!K7's DJ Kicks series are basically legendary. Even from way back when this series was just getting started, you just knew that when you listened to a DJ Kicks mix, you were listening to a slice of the best. That reputation has never been lost and Apparat does not disappoint.

Kicking off with one of his own productions called "Circles", the feathery, falsetto choir ambience gives way to a flurry of synth keys in 69's "Rushed", that settle back to heaven when an unreleased Telefon Tel Aviv track called "Lenghtening Shadows" floats in.

As you can expect from an Apparat selection, the mood throughout this mix is light, minimal, airy, and irreproachably synthetic. One especially great moment is when the distorted vibe-like keys of Patrice Baumel's "Sub" are looped over the entirety of Martyn's "Miniluv". The effect is serious. Another highlight is Burial & Four Tet's "Moth".

Throughout these 24 selections you'll get your fill of warm-toned bleeps, 80s affected synth leads, and minimal beats. Of course, being flavor du jour, you'll also get some nibbles of chillwave vibes.
