Despite the internet’s endless supply of pornography, it’s stuff like this mix from Karma Kid that keeps me plugged into my laptop beyond 5am. The latest i-DJ feature from the folks at i-D Magazine presents a warm, maturely-crafted mix from Karma Kid.

Immediately before listening to the mix, I was listening to " target="_blank">this old tune. Despite having almost nothing in common with Karma Kid, The Lovin’ Spoonful provided the perfect prelude to his mix. Their song eased me back into my chair and allowed me to reminisce for a while. Then Karma Kid’s mix began, gently but swiftly whisking me off into the future. If you’re in the right headspace (being sleep-deprived admittedly helps) then that contrast between old and new can completely change the listening experience of the mix. It’s a huge moment when Maribou State’s swollen bassline blows bubbles underneath Fatboy Slim’s classic tune, and the groove of Eats Everything’s rendition of Adam F’s ‘Circles’ really hits you hard.

Regardless of whether you’re a marginally insane insomniac, this is an outstanding mix that’s well worth your time. Check Karma Kid on Facebook and Soundcloud
