Eris Drew will oversee the next instalment of !K7’s DJ-Kicks mix series.

The 20-track set collects “the funky, emotional, ecstatic house-and-breaks backbone that defines my sound”, the Chicago DJ and producer said in a statement. It features music by Moby, Callisto, Octo Octa and Drew herself, who contributes two new productions.

She recorded the mix on two turntables and a mixer at her home studio in rural New Hampshire. “”I recorded it in my cabin with the violent world rolling around me,” she said. “Being in my refuge in the forest was important; the mix needed to carry the feeling of that place and the inspiration I draw from it. I wanted the mix to feel like climbing a mountain – to produce an ecstatic sensation of overcoming.”

Listen to one of Drew’s original tracks for the mix, ‘Momentary Phase Transition’, below.

The DJ’s mix follows recent previous entries in the DJ-Kicks series by the likes of Modeselektor and Quantic, among others.

!K7 will release DJ-Kicks: Eris Drew on November 14, 2025.
