Search - Various Artists :: DJ-Kicks: The Black Edition

Nobody will re-invent the mash-up, yet the genre continues to seek out opposites to be put through the shredder to become one schizophrenic track. DJ Kicks: The Black Edition serves as a single, flowing mash-up of 42 tracks culled from the endless !K7 catalog. Combining two songs is one matter, but mashing up an entire label has to be an all-time first. !K7 A&R master SST and enigmatic DJ Superdefekt have made sound confetti out of the house catalogue, almost eight years of miscellaneous music in just one hour. The result is a finely tuned audio zapping of the highlights of the labels favorite hits and rarities. Certainly not your average DJ-Kicks mix, it takes some astonishing twists that are sure to turn the stomachs of turntable gawkers and mixing fetishists, much to the delight of genre-crossing music freaks. Shrouded in mysterious black packaging, The Black Edition is a limited edition homage to the bootleg nature of the mash-up scene where coveted white labels are sold from the trunks of mischievous DJ?s car trunks and the basements of ahead-of-the-curve record shops. Genres are ignored and the lines between hip-hop, electro, house, soul, techno and rock are blurred until they become one mass of brilliant music, fit only for the wildest party.
