john Talabot
dj kicks
K7
acclaimed spanish house producer & dj crafts a seamless mix of experimental dancefloor grooves with a focus on the sort of cosy ambient melodies talabot threads through his own tracks.
opening with the fantastic ‘journey to the centre of the sun’, a single by north lake on the resista label that grows light & colour gradually & euphorically like the dawn, talabot touches on the hypnotic slow-mo disco of pye corner audio, cutting edge dancefloor genius andy stott’s sparse, melodic reworking of maps, new york techno outside madteo with his gaseous, percussive ‘we doubt (you can make it)’ plus tracks from motor city drum ensemble, dj jus-ed & more. particular highlights come in john’s exclusive production ‘without you’, that furthers the minimalist, soulful house sound of his album ‘fin’ & the talaboman collaboration, a techno paced cut highly reminiscent of recent four tet tracks. the lp features a reduced tracklist but includes those cuts in full including mix highlight unknown ‘#001’.
