The amazing DJ-KiCKS compilations, is a this moment counting 33. With artist like Terranova, Thievery Corp, Nightmares on Wax, Tiga, Erlend Oye, Four Tet, Henrik Schwarz, Booka Shade, Chromeo and last but not least the infamous Kruder & Dorfmeister.

The fore mentioned compilations are favorites of Jet Lag Society

The first compilation was released in 1995 and was a collaboration with C.J Bollard. The newest in the venerable line of compilations is with british producer and remixer James Holden.

The different genre and style of every collaboration makes the line of compilations so much more impressive and I assure you, you'll love at least one of them.

It's not only his ability to make songs, it's far more the way he compile and mix the compilations.

This was a shout out to everybody, go listen to DJ-KiCKS and you will be blown away

This is a mix of Booka Shade song "Numbers" featured on the DJ-KiCKS: Booka Shade compilation from 2007



Enjoy!
