I have been picky about my DJ Kicks selections..This one is up there on top with Thievery Corp., Vikter Duplaix mix. Excellent cross section of tracks. The mix is seamless and flows great from one track to the next..Just look at the track selection; D'Angelo, Pharoah Sanders, Marvin Gaye, Coldcut.

Certainly one to treasure.

This mix album is absolutely fantastic. A must buy!

Henrik soulfully weaves through a number of genres and the placement of tracks is incredibly well thought out. Detroit Techno smoothly transitioning in to South African traditional music - who would have thought it could work? Boy, does it really!

Another reviewer summed this album up perfectly: " It's a CD that tells a story. It contains tracks that ooze class, that reek of history, that are imbued with style. It is a mix that speaks of life's rich tapestry. In short, Henrik Schwarz has delivered a mix with something for your mind, your body, and, most importantly, your soul. "

It has been a while since I felt so good after listening to a new CD!

This dance compilation renewed my faith in the possibility of depth and meaning in dance music. Schwarz is a great artist who can paint a flawless canvas of music with character. His mixes are superb. His performance in dance music has the rare ability to move one's soul. His song choices are second to none both musically and lyrically. A dozen listens later, I'm still smiling and going "Wow!"

I just picked up on Henrik after coming across his Live album. I read a few reviews about his DJ Kicks and decided to get it. Let me tell ya, this album I've listened to twice today after receiving after work today. It's likely to approach the timelessness of Kruder/Dorfmeister's DJ Kicks in quality. If you have an idea of what this album would sound like, and you think you'd dig it - you'd probably have your head blown once you hear it!
