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.

― jergins (jergins), Saturday, 23 July 2005 18:47 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I'm wondering if it's a re-recorded vocal too. The original "I Built This City" is amazing - it doesn't sound so Neil Tennant/spoken wordish, and the falsetto which comes in during the bridge is much more of a payoff. It's also much more disco pop than Mayer's version!

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Saturday, 23 July 2005 19:29 (twenty years ago)

Yeah I like the original 'I Built this City' way better than the remix as well! The remix would be way better without any vocals. The way he's done this remix reminds me of "Love is Stronger than Pride" -- substitute the "you you you you..." in place of "pride pride pride pride..." etc....except that track ruled and this doesn't.

― geeta (geeta), Saturday, 23 July 2005 19:36 (twenty years ago)

Yes, there's a Wighnomy Dub of Slam's "This World." And I love that dominatrix vocal track on Selection 3, although I could see people thinking it's silly.

xpost - Does anyone know if the original "Built This City" will be on the 12" or is it just the Justus/Mayer mixes?

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Saturday, 23 July 2005 19:39 (twenty years ago)

how is the justus remix of 'i built this city'? i haven't heard that one.

― geeta (geeta), Saturday, 23 July 2005 19:46 (twenty years ago)

fuck the lyrical moaning, this sounds like the Pet Shop Boys! (and is hence great)

this sounded amazing in Glasgow that faithful night.

― Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 23 July 2005 21:21 (twenty years ago)

and again in Dublin, this (a little less) miserable night!

― Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 23 July 2005 21:24 (twenty years ago)

you just need to get busted again.

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 23 July 2005 21:25 (twenty years ago)

I meant the night is a little less miserable having heard it!

― Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 23 July 2005 21:27 (twenty years ago)

I have to say the Mayer remix is a certain type of track, it's really peak time plateau kind of stuff, the night he played he dropped it and it sounded like the greatest thing ever, just really *right* for that moment when the unspoken consensus that a DJ has done a really really good job seems to fall into a club from the sky. So like, particularly if you've got DJs good enough to do real journey type sets then this mix is fantastic I think.

― Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 23 July 2005 21:48 (twenty years ago)

mayer played this tonight and in cologne and it sounded fantastic in the context of what he was playing but i still don't think i'd touch it with a bargepole. highlight of the night - justus koehncke - 'german clubs are the most boring in the world. mini maaal must die'.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Sunday, 24 July 2005 03:41 (twenty years ago)

and i can still never spell 'kohncke'.

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
