Digitalism kept this in mind as inspiration, and decided to go a step further and include quite a lot of new material – in the final mix we find six new tracks as well as a treasure trove of brand new edits and remixes custom made by Moelle and Tüfekçi. Many of the group's favourite DJ-Kicks mixes feature exclusive tracks, remixes, etc. It shouldn't be just another contemporary (see, there's the word "temporary") DJ mix." The goal was to unite new Digitalism music and "timeless pieces that describe us and our sound. ![]() Moelle and Tüfekçi wanted to represent their history as DJs, their "sonic universe" as they call it, and thereby the journey they've travelled over the last years along with friends like Justice, 2Many DJ´s, Soulwax, Erol Alkan, Boys Noize and Pedro Winter. The backbone of the mix is a healthy portion of new exclusive Digitalism material, fleshed out with choice tracks by Optimo, Alex Gopher, WhoMadeWho, Vitalic, The Rapture, and many more. Impetuous, full of attitude, and just a bit cocky, the sounds shift challengingly between electro rock and synth-pop, new wave and trance, techno and disco punk and pop glamour. Summer 2012 is Digitalism's time a statement for which the mix they've created is as compelling an argument as any. Their favourite contributions include Tiga's mix ("his mix was the essence of edgy and cold electro-techno."), the Playgroup mix ("more really playful stuff.)" and Erlend Oye's mix ("cause he sung over a lot of stuff and had some favorites like Jürgen Paape, the collaboration with Morgan Geist and Avenue D (2D2F) on it."). Twelve years ago, the duo met as two record store workers in Hamburg, admiringly selling the DJ-Kicks series to their customers, and appreciating the dexterity of the mixes and range of artists who assembled each mix. For these two young Germans, Jens Moelle and Ismail Tüfekçi, joining the ranks of contributors to the series was nothing short of a dream come true. Digitalism has lovingly created a mix for !K7's legendary DJ-Kicks series. ![]()
