DJ Koze - Nein König Nein (PAMPA030)

Release date: january 26th 2018 - Vinyl available on www.pamparecord... and digital on pampa.lnk.to/D...
DJ Koze exists both above and beyond club culture as we know it - his albums and remixes flying free from genre and trend - and symbiotically woven into its heart. Yes, he always abstracts and weirds out the principles of house, techno, hip hop, pop, psychedelia, exotica and so forth, but he does that because he understands them. And when it comes to club-demolishing tracks, he understands those principles as well as just about anybody on earth.
Thus he could create an enduring club tune like 2015's “XTC” that is strange, contemplative, even disturbing, bore little relation to anything around at the time, yet still got bodies moving and sweating better than way more obvious techno bangers. And thus the knock knock album, which melts a million genres and none into one another, can comfortably include “Seeing Aliens”.
“Seeing Aliens” unquestionably is a banger, its bass riff snaking around your body like a python, its high-drama strings, pianos and outbursts of noise designed for maximum crowd pressure release. But, again, it sounds like nothing else, and its dynamics and twists unfold over eight and a half minutes in ways that will mess with your head every time no matter how many times you hear it.
The exclusive b-side track, “Nein König Nein” (“No King No”!), meanwhile, is slightly gentler on the face of it: it's less about sonic pressure, more about hip-shaking syncopation. But it too tells strange fairytales in its peculiar and brain-tweaking accumulation of detail, and though you'll hear archetypal sounds from the heart of house and disco in it, every last one of them becomes new and otherworldly.

Da sitze ich hier als PUNK, nachts um kurz nach 3 mit meinem pfandfreien Dosenbier in einer 74 qm Mehrfamilienhaus-Wohnung und die Ohren glühen durch den Kopfhörer.... Ich dachte, nach Deiner Interpretation von "Made To Stray" könnte nimmer viel kommen.... ICH LIEBE DICH!!!!
DANKE, DANKE, DANKE!!!!!

[@kaelinjoel9328]

One of the first DJ's I loved. Always something special when Koze releases. Always original.

[@MakeSomeNoiseAgencyPlaylists]

yup, he is one of a kind. not your average guy, really in love with his style and taste

[@jondoe8423]

I heard him in a 1997 radio Interview. The Station was called evosonic (might be active but not broadcasting via FM anymore. Streaming was too expensive back then, and not compressed. So they closed the FM broadcasting early. Koze was very cool, being asked about his Name, he said: with this Name I must try hard to be accepted so I make music...). In the North Baden (Mannheim, ...Frankfurt is already Hessen) region we had cool house clubs...it is our music region next to Hamburg. Regards

@@jondoe8423 in 1997 streaming didn't exist at all. a lot of households weren't even connected to proper ISDN back then which was the state of the art in broadband data transfer technology at that time. which was super slow and expensive when it came to dial-in connection. i remember paying telecommunication bills of way over 300 deutschmarks in the early 2000s even.
and when it comes to the name - the guys last name is 'kozalla' and that's where his dj name is coming from. he was named like that way before doing techno x house when his hiphop / crossover band fischmob was still around in the mid 90s.

[@romit1025]

[@KingFarb]

how is this underrated? Koze is one of the biggest producers in game and everybody around knows it.

[@ryanburns7930]

That harsh bass sound is too good

It does sound like a birthday song. Might use it as a theme for it too, as my birthday is approaching in a couple of days

DJ Koze played this in Beirut at the grand factory and it banged hard!!

[@smoshabi]

Gaaddam! I been looking for this song since beggining of last year , been hearing it on all the best house mixes and DJ's never wana share the fuckin tracklists. You know someone is a beast when multiple house dj's use their tracks over and over again.

[@slyyassa9430]

just THANK YOU.

[@arcticablue]

I love that New Order rift!

[@nanassenanasse9521]

arcticablue 3 days to comment it !!! Now, i'm sure that you broke replay button ... ^^ :-p :-D

[@ryanburns7930]

What new order rift are you reffering to? Im guessing its the bass noise. Id like to know where its from

[@ryanburns7930]

Unless you just mean its new order-esque

[@arcticablue]

I'm still playing this song! It's all about higher consciousness! This song is music for highly intelligent individuals in the top 1%!

[@arcticablue]

Yeah, that is the more appropriate way to phrase what I was trying to say! The sounds at 2:59, 3:07 and 3:23 are what I am talking about! New Order has always been one of my top favorite bands and for some reason those few notes remind me of them!
