The DJ highlights a wide range of their taste, covers many moods, often without too much emphasis on the club, and the tracks aren't necessarily mixed. When done well, these mixes don't seem to age. They lend themselves to heavy repeat listening. I worked in the RA office in London until recently, and another mix in this style, Moodymann's DJ-Kicks from 2016, got played more than most other things I can remember. Vynehall's entry into the long-running series doesn't have quite the same crowd-pleasing quality, but like the Moodymann mix it's brilliantly executed.
Comparatively speaking, Vynehall's DJ-Kicks leans away from the dance floor, at least in its first half. He's released a handful of great mixes over the last six or so years, touching on hip-hop, disco, dub and other styles in addition to house music!
Robert Haigh is most widely known as the drum & bass act Omni Trio, but a tender piano piece under his given name closes the mix. This is fitting. Vynehall is also a respected artist with an uncommonly deep craft, as DJ-Kicks serves to emphasise.
