Koze lives and works in Hamburg as a Dj, musician, producer and remixer. He is one of Kompakt’s most sought after artists, and as a result, he’s worked with some of the biggest names in the game.

Earlier this year Koze released “Reincarnations”. 14 tracks of his most cherished remixes from 2001-2009. Matthew Dear, Sascha Funke, Battles, Matia Aguayo, Wechsel Garland, Chicks On Speed and Noze are all featured. This is an excellent collection of his work showing how diverse his productions are, from ambient to break beat. Koze transcends a myriad of musical genres and you should defiantly check it out.

Dj Koze is currently touring Europe spreading his unique sounds. We were lucky enough to witness his turntabilism up in Leeds alongside Reinhard Voigt and the Wighomy Brothers. Koze did not disappoint his set blended house with techno. Chopping up beats and twisting sounds into a furious deep house / techno mix. It was an outstanding 2 hour set, in which he fully exposed his Dj skills.

The first track “Mrs Bojangels” is stunning. Earthy beats accompanied by a manic cow bell pick you up instantly. Koze progressively slidies in psychedelic effects, twisting and spiraling round a pounding bass line whilst vocals roll back and forth. It manipulates you, but equally keeps you on track.

“Dr Fuck” is deeper and harder, more minimal than the latter. Demonic vocals bring a depth to the unsettling and jarring beat. As the beat tumbles up and down, the snare drum kicks in, minimal but constant.

On first impressions the first track "Mrs Bojangels" was instantly my favourite. After a while though, I started to listen to "Dr Fuck" more and more, and in my opinion it dominates this EP.

As always Koze delivers a brilliant EP and is highly original, showcasing Kozalla’s production method brilliantly. Two tracks of pure madness and musical intensity “Mrs Bojangels” is highly recommended get it HERE.
