Customer Reviews of DJ Kicks
Rounding up fresh interpretations of classic sounds With Thievery Corporation recently showing the verve that makes them tick (darling Sounds From the Verve Hi-Fi) it seems an appropriate time to connect those inspirations to the records that gave them DJ kicks circa 1999.
The aforementioned series stands out among a sea of nameless mixes by encouraging artists to pick whatever vinyl goodies tickled their fancy. Results have always yielded surprises, a diverse array of music tied to the tastes of the selector.
Thievery Corporation's set has all their expected elements. Tropical je ne sai quoi with plucky guitar on Les Baxter "Tropicando," lively nu-jazz treasure from stalwarts Jazzanova and Rainer Truby Trio, and Jamaican dub from Rockers Hi-Fi and Thievery's own delightfully downbeat "Mother Africa." The real finds, however, are the Indian breakbeat excursions, Up Bustle & Out's "Emerald Alley" the primer followed wonderfully by The Karminsky Experience Inc's go-go space journey (complete with 60's movie samples) "Exploration."
Rounding up fresh interpretations of classic sounds sounded like a winner from the onset, and this DJ Kicks carries the concept one step further. Not everyone will love everything here, but Thievery Corporation do a wonderful job guiding you through such diverse musical fields.
Best of all the DJ Kicks series! And that is saying a lot!
Just when you thought that Eric Hilton & Rob Garza of the Thievery Corporation couldn't top "Sounds from the Thievery Hi-Fi," (Eighteenth Street Lounge Records, 1997) they drop "Thievery Corporation - DJ Kicks" on us! Amazing sh!t!
Run, don't walk to buy this great mix album which basically puts the Thievery Corp sound into one great mix. With amazing mixes of Jazzanova, Bobby Matos, DJ Cam, Up Bustle & Out, Rockers Hi-Fi, and many, many more- you won't be disappointed. Jazzy, global, groovy, downtempo, heavy beats, just amazing sounds.
I love the DJ Kicks series in general and I'd say this is even better than the Kruder & Dorfmeister - DJ Kicks and the DJ Cam - DJ Kicks, which is saying a lot for me.
Thievery Corporation have really created a vibe that is uniquely theirs. The closest one might get to a similar feel is maybe the new United Future Organization album "Bon Voyage" (Brownswood/Mercury Music, 1999) which was recently released in Tokyo to rave reviews.
UFO holds court in Tokyo and Thievery Corp. own Washington D.C. Get 'em both, I say!
More class grooves...
Like their Austrian peers, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Thievery Corporation know how to mix and, like K&D, their "DJ Kicks" album is a class act in both its production and its selection of tracks. More down-tempo than K&D's offering but equally interesting in its sequencing, it scans a broader palette of styles from bossa-nova, through Indian sitars to deep Jamaican dub. Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen?... well, not here, because in these guys' hands each track is integrated seamlessly into an hour long musical journey that's held together by lock-tight beats and overlays. Genuinely interesting and perfectly crafted it's another example of just how good "laid-back" club music can be in the hands of people who know what's out there and how it should be delivered.
