About three years after the release of his Walls album, Berlin's Apparat will take the reins as mixmaster on the forthcoming installment of !K7's DJ-KiCKS series. The DJ/producer will drop his contribution, a 24-track mix album that features two exclusive Apparat tracks, an unreleased Telefon Tel Aviv number, and music from the likes of Martyn, Oval, Four Tet & Burial, Pantha du Prince, Tim Hecker, Ramadanman, and Joy Orbison, on October 26. Of his own DJ-KiCKS, producer Sascha Ring says, “The mix isn’t that balanced when it comes to melody I guess. There’s a lot of sweetness on there, but it is dark and mysterious at points. I guess the bittersweetness has long been kind of my thing, and with this mix, I was just trying to spice it up a bit."
