Your Mom's Favorite DJ is the third studio album by Canadian turntablist Kid Koala, released on Ninja Tune in 2006. The album features three rock-influenced “Slew Test” tracks that were later included in different, extended form on 100%, the 2009 debut release from Kid Koala’s collaborative band project The Slew.[4]
Critical reception
Marisa Brown of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying, "as a fun, informative celebration of Koala's decade of work, it's absolutely great."[1] Brian Hull of Okayplayer said, "Your Mom's Favorite DJ is laden with blues, fuzzed out guitars, Dixieland, and more sampled dialogue than most records can boast in lyrics."[3]
David Downs of East Bay Express listed it on his "Best Records of 2006" list.[5]
