Still Kicking

Blood Orange, Yves Tumor, Ian Isiah Smoke - Remix (2018)

Launched in 1995 by the German label !K7 Records, DJ-Kicks is one of the longest-running and most respected mix series out there. Each installment is curated by a different DJ, producer or artist. And while they mostly come from the world of electronic dance music, these mixes aren’t just packed with club bangers—they often showcase personal influences, rare finds and exclusive tracks.

The latest edition comes from Logic1000, aka Berlin-based Australian producer and DJ Samantha Poulter. Her mix is an eclectic selection of lush tunes spanning the past 30 years. Alongside the trip-hop banger and the promising experimental pop tune we featured the other day, today’s song made the cut: “Smoke - Remix”, a melancholic yet ultra vibey collaboration between British-American indie-anything icon Blood Orange, American experimentalist-turned-glam-rocker Yves Tumor, and NYC-based lo-fi-R’n’B-expert Ian Isiah.
