Synopsis

Album Description

The DJ Kicks series is very proud to present - 'DJ Kicks - Playgroup'. The stunning mix was produced by London's Trevor Jackson, the mastermind behind the highly acclaimed Playgroup project. For it, Trevor Jackson came up with a selection that reflects many of his musical influences from the past years. You'll find all time heroes like the Human League or KC Flightt as well as current hotsters like Smith 'N' Hack or Metro Area. There's New Yorks no-wave revivalists The Rapture close to original punk funksters The Flying Lizards, Manchester's Jay Walk & the great I Cube Mix of Ana Rago. Trevor Jackson blends music from more than two decades of club & dance culture into a superbly funked up mix. No doubt, the 'DJ-Kicks - Playgroup' will boost Mr. Jackson into orbit. K7. 2002.

CD Reviews

Electro heaven!

12/20/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I have a few electro compilations that feature Trevor Jackson's (Playgroup) work and liked that stuff tremendously. Also, I am very critical and picky about my music and what I rave about. I have to say this is probably my favorite album of the year. Inherently dance-y, '80's influenced, but not entirely of that era, if you weep sofly with glee when you hear Yaz in a club, then look no further. Songs don't last long enough for you to get bored with them and some of the segues are phenomenal. And I haven't heard of practically all the artists on the CD, so it opened me up to some real hip stuff as well. Just awesome."

Sleazy and fun.

"Having been so enraptured of this guy's "Party Mix V.1" that I promptly made copies for all of my friends, purchasing Jackson's "DJ-Kicks" installment was a no-brainer, despite some overlap in the tracklisting ("Tainted Love," "Broken Mirror"). It's a slow-burner that simply grooves right along, gradually picking up speed. When Adam Goldstone's "The Sky is Not Crying" started to filter in, I just about leapt out of the chair. This has been one of my favourite dance tracks over the years; lots of mood, a bit sleazy without being tasteless...an apt description of this mix, if I may resort to cliche. Starting with CJ Bolland and Carl Craig, then to K&D et al and now back to 'techno' all over again, it's been interesting to see the DJ-Kicks series and Studio !K7 evolve over the years."
