Last track is the one I keep on my iPod

Nice having the first 16 unmixed tracks for study and reference. The last mixed track is the one that I keep on my iTouch. Apparat is a great technician and stylist.

Some tracks are missing

This compilation is superb, but there are some tracks missing. It should be totally 24 tracks.

It's good.

Yes, it is.

This is worth it for Track 17 alone...

gdyork

I wasn't exactly floored by the individual tracks but I highly recommend this based soley on the continuous mix track.

Only listened to the mix so far, but it's excellent.

Great tracks, great mix

Whimper

Great deal, as the 17th track isn't just a mix of the previous 16, but a solid and cohesive blend of those with about 8 other songs not included individually (such as Thom Yorke's Harrowdown Hill and a track by Pantha Du Prince). If you look up this album elsewhere on the net you'll find the alternate track listing for the clips included in the DJ-KiCKS Mix track.

Based in: London, England For an artist who adopted the moniker theNormal, Daniel Miller's life and career have been anything but.

They Say All Music Guide

The selections on Sascha Ring’s contribution to the !K7 label’s DJ-Kicks series date back to the early ‘90s, but there’s technically no looking back on the part of the DJ/producer. They’ve all been “recently discovered.” The majority of this set does originate from 2006-2010, incorporating lean dubstep and streamlined techno with a couple outliers. 69’s “Rushed,” released by Carl Craig in 1993, is easily the most physical and intense of the lot. Strangely, it’s deployed as the second track in the sequence. Very shortly thereafter, the mix switches from charging to relatively sedate — alternately melodic and abstract material suited more for home listening than clubbing. A handful of the highlights come off newer dubstep/post-dubstep 12″ releases: Cosmin TRG’s scuffling “Tower Block,” Ramadanman’s pinging/churning “Tempest,” and Joy Orbison’s buoyant “The Shrew Would Have Cushioned the Blow” (the latter two of which were included on Scuba’s earlier Sub:Stance mix). Ring’s own “Sayulita,” an exclusive, is one of his most evocative, dynamic productions of late, full of space and percussive friction. – Andy Kellman
