KÖLSCH - Speicher 79 out now
For SPEICHER 79, revered producer and live performer KÖLSCH returns to the series where it all begun,
Starting out in 2001 to tie up some loose ends from
our regulars, SPEICHER has since become a
guarantee for vanguard dance sounds from all
over the planet, allowing KOMPAKT to invite and
support electronic artists that comfortably inhabit
both the delicate and the more deliberate ends of
the electronic music spectrum. For SPEICHER 79,
revered producer and live performer KÖLSCH
returns to the series where it all begun, delivering
two distinct cuts that masterfully distill all the
elements of his earlier work for an even stronger
floor impact.
The first of the pair, PAPAGENO greets the listener
with an exciting throwback to the psychoactive synth-
bending of faux-shuffle banger "Loreley" (KOMPAKT
EXTRA 68) - KÖLSCH's debuting track from 2010 that
introduced audiences to a new kind of club frenzy and
has since become a prime time. But a perfectly
executed reference is only half of PAPAGENO's story:
fellow Dane and When Saints Go Machine vocalist
WAA INDUSTRY chimes in for a prolonged detour into
more personal territory, bridging over to the emotional
depth of last year's landmark full-length "1977"
(KOMPAKT 276) and marking a moment of heartfelt
introspection amidst the well-oiled club machinery.
Flipside jewel CASSIOPEIA brings his own
background story, with the initial idea harking back to a
surprise live rendition of "Der Alte" (KOMPAKT EXTRA
70) by Cologne multi-instrumentalist and composer
GREGOR SCHWELLENBACH during Kompakt's 20th
anniversary celebrations.
KÖLSCH was so enamored
with the rework of his material that he decided to flesh
out this unsuspected connection. And while we're at it -
why not ask for a direct collaboration? The result is a
future classic and a melodic masterpiece employing
Gregor's orchestral flourishings to devastatingly
touching effect.
