good news...really love the DJ Kicks series and have discovered a wealth of interesting and wonderful bits from their previous releases with Booka Shade, Four Tet etc...I hope Burial provides material that is both influential for him, plus relatively unknown amongst the scene.

Choosing him as an artist seems a strange choice though- I didn't think he mixed? and he's not known as a DJ at all? K7 pikcing their profits i guess :roll: .

Still, really interested to hear this and will definately pick it up.

ps; why 2LP if it's mixed anyway? Or is there some exclusivity acoming?

Suddenly, there was a terrible roar all around us, and the sky was full with what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, and a voice was screaming:
Holy Jesus. What are these goddamn animals?

Interestink selecy though. Far more important than the mix on a CD.

Lots of mixes come out as 2 or 3 LPs with choice tunes unmixed.

Wow, probably one of the last things I expected to happen (Not that I ever really give any thought about who will or won't do a DJ Kicks mix)

DJ-Kicks started out in 1995 as a compilation of electronic DJ club-style mixes in the techno or house genres, with the then-novel twist of being targeted to a home listening audience. Soon afterwards, both the choice of compilers and the genres included were expanded: In addition to DJs, more and more producers (like Terranova), remixers (like Kruder & Dorfmeister), bands (like the Stereo MCs) and musicians (like Nicolette) compiled DJ-Kicks albums. The actual music began to vary wildly as well, ranging from Trüby Trio's downbeat jazz sound to Kemistry & Storm's aggressive drum and bass. Still, all contributions remain broadly within the electronic music genre.

The first DJ-Kicks release was C.J. Bolland's in 1995, and the series is still regularly expanded. As of October 2006, there are 28 releases in the series, with a release rate of roughly two to three new ones each year. Some of the DJ-Kicks mixes are very popular and counted among the regular albums of the compiler, most notably the one by Kruder & Dorfmeister. The DJ-Kicks series has been called "the most important DJ-mix series ever" by Mixmag. The 26th release was a special celebratory (and unmixed) "best of" compilation, DJ-Kicks: The Exclusives. It consisted of original tracks by the DJs who had mixed the earlier albums in the series.
