The first !K7 Flavour mix of 2010 is a fine hour of music indeed. Its from back in 2005 and comes courtesy of Belgian duo, The Glimmers. Optimo, Lindstrom, In Flagranti and more. Ahead of its time this one.

The mix features classics from A Guy Called Gerald, Primal Scream, Prince and The Rolling Stones (the band who forced The Glimmer Twins to change their name to the shorter Glimmers) as well as early excursions from the likes of In Flagranti, Lindstrom and Tiga.

Lumped alongside the electroclash scene of the mid-noughties The Glimmers were more than mere bandwagon jumpers and the mix highlights this with the fact that a lot of the acts they selected in their mix are as credible and forward-looking today as they were five years ago. The Glimmers continue to tour and produce extensively today and are also as credible and forward-looking now as they were then. Listen to it.
