dj koze - kosi comes around

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.

I like DJ Koze

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.

i am totally, totally obsessed with this:

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.

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

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

this sounded amazing in Glasgow that faithful night.

Fuck how many times can I say also. Early morning sorry

Pick up makes me think of the article about Avicii talking about the key to universal appeal is to have lyrics that are easily understood by anyone & emotional but kind of empty of meaning, something like that

Lyrics to pick up aren’t empty tho

We’ve all felt that way

Finally, a 12-inch release for Al Kent's infinitely superior Gladys Knight/Melba Moore mash-up - which is everything Koze's boring "Pick Up" could have been, if only he could have been arsed. I've been waiting for this for months, since hearing it on the radio just before Christmas.

if I play scratch that sufficiently loud, I can hear the backing for pick up very faintly in the background. which could mean murphy recorded the vocals for scratch that over pick up and koze just spun it into a new track. or it could mean kozes just fucking with me, which feels just as likely.

Quite enjoyed this: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/aug/02/demons-dj-koze-summer-anthem-genius-bangermeister

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)

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
