The eagerly anticipated announcement of James Holden's next musical step: taking his place in an illustrious line of previous pioneers, James will deliver the next installment in !K7's definitive mix album series DJ Kicks.

And now that the mix is signed, sealed and delivered in all of its primal, rhythmic glory, we can also unveil the tracklisting. Which may seem a bit like spoiling the surprise, but you know as well as we do that even if you do manage to track down all of the records below, noone can put them together quite like our man Holden:in a club. But to me this is dance music.'

And more than just his latest mix CD installment, the DJ Kicks formula also provides a vehicle for some new original Holden music, in the form of new single 'Triangle Folds', which will emerge in two lascivious alternative versions on an accompanying vinyl release. The eagle-eyed will also note the presence of a certain previously-unreleased Holden remix of our teenage heroes Mogwai, which will also finally be available for your own DJing pleasure on the downright essential DJ-Kicks double vinyl package, along with the hitherto unavailable on vinyl Luke Abbott remix of Mit's 'Rauch' and an exclusive preview of 'Soft Attacks' from the same Luke Abbott's forthcoming Border Community album 'Holkham Drones' - and many more goodies besides. Exciting times we live in, no?
