for a man known primarily for his home made excursions to the far
reaches of the musical map, kieran hebden as a dj is a different
kind of trip, the gratifying results of which can be seen all over
this exemplary dj kicks compilation (the 26th in this now
legendary series).
"i've done previous compilations based around music that's been
influential to me, just picking a bunch of records that i like.
this time i wanted to make something that was more upbeat, stuff i
might play out in a club and that draws from my recent experience
as a dj," he says. inspired by his 8 hours sets at the end and in
ibiza with timo maas, kieran says he has rediscovered the thrill
of filling a floor: "playing for people who just want to dance is
an exciting thing for someone who┤s into experimental music."
as you might expect with four tet, however, nothing is ever that
straight-forward, and his dj kicks is a mind blowing experience,
taking in just about as many genres as there are tracks (which is
20). old skool hip-hop, french prog, conscious soul, electronic
experimentation, minimal techno, early two-step, cosmic jazz,
african thumb pianos and much more besides share space here, bound
together by analogue synth interludes, segues and an exclusive new
four tet track specially created for this compilation. "i tried to
come up with interesting ways of getting from one track to
another," says kieran, alluding to the sometimes head-cleansing
pure tones that allow him to pass between seemingly incongruous
musical states. "i asked myself what i can do that's different and
sits apart from other dj compilations?" the answer is apparently -
everything.
