The compilation includes 25 tracks
Since 1993 Dj Kicks has been a staple in the industry delivering some of the best album compilations to date. Featuring artists like Carl Craig, Kruder & Dorfmeister and Nightmares on Wax to name a few, the series behind !K7 Records invited Detroit artist and Ghostly International Co-founder Matthew Dear to craft their latest installment.
In Dear’s own words – “There are snippets of friends and family strewn throughout the mix. A lot of the vocal interludes you hear are from a portable recorder I’ve carried with me over the years.”
The album includes three new tunes from from Dear himself, one under his own name and two as Audion. The mix also includes cuts by artists as diverse as Thatmanmonkz and Matrixxmann, ItaloJohnson and Pearson Sound, Randomer and Simian Mobile Disco.
He continued – “I always have a lot of unreleased music laying around, those I included on here seemed to fit. A mix like this is always a good place to showcase my own productions, but I didn’t want to oversaturate it with my own stuff. I wanted to create a mix that could be listened to anywhere, and reflect a little bit of everything that I play. Whether you’re in your car, preparing to open the club, or having a bottle of wine with friends at home, this mix is for you.”
