Title:	The Geklöppel Continues
Label:	KOMPAKT (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$8.00
Catalog #:	KOM 085EP

"Now it's time to strike back. On Speicher 11 (Kompakt Extra 11) --the sawyer of Saint George -- has threatened us to do so, but now it has finally come true: The daring venture between Germany's almost most favourite DJ and Germany's most favourite guerilla pop label. This record features everything a real Kompakt record needs: courage, glamour, fun, hunger, thirst, lust, sex and drugs and a straight bass drum, techno, pop and laptop trash. And even ambient. Two sides of globalism within the limits of 93. On the first side, you'll get a wildpitch techhouse stomper with Profan-ish side blows. On the second side, a straying minimal popper as well as an ambient die-away track with sound planes and fanfares you don't need to feel ashamed of calling it wonderful. This is the way how you become Hamburg's governor."

Title:	Late Check Out
Label:	KOMPAKT (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$8.00
Catalog #:	KOM 110EP

Released in December of 2004. "Kompakt is proudly taking part in the current run of one of the busiest producers, DJs, sex and drugs and 'klöppel' n'roll, multi-talents of the club presence. Late Check Out is the name of the work and starts as complex as exceptionally psychedelic. 'Let's Help Me' is a foggy trip with many side-paths. 'Room 303' surely means a favourite hotel room, but it's a dusty minimal-sweeper like Dancemania. And in the end, the pop ambient Christmas greeting 'Kuschelrock' sends us out in the snow."

Title:	Kosi Comes Around
Label:	KOMPAKT (GERMANY)
Format:	2LP
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	KOM 124LP

Double vinyl LP version. This may sound overly dramatic to state, but DJ Koze is truly here to give the world a piece of his mind -- and the facts are blatantly presented here on this album. Stefan Kozalla aka DJ Koze is a revolutionist and proves beyond reasonable doubt on Kosi Comes Around that nobody else can load music up with so much madness yet balance it gingerly with love and warmth. He feels there are promises that must be given surrounding the multitude of "new lies" that exist in this world today and a true determination of bringing house back to it's utopian place once again. And what house it is... musically emanating the depth and spirit of Brian Wilson with whispers of the pop-fused sway he punctuates as a member of International Pony, DJ Koze synthesizes the absurd with the tangible in infinite combinations, thus creating gorgeous moments in music.

Title:	Kosi Comes Around - Remixes Part 1
Label:	KOMPAKT (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$8.00
Catalog #:	KOM 136EP

This is the first remix single of the unforgettable DJ Koze album Kosi Comes Around. Farben (aka Jan Jelinek) does the opener and sends "My Grandmotha" through the laptop sound labyrinth. What comes out is an artful and smartly grooving four-to-the-floor bass drum. Koze's bonus mix "Bobby" is noble ambient with a gentle beat, crowned by International Pony's cosmic guest chant. The B-side belongs to Matthew Dear aka Audion who cuts up "Raw" and rhythmically reassembles it. This clicking, swinging mix will conquer the hearts of old-schoolers and surely please the new tasteful minimalists.

Title:	All People Is My Friends
Label:	KOMPAKT (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	KOMP 030CD

"Steeped in a solid history of hip hop deck manipulation and a member of International Pony, DJ Koze brings his deft fingers to the new sound of Cologne, digging deep in the crates, brushing the dust off some classics and unheard gems, and coming up with some of the most leftfield choices ever assembled on a DJ mix album. Not as in leftfield techno or leftfield house, but right out in leftfield. Genre is not an issue or a constraint in this mix, and Koze holds it all together with his strong sense of rhythm and his all-encompassing musical know-how. Beyond being the album's title, All People Is My Friends is the back-to-basics attitude Koze brings to his selection. This mix sounds like it was made with the love and care of one friend making a mix tape for another. What starts off essentially as a campfire listening session slowly builds into a solid groove of Jan Jelinek hisses and crackles, Jackmate electro, and the lazy slide guitar samples of Thomas Brinkmann's 'Isch'. Further still, with tracks by Langley School Music Project, the Christians, and more than a few buried surprises book-ending the beats, All People Is My Friends is a very personal mix assembled out of music that would otherwise never meet in this way. Also includes are stellar cuts by Mr. Oizo, Isolée, and Grungerman (Wolfgang Voigt). Rather than being a regurgitation of today's biggest 12"ers, Koze has opted for music that he really likes, songs that carry meaning. This is the perfect mix for jaded listeners who say that electronic producers show no emotion." Features tracks from: World Standard/Garland, Jan Jelinek, Jackmate, Mr. Oizo, Isolee, Fabrice Lig, Thomas Brinkmann, Villalobs, Smith n Hack, Mattew Jonson, Grungerman, DJ Koze.

Catalog #:	KOMP 043CD

Having erupted over the past year with a slew of 12" singles that have captivated DJs worldwide, the current insanity over his alter-ego Adolf Noise, and lest we forget, one of the most adventurous mix CDs of all time, 2004's All People Is My Friends, Hamburg, Germany-based DJ Koze moves forward with his highly anticipated, solo debut full length entitled Kosi Comes Around. This may sound overly dramatic to state, but DJ Koze is truly here to give the world a piece of his mind -- and the facts are blatantly presented here on this album. Stefan Kozalla aka DJ Koze is a revolutionist and proves beyond reasonable doubt on Kosi Comes Around that nobody else can load music up with so much madness yet balance it gingerly with love and warmth.
