Djrum has barely taken a breath since returning in spectacular fashion with the EP Meaning’s Edge in late 2024. Within two years, the British producer has released the stellar Under Tangled Silence, various remixes, and, just last month, another EP, I Wander. Now, he is completing the cycle with a DJ-Kicks mix, set for release on October 16 via the series’ !K7 home. Among the 33 tracks are exclusives from Skee Mask and Clark (plus—curveball!—the Raincoats deep cut “Only Loved at Night”). There are also four new Djrum originals; listen to one of them, “Psychic Video,” below.
Djrum recorded the album by mixing vinyl live before chopping it up in post-production, a press release notes. Also featured are tracks by Cabaret Voltaire’s Chris Watson, Venetian Snares, and Susumu Yokota. “I like things to be a bit bumpy,” Djrum says in press materials, “to have ups and downs and f*ck with expectations!”
