Description:
"DJ-Kicks" is a mix CD by Modeselektor that captures the Berlin duo's uncompromising approach to electronic music in the celebrated DJ-Kicks series. Across the compilation, Modeselektor thread together bass-heavy techno, warped electronica, leftfield hip hop and adventurous club tracks, creating a dynamic narrative that feels like a sweaty, late-night journey through their eclectic DJ sets. Tight transitions, surprising twists and a strong sense of groove make this CD as suitable for attentive home listening as for turning up loud at a party.
