dj koze - kosi comes around

yeah, I read the thing in Pitchfork a few days ago and it's excellent. really looking forward to the new album.

"brutalga square" still rattles and stomps like a mfer

good feature indeed

i really fancy him.

One of the best producers in the game

His Herbert remix with Dani siciliano smokes

I need a little light here.

Juno record shop needs to stock the new LP A$AP so I can complete my order

Am just on my second listen of Knock Knock. It's lush.

Haven't heard it yet but I am going to just buy the thing because I know it is going to be super good

It's sprawling and rather uplifting/'optimistic'!

this is so so good. weird & wonderful

early favs are bonfire, pickup and planet hase (mano le tough collab)

It’s out :)

Very weird n wonderful

it reminds me of ... radiohead?

in a good way.

ok maybe that's just a few tracks (the kurt wagner one especially)

Some mash of Herbert and matmos

I’m not convinced by all of it but Lord Knows does bring it in spades

there's sections of this that feel a better version of what the avalanches seemed to be going for on wildflower

I think he needs to focus a little bit more but he’s got a really good ear for arrangements and he’s great at bending and mixing genres. I love his work, but again, I feel he spends too much time setting moods and textures and not enough actually sending his ideas somewhere more interesting. He’s close enough to being one of the most brilliant producers of the past 10+ years.

That said I think I’m liking the new album even better than amygdala and that’s one of my favorite albums of this decade.

I think he needs to focus a little bit more

That’s probably true

Koze rocking filter house vibes in 2018 turns out to be just what I want on a hot may bank holiday

Another parallel is dark night of the soul

Kurt Wagner sounds like a mechanical Peter Gabriel here

Sorry that wasn’t worth the double post

new album sounds incredible on first listen. personally love the lack-of-focus, it made that first listen a lot more unpredictable. highlight for me so far is the fluttering-soul of "Baby (How Much I LFO You)," but i need to listen again in full cause there was a lot more i loved, but i wasn't paying attention to song titles.

koze + roisin did a two hour show on nts last friday:

I’ve been enjoying this. I especially love the frequent key and tempo changes in his recent work. I also love albums that are mixed like a mixtape regardless of whether they were mixed on a console. It reminds me of Kenny Dixon Jr. or Matthew Herbert.

Is anything from this getting club play?

Some of the vocals on this are p awful

Pick Up can definitely be worked into a house mix.

Listening to it today it feels like an updated albeit lesser version of Daft Punk’s one more time. The groove is very similar in both, same sort of bongo percussion loop before the kick enters... based around two chords which I think are even Fmaj and Cmaj in both. Is anyone else hearing it?

I’ve been spinning this nonstop to get to the bottom of how I feel about it. Music of my teeth is pretty corny Disney shit. Scratch that sounds like erykah badu and is dope. Lots to like in the production including some gnarly mangled cat synths but on a song like “this is my rock” the song isn’t compelling to me until the outro so sometimes I think that’s confusing - cuz them im ambivalent.

Pretty funny that koze reps himself on Jesus

One other production tic I like is how in Jesus the vocal goes from harsh and robotic to beautiful in seconds

Ah yes “scratch that” does sound like Badu! One of the highlights for me.

Hadn't read anything about this so was not expecting the sample of The Gist's "Love At First Sight"; as startling as when I first heard Pantha du Prince's "Circle Glider".

Is the horn line that comes in on "Muddy Funster" at 3:20 playing the Police's "Walking on the Moon"?

Somebody’s gotta get Bjork in contact with DJ koze. Opener and closer are almost Vulnicura Esque. Nice to hear the reprisal of the sample from I haven’t been everywhere on colors of autumn

Is anything from this getting club play?

'pick up' seems destined for many a sunrise set in ibiza this summer

Yeah not much of this as as club friendly as
His other one off tracks but pick up is def tight

been waiting for the right time to listen to this . tonight is the night i think

Enjoy! Xpost

"Pick Up" made me think of "Music Sounds Better With You" when I first heard it, the structure is similar to my ears.

Haven't had a chance to play this but I am very excited to see The Gist being sampled!

Worth noting there’s extended versions of both pick up and seeing aliens. They bang

extremely into knock knock

I know it's everyone's favorite, but I'm pretty obsessed with "pick up". like a melancholy air france. so basically the best music ever

it's sad to think / I guess neither one of us / wants to be the first to say / goodbye

where are brad and tim

Omg a dj koze produced Bjork album would be so good, I hate what Arca has done with her sound.

If you like pick up peep the 10 min edit.

Also the seeing aliens extended destroys the original.
This is my favourite record this year. Sound wise it towers over everything in terms of innovation and ideas

Like that casino slot machine sound on track 2 is so weird but works perfectly
