Detroit staple Moodymann has been tapped to deliver the year’s first DJ-Kicks mix for !K7. “Rather than serving up ridiculously rare or hard-to-find records, he instead focuses on creating a libidinous, blues-drenched mood that takes in heartbreaking soul, gorgeous hip-hop, and love-fuelled house,” a press release states. “In addition to cuts from his own creative circle, the mix features 11 exclusive Moodymann edits. Like everything Kenny Dixon Jr. touches, DJ-Kicks showcases the taste, skill, and soul of a dance music original.”

Moodymann’s contribution to the series follows previous installments from Actress and DJ Koze and is set to see an official release on February 19. Until then, its artwork and tracklist can be viewed below.
