Will Saul To Mix New DJ-Kicks Compilation

Despite being a vintage 12 months for electronic music in most respects, the compilations of 2013 were undoubtedly the Achilles heel of that year with only a handful of releases by some of the more esteemed compilation series really grabbing our attention and delivering the ‘wow’ factor. One of those series that consistently impressed was undoubtedly been IK7’s DJ-Kicks and so you can imagine our excitement at the announcement of the them hooking up with fellow DT favourites Aus head honcho Will Saul for their next edition in 2014.

To further ramp up excitement ahead of the mix’s June 16th release Will has shared a brand new track from Irish duo Bicep entitled ‘Nova’ that will be making its way onto the release. Heavy on the bass, the new tune harks back to the UK’s rave era with an emphasis on synth lines that reflects Saul’s ambition to craft “a mix that rekindles the thing [he] loved about listening to mixes 20 years ago.”

In addition to ‘Nova’  a quick look at the tracklist of Will Saul’s edition quickly reveals a plethora of other unreleased tracks both from himself and his various labels alongside cuts from the likes of George FitzGerald, Leon Vynehall, Gerry Read, Legowelt, Marquis Hawkes, and Youandewan.
