DJ-Kicks

VINYL FORMAT. Danilo was always incredibly young with things. He started producing at the age of eleven, having his first release out just five years later: Inverse Cinematics' Slow Swing, which ended up finding its way into Ricardo Villalobos' record bag as well as onto one of the first Fabric mix CDs. An album under the same name and a string of EPs followed. Dailo's latest releases, the Motor City Drum Ensemble's Raw Cuts series had the house music world responding strongly to the charmingly fresh and dirty sounding tracks, all mixed down in spontaneous two-hour sessions. His understanding of how the parts of a track can work has never been more apparent than on his DJ-Kicks mix. He has an amazing ability to fuse totally disparate sound aesthetics into a coherent whole.
