DāM-FunK's at the Controls for the Next DJ Kicks Mix

The Modern Funk pioneer's about to serve up 19 BBQ ready sultry summer jams.

Hot on the heels of Detroit's finest, Moodymann, everyone's favorite Pasadena resident DāM-FunK's just been announced as the next selector to release a DJ Kicks mix. Dropping in late May on !K7, it looks like this'll be a perfect accompaniment to any BBQ you might throw over the summer. After all, what could be better than a burnt burger and a seamless blend of vintage and modern funk? Throw in a lukewarm beer and you've got a recipe for the best day ever.

The guys over at !K7 are describing it as a "1985 Pontiac Grand Prix" and if that involves 19 tracks worth of smoother-than-Clover funk and soul then we'll just have to agree with them. As always there's an DJ-Kicks exclusive tucked away, and this time round it comes in the form of previously unheard FunK track "Believer". Which probably won't be a cover of the John Maus banger, but then again you can't have everything in this life. Check out the artwork and the tracklisting below.

1. Moon B - Oof
2. Nicci Gable - Close To Who?
3. Randell & Schippers - Love Jam
4. Verticle Lines - Theme From Beach Boy
5. Brandon - Suzy Hijack
6. Take Three - Tonite's The Night (All Right)
7. Index - Starlight
8. Uncle Jams Army - Dial-A-Freak
9. Gemini - Log In
10. Nexus - Stand Up (Instrumental)
11. Reggie B - Poison Candy
12. L33 - Keepin It Tight
13. Gaussian Curve - Broken Clouds
14. Tony Palkovic - True To Yourself
15. Henning - Arrival / Departure
16. Nite-Funk - Can U Read Me?
17. DaM-FunK - Believer
18. True Design - I Wanna Break
19. Crystal Winds - Funk Ain't Easy

Oh, and it'll be dropping as s strictly limited 10″ vinyl single containing two of the rarest tracks from the mix which will be available exclusively via !K7's online store and Bandcamp, as well as a less limited but still fantastic looking vinyl set. Everyone's a winner!

Dam-Funk's DJ-Kicks arrives on May 27th via !K7
