Just in time for your first summer barbecue-turned-dance party comes a pair of DJ mixes courtesy of !K7’s illustrious DJ-KiCKS series. First up is UK progressive-house savant James Holden, and his 20-track exploration of the more ambient and jazzy influences that color his production work. Many surprising names pop up in his set list—including post-rock veterans Mogwai, Black Dice’s Eric Copeland, and experimental electronic two-piece Lucky Dragons—next to Holden’s brand-new track, “Triangle Folds.” Following the May 24 release date of Holden’s mix is another exciting batch of tracks presented by Kode9. Available June 21, the mix CD’s tracklist has yet to be unveiled, but one could safely wager it will contain tunes old and new from producer Steve Goodman’s Hyperdub label. Before his DJ-KiCKS offering is released, Kode9 will finish out a handful of US tour dates along with Flying Lotus. Check the info for those shows, and the full tracklist for James Holden’s mix, below.
