"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.
