{"product_id":"dj-kicks-32","title":"DJ-Kicks","description":"Photographer: Chris Arace.\u003cbr\u003eMatthew Dear's addition to the !K7 label's DJ-Kicks series follows Fabric 27 (2006) and Body Language, Vol. 7 (2008) as the artist's third commercially available mix album. Like the preceding two, the selections are up to date, with only an Alex \u0026amp; Digby edit of Gary Sloan and Clone's \"Harmonitalk\" (1980) potentially making the listener feel transported to another era (à la Mixed Up in the Hague). After a gentle instrumental from Nils Frahm, Dear leads into the mix with a turbulent dancefloor ballad, one of his hypnotic, slightly unsettling best. It plays out for its duration, after which Dear sequences finely detailed and near-brutal selections that blur into one another. After the mix seems to peak with a section of battering Simian Mobile Disco, Pearson Sound, and Soulphiction tracks, Dear ratchets up the intensity with a clutch of his Audion productions. Punctuated by DJ Khalab (and Baba Sissoko)'s rolling and disorienting \"Kumu,\" this is Dear's funnest and oddest mix yet. ~ Andy Kellman","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50504872231199,"sku":"730003734625","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/47b13e77075ec2778d5417ea663e278c_be74be66-c676-4810-b4a2-3f7dd8838d8b.jpg?v=1777745406","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/dj-kicks-32","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
