Much might be made of the tracklisting's eclectic nature, but let me say unequivocally that this is most definitely music-for-dancing-to that enraptures our most basic instincts to do so, even if it doesn't come pre-stamped with the term "dance music". You'll see.
And more than just his latest mix CD installment, the DJ Kicks formula also provides a vehicle for some new original Holden music, in the form of new single 'Triangle Folds', which will emerge in two lascivious alternative versions on an accompanying vinyl release. The eagle-eyed will also note the presence of a certain previously-unreleased Holden remix of our teenage heroes Mogwai, which will also finally be available for your own DJing pleasure on the downright essential DJ-Kicks double vinyl package, along with the hitherto unavailable on vinyl Luke Abbott remix of Mit's 'Rauch' and an exclusive preview of 'Soft Attacks' from the same Luke Abbott's forthcoming Border Community album 'Holkham Drones' - and many more goodies besides. Exciting times we live in, no?
