Citizen Kane is definitely one of those next chapter DJs. You'll see him at A-1 playing some crap ass record, then a couple months you'll be fiending for that suddenly essential piece of music. Both his prior mixes with Chairman Mao have gone down in the books as classics, and now he's released this solo effort on the new imprint Disc Sinthomme. The mix starts in the realm of rare soul and rock influenced tracks and flows through disco/non-disco, and then into some of the more intense new house music being made today. The mix features some super-rare collector pieces, numerous Kane re-edits, and exclusive takes of newer gems. Featuring artists as diverse as Max Berlin, Tony Orlando, Nick Chacona, and David Astri, Kane has dug deep to provide an encapsulation of one of his club night sets. Fans of the Idjut Boys "Press Play" cd will find a kindred spirit in this mix. 24 tracks, over 70 minutes.
