Laurel Halo takes on the next DJ-Kicks compilation

The Ann Arbor producer delivers the 68th edition of the series

!K7 has tapped Laurel Halo for the 68th edition of the DJ-Kicks mix series.

Originally from Ann Arbor, Michigan, and currently based in Berlin, Halo's woozy and off-kilter production style - which jumps back and forth between vivacious dancefloor jams and delicate, experimental musings - has made the rounds on lauded imprints such as RVNG Intl, Hyperdub, Livity Sound and beyond.

Her 60-minute DJ-Kicks compilation consists of 29-track which includes two new tracks of her own, her recent collaboration with Hodge and a list of adventurous productions from the likes of Blake Baxter, Dario Zenker, Ikonika, Machinewoman, Geoffery Landers, Via Maris and more.

Laurel Halo's DJ-Kicks compilation drops on March 22 via !K7 Records.

Check out the album art and tracklist below.
