Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

He’s the Juan

Following the 2001 dissolution of his acclaimed post-hardcore band, Six Finger Satellite, Juan MacLean quit music. It was only at the urging of one-time SFS producer — and LCD Soundsystem founder — James Murphy a few years later that MacLean began experimenting with electronic music. It’s a good thing he did. Based in NYC and recording as the Juan MacLean, he is now a star of underground dance music. He has several highly regarded albums under his belt, and scores of provocative remixes for artists ranging from Chromeo to Passion Pit to Stevie Nicks. In what is something of a Black Friday tradition, MacLean plays the 1/2 Lounge in Burlington this Friday, November 23, with Kaviar Disco Club, Marosy and Pixelife.
