This year marks the 20th year of the DJ-Kicks compilation series as well as their 50th release. To celebrate these milestones, they’ve enlisted the skills of Seth Troxler; currently one of the world’s most highly regarded, influential and eccentric artists.
Here’s what the man himself had to say about his creation:
“For my DJ Kicks mix I wanted to do something that was honest,” he goes on. “I went out in the morning, micro-dosed myself and did all these errands around town. Then I came home at night and did the mix one take. I wanted to curate something for people to easily listen to, that was nice, and funny and got you in the mood to do your homework, or drive that hour long trip when you need to go somewhere. I see this mix as a gay man named Rodney. Or a big black woman named Birtha.”
Seth’s mix will be released through !K7 on October 16.
