DJ-Kicks announces Cinthie as latest mix contributor

House heavyweights Boo Williams, Terrence Parker and the late Paul Johnson all on the tracklist

Berlin-based producer and DJ Cinthie has announced that she will be delivering the latest instalment of the DJ-Kicks compilation series for !K7 Records, out on April 1, 2022.

Aside from DJing and production, Cinthie is known for heading up numerous record labels, as well as running the dance music record store, Elevate Berlin. Beginning her career behind the desk of the record shop Saarbrücken near Frankfurt, and as a resident DJ at several Berlin clubs, she has slowly established herself as one of the key figures in Berlin’s house scene. She has released her own music on 803 Crystal Grooves, Aus, Shall Not Fade, and Key Vinyl. 

The new DJ-Kicks compilation aims to represent Cinthie’s love for and knowledge of house music, while offering a nuanced representation of the diversity in sound the genre brings, with both international artists and friends featured.

Cinthie said that “DJ-Kicks is a milestone in every artist’s career. When putting my tracklist together, I wanted to make sure to shine a light on my old heroes as well as the new kids in the game.” In her own words, she is “highlighting my absolute fav producers at the moment, most of (whom) I call friends and are working really hard and are very loved and well known, especially in our circle of the music scene. I hope the listeners will enjoy their music as much as I do… From deep to Detroit, from banging to smooth, from jazzy to stomping, from disco to Chicago, from dubby to big room.”

Artists included on the new 24-track compilation include Cinthie’s pioneers and heroes: Boo Williams, Amir Alexander, Terrence Parker, and the late Paul Johnson. Her more close friends and affiliates include women artists such as Amy Dabbs, Logic1000, Lis Sarocca and Anna Wall. 

Cinthie’s DJ-Kicks will be released in vinyl and digital formats on April 1st. Pre-order the album here:
