JOHN TALABOT: If where a musician comes from inevitably influences their music, that's doubly the case with John Talabot's instalment of !K7's renowned DJ-Kicks mix series. "I wanted to do something special", explains the Barcelona based DJ. "I thought that it would be good if people could discover what my influences are, where I've come from, the people that I admire and tracks that have been important to me over the last ten years, plus some tracks on my label that have never been released." The result is a mix steeped in Talabot's home town, the clubs he went to growing up, the music he heard, the sound he's gone on to craft with his own productions and take to the world.

All DJ-Kicks mixes contain an exclusive track, written by the artist for the album. Talabot did two. His own track 'Without You', plus a collaboration with Axel Boman 'Sideral'. 'Without You' was an idea Talabot had while recording 'Ƒin'. When he was working on the mix, he didn't know where to slot his track in. "Everything was so good, I didn't want to put my track in the middle of them because it's hard to stand up to music that I respect so much," he says. It was recorded while Talabot was travelling and he thinks it's got that wandering vibe. "It has a feeling that it's different from the stuff I've released before," he says. "It has a housey feeling, but it's a bit slower too. It's not a party track; it has a more ambient atmosphere that fits with the rest of the mix.

"I think you get a good idea of what I'm all about from the mix," Talabot concludes. "It represents my musical world, the sounds that I've been into over the years." It's that history that sets this mix apart. It's something you can't buy, something you can't fake. John Talabot has got it and then some.
