Once called ‘the most important DJ-mix series ever’ by British electronic music magazine Mixmag, is about to release DJ Kicks: The Exclusives, the latest in a string of massively successful mix albums for independent record label !K7 Records. Past mixes have included such names as DJ Cam, Annie, Four Tet, Chromeo, The Juan MacLean and Hot Chip just to name a few of the music creators you need to know about. What’s cool about this series is that each new volume contains at least one piece of music not available anywhere else. That said, what makes DJ Kicks: The Exclusives a bit different and awesome from the ones previous is that this volume contains only the tracks that the artists cut exclusively for the DJ Kicks series. Having been a member of the series for the past several years and a faithful one at that, I’m fairly new to the DJ Kicks world but from what I’ve been hearing from the exclusives, I may be talked into converting.
