Video: Maceo Plex DJ-Kicks Interview
One of Maceo Plex’s stated goal with his DJ-Kicks mix was to take a forward-looking approach to the music and selection, rather than getting mired in retro-ism. That emphasis on the future seems to have extended to this video interview, which sees the DJ / producer speaking about his contribution to the DJ-Kicks series amidst some incredible 3D visuals from The Butchers.
Maceo Plex’s DJ-Kicks is out this week. Grab a free track, see tour dates, and order the album at http://www.dj-kicks.com/maceoplex

Hear the DJ-Kicks Exclusive Track “Galactic Cinema” from Maceo Plex
It’s always a pleasure when DJ-Kicks artists challenge themselves for the new piece of music they create for their mix. In keeping with the dark, futuristic feel of his set, Maceo Plex departs slightly from the disco and bassline sounds for which he’s highly regarded and delivers a complex and reflective track in “Galactic Cinema.”
Beatport will have a single featuring both “Galactic Cinema” and another DJ-Kicks exclusive track “Mind on Fire” on April 15th. The full DJ-Kicks mix comes out April 29th/30th.

Digitalism Ready New DJ-Kicks With Plenty Of Exclusives
When speaking with Jens Moelle and İsmail Tüfekçi, the two men behind Digitalism, we learned that they’re really quite big fans of DJ-Kicks. Perhaps their love of the series explains why they dug so deep for their own mix, blessing us with a heap of exclusive, unreleased Digitalism material, as well as a new edit, a new remix, two “club weapons” which have appeared in their sets for years but have yet to see an official release, and of course a connoisseur’s selection of tracks that give a window into their “sonic universe.”
We thought it was only fair to match the duo’s generosity and offer a brand new track to download. Grab “A New Drug” below, and check out the full album tracklist. Digitalism’s DJ-Kicks will be available July 10th on CD, LP & digital download, and the group will be touring internationally in support of the release.

Motor City Drum Ensemble Re-Edits Philippe Sarde
When we posted “L.O.V.E,” the exclusive Motor City Drum Ensemble DJ-Kicks track to our Soundcloud, we knew we had something special, but we didn’t know that it would become the most listened to, commented on and favorited track on our profile so far. To say thanks, we’re sharing another tasty gift from the mix with you, an exclusive MCDE extended edit of Philippe Sarde’s ‘Le Cortége Et Course.’ The original comes from the soundtrack to the 1972 film “Cesar et Rosalie,” and the full version of the edit is exclusive to the DJ-Kicks vinyl. Enjoy!
