eight full party shakin digitalism works (own track & remixes)

with their explosive melting pot of afrobeat, reggae, hip-hop and dancefloor jazz, 10-piece ensemble the strides has already won over a steadfast following in australia. after a lengthy series of gigs that includes supporting afrobeat legend tony allen and becoming a headline act at both the bellingen global carnival and peats ridge festival, this dynamic outfit is ready to launch its new album “reclamation” on record kicks. with a heavy rhythm section and a powerful 3-piece horn section, the strides deliver a captivating blend of funky afrobeat, roots reggae, hip hop grooves, dubbed out beats, and hypnotic rhythms.

the next release coming out of the roska camp is this smart vinyl-only followup to the roska allstars release. this second instalment brings more of the same versatile movements from some fantastic producers currently leading the way for upfront danceable material. main man roska signs up terror danjah to pull of a smart remix of his track >without it<. its somewhat of a guilty pleasure hearing both artists signature idents in one song, terror with his evil gremlin laugh and roska with his ubiquitous shout out! however its all about the arrangement here as terror reforms those original trumpet sounds and adds some heavy distorted bass. j:kenzo serves up >let it move< which is all out pure electro style with punchy drums and dirty synths, again lending to the surprising nature of this labels output. tickles completes the vinyl only package with >da growler<. drums are tougher than iron and bass harder than rock as tickles blends funky, dubstep and house into his own dance-floor destructive mould. all three records show a different side to the current uk bass and funky scene, yet they somehow could only belong on kicks & snares. a fine package for a burgeoning label.

this is a mix cd with a rather interesting twist - none of the tunes are actually mixed at all, instaed carl craig focuses on studio magic to give one long constant stream of supurb house and techno form across europe and america, with a particular emphasis on the unmistakable dutch house sound

bangin bassheavy uk funky madness

goosebumps ep feat remixes from jamie george (wonderful day vocalist) and bristol dubstep don gemmy. this is dj naughtys second release on the kicks & snares. deep subs driven funky with lustrous bass offset by hard snares and synched to dubby organ stabs to help hone your marcus nasty look.

that juan maclean is just a bundle of contradictions. here hes created one of the years best mix cds and not just a proper party mix, which it certainly is, but even what you might call an >important< mix, a timely lesson in the enduring spirit of house musicÑand how does he choose to describe the process of putting it together? as an >existential tailspin<!

without new jersey native kerri ‘kaoz’ chandler, house—specifically deep house—would sound very different. ever since his teens he has been making and playing music with a unique sense of soul, jazz and deepness. from majors like atlantic, king street sounds and nervous via his own madhouse, his releases are never short of genre-defining classics that have spawned a thousand copycats. affectionately referred to as the stevie wonder of house, kerri’s dj sets take him all over the world and often find him playing live keys next to his informed selections. he’s meticulous about sound, too, which means that no-ones kicks hit quite like kerri’s. his instantly classic and timeless dj-kicks mix, though, takes him out of the club and through a world of influences and inspiration.
the double vinyl is housed in a gatefold sleeve with download code included.

als musiker ist kieran hebden f³r seine hausgemachten exkursionen in unerforschte musikalische gefilde bekannt, als dj schlõgt er jedoch eine vollkommen andere richtung ein. das ergebnis dessen ist seine beispielhafte dj kicks-compilation.

although james holdens contribution to! k7s seminal dj-kicks series may appear eclectic on the face of things, his is a mix that beats with a vital lifeblood, united by feeling and mood, if not by pigeonhole.

despite dfas disco pedigree, the juan macleans dj-kicks mix is a love letter to straight-up house music. its a driving, sweaty session thick with pumping keys, chunky drum-machine beats and chopped vocals, and it cuts confidently through the sweetest hour of dancefloor communion with filters billowing like sails. recorded specifically for the mix, the juan macleans new single >feel so good< is a perfect distillation of that vibe.

after releasing 2 albums (she s in control and fancy footwork), hitting the dancefloors / attacking the charts with you re so gangsta and needy girl, remixing the likes of cut copy and lenny kravitz, feist and vampire weekend, and years of jet setting and globetrotting ... the time is right for them doing their take on dj kicks. a match made in...
teenage lovers, 20 something bloggers, 30 something burned out ex ravers and 40 something sistas can all finally party under one roof with this slick, sleek, smoothed out mix. a tribute to canada of sorts, as it includes so many maple leaf underground classics and obscurities. obviously there some unreleased versions (chateau marmont most notably) and of course the dj-kicks exclusive track, with chromeo fucking around with the eagles classic >i cant tell why< which comes in 2 versions and will get a separate 7 inch release also.

16 billion drum kicks is the new major sino outing introducing brazil’s top electronic music producer, renato cohen. it delivers here a cleverly produced fusion of tribal-esque grooves, samba jazz and funk amalgamated onto its firm foundation of its dancefloor techno roots. with the help of legendary guest artists such as 70’s brazilian samba rock marku ribas, sao paolo’s samba virtuoso bocato and techno hero technasia, amongst others, renato conveys a combination of sonic subtleties and frenetic nuances that takes the listener through a myriad of emotions. a first fresh album sure to build on you, it is both a gem to listen in a relaxed state of mind as well when engaged in lightning pace.
