Daniel Avery is a firm believer in the transformative power of music. Avery’s belief in the unique alchemy that takes place when a DJ crafts a mix or a live set acted as a guiding force during the creation of his DJ-Kicks. Across its 78 minutes Avery’s mix creates a hypnotic space focusing on “music by like-minded souls” from the outer reaches of techno including international talents Svreca, Rrose, Artefakt and IORI. It is a mix concerned with the idea of taking a collective breath and allowing records their own time.

A striking animated visual from Kevin Freeney premieres today for DJ-Kicks’ ambient closing track ‘Space Echo,’ the start of some long-awaited new material from Avery.
The mix features three new original Avery productions including a track from Rote, a project with BleeD boss Volte-Face. It follows three years’ worth of studio experimentation in-between a life spent on the road touring the enormous success of debut record, Drone Logic, released in 2013 on Erol Alkan’s wildly psychedelic Phantasy label.
Avery’s DJ-Kicks album stands as a testament to the strength of the current state of affairs in underground electronic music, borne out of one of its most original talents.
Daniel Avery’s DJ-Kicks is released 11th November 2016. Pre-orders are available now.
