The globe-trotting DJ promises an “honest” mix.

Seth Troxler is next up in the DJ Kicks mix series, and he’s indulging the more eccentric side of his collection. The mix includes a handful of releases from his own labels, Tuskegee and Soft Touch, and an exclusive track from Troxler and Dutch DJ and producer Tom Trago, which they made after Trouw’s closing party this January.

“For my DJ Kicks mix I wanted to do something that was honest,” explains Troxler. “I went out in the morning, micro-dosed myself and did all these errands around town. Then I came home at night and did the mix one take. I wanted to curate something for people to easily listen to, that was nice, and funny and got you in the mood to do your homework, or drive that hour long trip when you need to go somewhere. I see this mix as a gay man named Rodney. Or a big black woman named Birtha.”

The mix also reaches back to some of Troxler’s inspirations too, with Chicago pioneers Byron Stingily and Derrick Carter represented. “People don’t realise I have such eclectic taste,” he adds. “I think people get caught up in the image of the jokes that I make and they forget that actually listening to me play, or the music that I collect is actually pretty far out there.”
