Download “A New Drug” and get the full DJ Kicks tracklist after the jump. …MORE

Maya Jane Coles Mixes Next DJ-Kicks

Coles' first-ever commercial mix forthcoming in April 

Hot off the heels of the announcement of Photek mixing the year’s first installment of DJ-Kicks (due to drop on April 3rd) comes the news of Maya Jane Coles recording the succeeding mix. The 22-track mix is Coles’ first-ever commercially available DJ mix, due out sometime in April. The mix, to be released on !K7 Records, showcases more variety and versatility than what we’ve previously heard from the reigning queen of house music. Coles says “My album, which I’m working on at the moment, has moved completely away from house music. I suppose, in a way, this  mix is preparing people for what they are going to hear next from me. My music will continue to get more diverse.” Follow the jump for album art & full tracklisting:

Photek & Kuru :: “Fountainhead”

In his two decades-long career, Photek has shaken every branch of the bass-heavy tree, from his early jungle tunes and classic minimalist drum & bass to dalliances with acid house and more recent experimentations with Burning Man-flavored “bass music,” he always seems to hit right at the heart of whatever is happening in contemporary subwoofers.

Photek has been selected to mix the latest in the long-running DJ Kicks series, and like the 39 previous kickers, who range from Carl Craig and Thievery Corporation to Kode9 and Hot Chip, he offers up an original track to go with his selections. “Fountainhead” is a collaboration with dubsteppers Kuru, and while it’s hardly surprising to see Photek move in this direction, it’s equally impressive to hear how much the style-du-jour sounds like his most prolific ’90s d&b work.
