    Soak in the meditative, obsidian rhythms and it’s almost like relaxing in a Berghain cubicle.

    It’s the DJ’s own efforts that are the most striking, yet this mix isn’t about big tracks per se; it's more about building a lost-in-the-moment mood. In that, it succeeds tremendously, and offers an intriguing glimpse at a new chapter in Daniel Avery’s story.

    It's a rock-solid techno mix with few surprises or left turns. Avery can hold his own in this style, but a collection of tracks from artists like Planetary Assault Systems, Shlømo and Artefakt might not have the same crossover appeal he's used to. That said, the mix is still full of drama and striking moments.

    This isn’t going to win over any newcomers but, when you tune in to its ebbing and flowing intensities, it can be totally transporting.

    If you're not in a particular mood, listening to this can be a chore. If you are in the mood, though, this is another solid entry in a series full of them.

    Daniel Avery’s DJ-Kicks does nothing ground breaking and for a listener familiar with his productions and sets, will excite only for the new material it contains.
