Ever since the first releases way back in 1995, !K7 Records’s DJ-Kicks series of mix CDs have not only featured the most interesting and exciting DJs of the era—from Carl Craig (1996) to Kode9 (2010)—playing the sound that made them the hot stuff of the moment, but each disc has been sure to close with an original track or remix from each DJ, making a formidable catalog of original music in it’s own right.

German nu-disco/deep house producer Motor City Drum Ensemble is the latest red-hot name to pick up the DJ-Kicks mantle, and his oringal track, “L.O.V.E.” is more than worthy of inclusion in the collection.

Motor City Drum Essemble’s DJ-Kicks mix CD is out July 5 on !K7 Records
