name another mix that includes cuts by curtis mayfield, julian
priester, and gong, or follows akufen ("psychometry 3.2") with not
only animal collective ("baby day") but madvillain ("figaro (101
remix)") too. kieran hebden's four tet stab at the dj-kicks
series is as eclectic and as explorative as those familiar with
his recent projects (last year's everything ecstatic and the
exchange session vol. 1, his collaboration with drummer steve
reid) would expect; at the very least, the set clearly indicates
that immeasurable distance now separates his restless present-day
sensibility from rounds' 'folktronic' focus. the new disc is less
a flowing dance mix than a radio set, the kind the coolest dj
assembles for a cadre of night crawlers hungry for left-field
obscurities. though the set sidesteps stylistic pigeonholing, so
solid crew's "dilemma" and "pockets", hebden's single new
original, embrace a bleepy electro-funk style, a move that
hopefully foreshadows the next four tet incarnation (syclops'
"mom, the video broke" could just as easily be hebden under an
alias, so strongly does its loose drum attack and spacey funk
suggest his own work). the mix encompasses jazz cuts (heiner
stadler's "out-rock") and hip-hop (showbiz & a.g.'s "represent")
and features inspired choices like curtis mayfield's grooving "if
i were only a child again" and autechre's "flutter", but it's
ultimately more 'sun ra' than 'villalobos'... refreshingly so.
