A match made in heaven: the superb ‘DJ Kicks’ mix series from K7 teaming up with one of eclecticism’s true masters – Four Tet’s Kieran Hebden. This, believe it or not, is number 26 in the DJ Kicks series and once again fulfil’s the high standards of the previous selections. This 20 track mix album really is full of talent, ‘If I Were Only A Child Again’ by Curtis Mayfield features early on, there is a belter from Madvillain plus the excellent ‘Psychosomatic’ from personal faves Model 500. The mood rounds off with some Cabaret Voltaire and Gong in the mix with hip hop from Group Home and Showbiz & A.G. The final slice comes in the form of ‘Flutter’ from the truly brilliant Autechre and that’s that. Another spot-on selection from a DJ Kicks compiler. From now on when people ask me the dreaded question, "What sort of music are you into?". I’m just gonna tell em’ to listen to this album because it just about covers the lot. Well, well worth a listen.
