Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the fourth !K7 Flavour Mix. This time brought to you by the Parisian DJ, Tigersushi label boss, producer and artiste, Joakim Bouaziz.

Joakim first came to our attention with 2007′s Monsters And Silly Songs LP which managed to strike a delicate balance between music for the head and music for the feet. It took in acoustic influences as well as more techno inspired dancefloor friendly moments and featured the wonderfully forlorn krautrock meets dream-pop stroke of genius that is the heartbreaking, Lonely Hearts which also received a nice little makeover from the loving hands of DFA’s Tim Goldsworthy.

Fast forward to 2009 and Joakim has taken his genre-bending ethic to new heights and produced what I believe to be one of the top five finest albums released this year. Milky Ways is that good. To accompany the release of Joakim’s second album, we’ve kindly been given this exclusive mix from the man himself and our friends over at !K7 HQ in Berlin. As one would expect from hearing Joakim’s own output the mix draws from all sorts of genres and eras whilst managing to create a coherent and thoroughly enjoyable hour of music. Hope you enjoy this as much as we have.

In two weeks time a Flavour mix from the vaults crafted by Whitest Boy Alive, Erlend Oye, from back in 2004.
