Does it have to be mark, Ronan?

Having listened to the exclusives, it's apparent why they made it a double. Almost everyone steps up.

― Andy_K (Andy_K), Friday, 22 July 2005 10:09 (twenty years ago)

Ronan: the new Superpitcher track is sort of like the sequel to his DJ Hell remix, it's got looping ethereal female vocals with 3 spare piano chords and a gently insistent bassline.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Friday, 22 July 2005 14:07 (twenty years ago)

haha ronan otm! the kaos pad's total recognizability will be its downfall.

― mark p (Mark P), Friday, 22 July 2005 14:10 (twenty years ago)

so is its recognizability like when a part starts to fade in, and it's not exactly on time, that kind of thing? have you guys used one, that's why you recognize it so easily?

― W i l l (common_person), Friday, 22 July 2005 14:23 (twenty years ago)

i've never toyed with one (kaos pad) though several peeps around here have them. i'm still not even sure what they're good for.

― andrew m. (andrewmorgan), Friday, 22 July 2005 14:26 (twenty years ago)

sort of, will. because it's so tactile and responsive it tends to stand out against other quantized elements. beyond that it really does have a signature sound (or rather, a signature result) which is instantly recognizable once you cotton on. i remember hearing it for the first time on radiohead's "everything in its right place".

― mark p (Mark P), Friday, 22 July 2005 14:35 (twenty years ago)

Kaos Pad is all over Black Dice's "Beaches & Canyons". It's good.

― oni0n_kid, Friday, 22 July 2005 15:01 (twenty years ago)

yeah don't get me wrong, i love what it does! it's just not exactly malleable.

― mark p (Mark P), Friday, 22 July 2005 15:04 (twenty years ago)

Nice track. So what exactly does the Kaos Pad do?

― Jamie T Smith (Jamie T Smith), Friday, 22 July 2005 15:15 (twenty years ago)

http://www.drakemusicproject.org/internalimages/4ckorgkaosa.jpg

its an effects controller that processes input sounds in realtime. basically you sample sounds into the pad and move/distort/swoosh them across the soundfield with your finger in realtime. the backwards/flipped/reversed/swallowed section of thom yorke's vocals on "everything in its right place" are kaoss padded to hell.

― mark p (Mark P), Friday, 22 July 2005 15:21 (twenty years ago)

the best analogy i can think of is that it generates tracers for your selected input

― mark p (Mark P), Friday, 22 July 2005 15:23 (twenty years ago)

It looks cool.

I like DJ Koze

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Friday, 22 July 2005 15:25 (twenty years ago)

It does look and sound cool. Two 's's in Kaoss too. Sweet.

I didn't actually like Brutalga Square, so have not really bothered with DJ Koze, but I'm intrigued now. A lot happens in that track.

― Jamie T Smith (Jamie T Smith), Friday, 22 July 2005 15:28 (twenty years ago)

the track i uploaded isn't really indicative of the album as a whole. it's just that adam wanted bees.

― mark p (Mark P), Friday, 22 July 2005 15:29 (twenty years ago)

any news on when it will be released?

― ambrose (ambrose), Friday, 22 July 2005 15:44 (twenty years ago)

It's out on September 12th.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Friday, 22 July 2005 16:08 (twenty years ago)

September is looking sweet. there's a full-length Heiko Voss album coming out on Firm in September, too! and a Misc. album on Sender in Sept as well.

― geeta (geeta), Friday, 22 July 2005 19:11 (twenty years ago)

Heiko Voss might not be worth getting excited over, his Call Me Killer EP only really had the title track (which was admittedly brilliant), the rest was awful.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 22 July 2005 19:14 (twenty years ago)

Is Heiko Voss Geiger?

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Friday, 22 July 2005 19:16 (twenty years ago)

no I thought so before but not the case I don't think .

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 22 July 2005 19:18 (twenty years ago)

Heiko is one half of Schaeben & Voss though! :)

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Friday, 22 July 2005 19:58 (twenty years ago)

I would marry DJ koze

― czn (johnson), Friday, 22 July 2005 20:15 (twenty years ago)

heiko voss VS heiko laux

― ambrose (ambrose), Friday, 22 July 2005 23:20 (twenty years ago)

total 6 is really amazing. i never expected them to pull it off.

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Saturday, 23 July 2005 00:30 (twenty years ago)

heiko voss VS heiko laux

Laux by miles and MILES and MIIIIIILES

― tylero (tylero), Saturday, 23 July 2005 02:05 (twenty years ago)

yeah i have to admit, this koze has taken a huge backseat to total6 over the last 24 hours.

― mark p (Mark P), Saturday, 23 July 2005 02:33 (twenty years ago)

want hear total 6.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Saturday, 23 July 2005 03:15 (twenty years ago)

me want

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Saturday, 23 July 2005 03:16 (twenty years ago)

want hear!!

Baxendale - I Built This City (Michael Mayer Mix)

― mark p (Mark P), Saturday, 23 July 2005 04:07 (twenty years ago)

need this badly

― Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 23 July 2005 09:40 (twenty years ago)

hmmm, i am in cologne for the day. i wonder if they sell the records earlier than the general release date at the kompakt shop? if anyone knows could they post back quite soon (it's currently 4pm here) as i might make the effort. otherwise i'm going to go and try and sleep off a gargantuanly momentous hangover.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Saturday, 23 July 2005 12:59 (twenty years ago)

I can't remember but it's worth going just cos there's so much there! Although you probably own it all anyway so maybe not!

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Saturday, 23 July 2005 13:08 (twenty years ago)

i am wavering as i am scared i'll spend a fortune and also i am right at the limit with my baggage allowance and don't want to get hit for the excess baggage. i think i'll try to re energise myself instead so i'm in the mood for mayer dj'ing later.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Saturday, 23 July 2005 13:20 (twenty years ago)

Yeah be careful, I had to pay a ridiculous amount in excess baggage at Frankfurt!

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Saturday, 23 July 2005 13:28 (twenty years ago)

here's 'Baxendale - I Built This City (Michael Mayer Mix)'

i am totally, totally obsessed with this:

― mark p (Mark P), Saturday, 23 July 2005 15:48 (twenty years ago)

OMG THOSE VOCALS DELETE DELETE DELETE!!!

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 23 July 2005 15:53 (twenty years ago)

otm

― fe zaffe (fezaffe), Saturday, 23 July 2005 16:05 (twenty years ago)

its even worse than this world (wighnohmys & wruhme mix). this shit has got to stop

― fe zaffe (fezaffe), Saturday, 23 July 2005 16:18 (twenty years ago)

it could be the worst vocal i have ever heard.

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 23 July 2005 16:20 (twenty years ago)

Fucking hell sounds like John Balance!

― oni0n_kid, Saturday, 23 July 2005 16:24 (twenty years ago)

you are CRAZY.

― mark p (Mark P), Saturday, 23 July 2005 16:25 (twenty years ago)

i mean the verse part, fine, i see where you're coming from, but that payoff! wowowow.

― mark p (Mark P), Saturday, 23 July 2005 16:26 (twenty years ago)

haha, it does sound a bit like jbalance except horrible!

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 23 July 2005 16:29 (twenty years ago)

haha i kinda like it, even though its an awful vocal, in a way.

but nothing, nothing could be worse than he vocam on slam's "this world", wighnomy remix or no. is there a dub version of their remix, cos i really like the tune, but the vocal is unbeliveably bad.

this on the other hand, is kinda stupid, but i quite like the falsetto bit. doesnt last very long though.

generally, shit vocals have got to stop though, i agree. "selection 3" to thread.

― ambrose (ambrose), Saturday, 23 July 2005 17:04 (twenty years ago)

i had blocked the slam track out of my mind - thanks ambrose, i need therapy again.

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 23 July 2005 17:14 (twenty years ago)

i don't mind his vocal too much, perhaps as it does sound a wee bit like john balance. it's the falsetto vocal to the end that grates, although maybe it'll grow on me. kind of underwhelmed though.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Saturday, 23 July 2005 18:15 (twenty years ago)

that's a re-recorded the vocal right?! it doesn't sound as good as on the original

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 23 July 2005 18:34 (twenty years ago)

How can they get the music so right and the vocals so wrong? They should hire the lot of us as vocal/lyrical consultants.

The falsetto does warm some small place in my heart, though.

― djh, Wednesday, 2 August 2023 22:34 (two years ago)

ten months pass...

i never listened to the koze produced r**s*n m*rphy album that came out whenever because she turned out to be a shitty person obviously, but since finding the instrumentals on youtube i've been listening to them every day for the last two weeks and it's becoming my summer soundtrack

is this ethically bad?

(meant to link to playlist, apologies for the god awful artwork)

― pitted (blue6ave), Friday, 14 June 2024 20:45 (one year ago)

I wouldn't feel bad or see it as ethically bad, outside of the fact you're giving her a bit of residual income perhaps. If anything Murphy's reveal was a bit of a rug pull for DJ Koze. Dude was happily putting some sick production work together for her and now that music, much of which was really funky and quite well done, has a disgraced legacy that's possibly having a financial impact, assuming his income was tied to the success of the record in any way. The fact the instrumentals are out there gives me hope I can maybe enjoy the music without Murphy involved at all! Basically a new DJ Koze record...

Good lord that cover art though - fucking hell I'll never get over how bad that is.

new album music can hear us out 4 april. the single featuring albarn is quite nice although idk that albarn's voice really adds much to it

― ufo, Friday, 29 November 2024 10:51 (one year ago)

three months pass...

Really nice interview on RS. Looking forward to it.

this is fire

this is fantastic, looked up the tracklist of the upcoming album, glad the terf is nowhere to be found

― Murgatroid, Tuesday, 18 March 2025 00:40 (one year ago)

i hope he does manage to do a song with burna boy some day

― ufo, Tuesday, 18 March 2025 09:41 (one year ago)

two weeks pass...

Loving how this sounds.

― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 4 April 2025 14:14 (one year ago)

Just ordered the vinyl, need to download it and listen. The last albums were so good, but that’s all I’ve heard from him. What else is worth hunting down?

Has he commented on the Roisin Murphy mess?

― Cow_Art, Friday, 4 April 2025 14:30 (one year ago)

He's got two remix compilations called Reincarnations which are very much worth your time

― Number None, Friday, 4 April 2025 15:02 (one year ago)

He never commented on the Roisin clusterfuck but I think it’s probably the right move. Not collaborating with her any further is a stronger message.

― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 4 April 2025 15:38 (one year ago)

Hmm I don't know, I think a stronger message would be say that he actively supports trans rights

― boxedjoy, Friday, 4 April 2025 16:10 (one year ago)

What else is worth hunting down?

His label Pampa very much releases music on his wavelength. Check out Pampa, Vol 1 as a starting point.

― octobeard, Friday, 4 April 2025 17:22 (one year ago)

another lovely koze album, especially the early middle section

― slob wizard (J0rdan S.), Friday, 4 April 2025 17:30 (one year ago)

this is nice enough but i'm not sure there's anything that's as strong as the best bits of knock knock

― ufo, Friday, 4 April 2025 22:35 (one year ago)

I think this might be my favourite of his, but a lot of that has to do with the Notwist sample in 'What About Us'. But I kinda love all the German songs.

― Frederik B, Saturday, 5 April 2025 13:54 (one year ago)

Only partway through this… that track with Damon Albarn is a real stinker but everything else that’s come after has been quite pretty
