DJ Kicks Series Again Proves Reliable

"When it comes to buying Mix CDs, one should look no further than the DJ Kicks collection. Andrea Parker slices and dices with the best of them with fairly brooding and dark undercurrents. She opens with her (very good) mix of Depeche Mode's It's No Good and slides seamlessly into Dr. Octogan's Earth People...and it all seems perfectly appropriate and ecletic. Other times, transitions come off choppy. Parker's DJ Kicks lacks the overall sweeping collective of DJ Kicks contributions from Kruder & Dorfmeister and Thievery Corporation. Nonetheless, it is a fine body of work, that any electronic music listener would like to have."
A masterful display of Andrea Parker's eclectic taste.

"Yet another installation of the Dj-Kicks series and yet another winner.This one comes with a diverse selection of electro, hip-hop and other things electronica from a DJ known for her dark compositions. Andrea Parker's eclectic tastes are showcased masterfully in this compilation."
Repeated listenings may bring tears

"somehow in this mix Parker draws you through the full history of YOUR scene, or whatever, and makes you feel new again with its almost absolute refusal to descend into the irony which so often in my view plagues other attempts at mixing such an aged and eclectic set. Righteous Listening."
A fun CD...

"...but has a lot of dark elements as well. It's addicting...can't stop listening to it!"
