John Talabot DJ-Kicks

Spanish producer John Talabot will be the man behind the next instalment of the highly regarded DJ-Kicks series.

In recent times, acts such as Maya Jane Coles, Digitalism and Gold Panda have stepped up to provide mixes of varying natures, and now it's the turn of the Barcelona producer and Hivern Discs label boss.

As is customary with the DJ-Kicks series, an exclusive track by the creator is always included somewhere in the duration, but Talabot has gone one better and provided two exclusive cuts in his 27-track mix. One is a solo effort called 'Without You', and the other is a collaboration with Axel Boman titled 'Sideral' under the moniker of Talaboman.

When asked about the mix, Talabot indicated that it is one that looks into his influences rather than it being a straight up club mix:

"I thought that it would be good if people could discover what my influences are, where I've come from, the people that I admire and tracks that have been important to me over the last ten years, plus some tracks on my label that have never been released."
