John Talabot has a DJ Kicks compilation forthcoming and ‘Without You’ is a new slower-than-usual track from the Barcelona man featured on the mix along with tracks from Pye Corner Audio, Unknown, Motor City Drum Ensemble, Moodyman, Andy Stott plus a collaboration with Axel Boman ‘Sideral’.
With the mix, Talabot has stuck to showcasing his influences and has put tracks on there from his early DJ days and from tracks heard in Barcelona clubs, including. ‘I Love’ by Paradise’s Deep Groove which is from 1992.
“It’s not a mix to dance to. It starts really slow, 90bpm or something like that. It has some dance tracks towards the beginning, but as it progresses it chills out. It’s not an easy mix. It’s quite strange. It doesn’t really build up in the way many mixes do. A lot of the tracks I’ve never played in a club because they wouldn’t work. It’s definitely not a club mix. When I DJ in a club at 4AM I play a dance-oriented set, but I wanted my DJ Kicks mix to show a different side of me, where I come from and what my influences are.”
