The New York based Disco/House label run by Ben Cook (SF) and DJ Spun (NY) announce hook up with DFA:

Rong Music and DFA have joined forces to create a new dual imprint label for the U.S. called RONG/DFA! We’re all very excited about this new joint venture and have a number of projects coming up…

Rong music has compiled a (somewhat) new take on the early 80’s underground of New York City’s No Wave sound. We’ve even coined our own name for the new sub genre - ”Not Wave.”For those of you asking, what the hell does that mean? Well, have a listen and hear for yourself! But, if ever cornered by some vinyl maniac at the local disco, our knee jerk response will be, “It’s kinda like No Wave, but Not.” I guess you could say our thoughts on the matter for making any type of compilation are, “every-thing’s been done already, so why not start off with something old and work towards a mutated version of itself.” Make sense everybody? Nahh… were just foolin with that last uptight quote, what a bunch of horse *bleep* huh? Sounds like something you’d read in a magazine.
