DJ-Kicks ALL DAY: BERLIN Sunday service, daytime dance. Nine hours of music, from early afternoon into the night. Four incredible selectors. One very special Sunday in Berlin. On December 13th, we’re taking over Haus der Visionäre from 1pm to 10pm for a Sunday spent on the dancefloor. Since 1995, !K7’s DJ-Kicks mix series has invited DJs to share their musical worlds: the records that shaped them, the discoveries they live for, and the connections they hear between genres. From Carl Craig and Moodymann to Theo Parrish, it’s become an essential introduction to the art of selection, opening up record collections and inspiring generations of listeners. For this occasion, that spirit comes to life across a full day of deep house, soul, jazz, disco and unexpected discoveries. At the heart of it all is an extended set from Theo Parrish. Raised in Chicago and rooted in Detroit, Theo has spent three decades exploring the breadth of black dance music. Through his Sound Signature label, productions and uncompromising DJ sets, he connects raw, off-centre house with the soul, funk and jazz running through it. His 2022 DJ-Kicks, Detroit Forward, offered a window into the city’s living musical community. Here, he’ll have the time and space to follow those connections wherever they lead. Joining him is Palms Trax, whose own musical education began digging through Chicago house and Detroit techno while working in a London record shop. His 2013 debut Equation and subsequent releases on Dekmantel introduced a producer with a feel for warm melodies, bubbling synths and loose, infectious rhythms. Behind the decks, that palette opens out into deep house, rare disco and unexpected records from across decades and continents. From his Cooking with Palms Trax radio show on NTS to his longstanding connection with Dekmantel, curiosity and a generous sense of joy run through everything he does. Completing the lineup are two of our favorite Berlin selectors, Stella Zekri and Natalie Robinson. Four distinct musical perspectives, connected by a love of digging deep and bringing people together on the dancefloor.
