Kicks Like a Mule

Kicks Like a Mule

Kicks Like A Mule is a rave/electronic music duo consisting of Richard Russell and Nick Halkes. Their first single “The Bouncer” was a UK Top 10 chart hit when it was released in 1992. Although both Halkes and Russell worked at the XL Recordings label at the time of the singles release (XL being run by Russell to this day), it was released on Rebel MC’s independent Tribal Bass label. Kicks Like a Mule were also responsible for the remix of Awesome 3’s “Don’t Go”, and produced the song “Pass the Rizla” by London Posse on their album “Gangster Chronicle” (recently voted the most important UK hip hop album of all time in Hip Hop Connection magazine). Their second single “Number One” was also released on the Tribal Bass label. As “Lifelike” Russell and Halkes also recorded the song “Lifelike” which was released on the ffrr label. Although this was meant to be the first fruits of an album project the album never materialised. After a fifteen year hiatus, in which time Halkes launched the successful Positiva and Incentive dance labels and Russell signed acts including The White Stripes and Dizzee Rascal to XL, the duo returned with an “answer-cover” of The Klaxons “Gravitys Rainbow” (The Klaxons having first covered “The Bouncer”) recorded at Russells home studio "The Rock". Kicks Like A Mule have also remixed the song “XR2” from the M.I.A album “Kala” and the Top 10 dance record "I Found You" by Axwell. Having been a popular DJ’ing duo at the time of “The Bouncer”s release, the pair have recently DJ'd at Chalk, Ministry of Sound and Bestival.
