Description:
Universal. That is the word that Tristan Hallis proudly states when describing his inaugural entry into DJ-Kicks storied lineage. As DJ BORING, the Australian DJ and producer has forged a vibrant and illustrious career that has taken him to all corners of the globe. Unlike his puckish alias, Hallis has earned a cherished reputation for his effervescent stage presence and bombastic sets, which take in a hi-NRG flow of oddball techno, Chicago house, future funk and the emotional depths of melodic trance and ambient music. Fittingly, his DJ-Kicks mix is a winding journey through the moods, sounds and eras that coloured Hallis complex inner world during the compilation process. Trying to compile this put me in a pretty strange headspace. To be honest, I was trying to compile a vast range of stuff so I just needed to be on my own to focus on it. I stayed in one day and then finished it off in my studio Hallis explains. Then I just totally zoned in it all came spilling out of me. At first, I was going to do something completely different it was just going to be dance music! But I think a lot of people like the at-home listening aspect, and that really resonated with me its what I enjoy. I want people to feel that they can put the mix on at the start of their night, while theyre cooking dinner, before ramping up a bit before going out. Likewise, Hallis own approach to his DJ-Kicks selections is informed by the foundational tenets of the genre, where soulful melodies and grooves interact to build a feeling of euphoria. Its a creative approach inspired by Moodymanns iconic 2016 DJ-Kicks recording, in which the Motor City icon simmers slow soul, jazz and funk to a boil, releasing a melange of life-affirming house tunes. When I first moved to London, my friend and I would play this at work, because it came out around that time. We just had an obsession with DJ-Kicks and Moodymann was our favourite. Its all about the slow burn that then perfectly meshes into this energetic dancefloor area. I wanted to do my own version of that, he says. This DJ-Kicks mix is my personality to a tee, smiles Hallis, relishing the creative freedom of exploring myriad emotional territories as a DJ. Its a perfect balance of everything that I love; its hopeful and meditative, but also fun. I hope people listen to it front to back and go on the journey because it goes everywhere. Tracklist: CD 1.
