez. The films were exhibited in 2012 at Clocktower Gallery in NYC, with a live performance featuring underground musicians Bryce Hackford and Alice Cohen. Bryce Hackford contributes a second disc of remixes, turning Delia's delicate piano score into left-field club bangers.
