Laurel Halo's DJ-Kicks entry is an exhilarating plunge into the awkward depths of electronic music, populated by eclectic choices and unexpected sounds. The mix straddles a line between chaos and coherence, with Halo's own exclusives complicating traditional expectations and inviting discomfort. It's a contradiction that is both intoxicating and jarring; this album is a finely honed chaos, defying the tidy categorizations that often plague the genre.
