DJ Koze and Effects – Liberation

In the preamble, a warning is necessary. This « DJ » placed in front of the artist’s name can be damn misleading. Whether you are looking for material to run the towels on a evening of July 14 or to turn your head by taking your room for a imitation dancefloor, you risk being listening to the new album by Stefan Kozalla. Even if he also handles the turntables in a talented way, we can realize this during the next Parisian festival We Love Greenthis German above all likes to leave this role of ambianceur, to take cross of crosspieces when it comes to foment on the duration (more than an hour here) its own compositions. No doubt, with him, the making of an « album », envisaged in a homogeneous globality takes on its full meaning. The approach is very personal but Koze is not a selfish and of course he seeks to embark on his sumptuous trip.

The title Music can hear us Expressing well the certain disorder caused by these strange and delicious titles where the producer plays with the sounds, the guests, the languages, in an explosion of electronic psychedelism. With the more beautiful example this beautifully spiritual ode The Universe in a Nutshell (the universe in summary). Listening to him, it is very possible for an open chakras spirit to climb very high thanks to these almost eight minutes where a kind of mantra runs in a loop while instruments of indeterminate origins compose a sumptuous melodic saraband. A manifesto of Pure love demonstrated later in the scintillating title of the same name which sees once again Damon Albarn shine among electronicsmen, after his recent featuring with Etienne de Crécy. Follower of a delightful Esperanto musical, this fiftieth anniversary also succeeds several times the prowess of making the language of Goethe sexy. Better with Wie Schön du Bist, It offers us an irresistible pop ballad lush mini-tube look. Finally the heir to the wakes 99 Luftbalons And Der Komissar?

In the company of his comrades Carsten Meyer, Daniel Sommer, Koze is already seduced with an inevitably crazy electronic pop manifesto.

The subtle electronic compositions of this Swedish producer open the doors of a new ecstatic world.

When it comes to playing the impediments of dancing in circles you can always count on Nicolas Jaar and his accomplice Dave Harrington.
