REINCARNATIONS PART 2 (VINYL)

A year has passed since DJ Koze released his masterpiece Amygdala, which was heralded worldwide with numerous awards and prizes: "Best Album" in Groove, De: Bug, Byte FM and Zu'ndfunk. "Best Album #2" at Resident Advisor, as well as the HANS Music Prize, the VUT Indie Award for "Best Album" and finally, the ECHO Critics Award, Now, after Reincarnations - The Remix Chapter 2001-2009 and Music Is Okay (2000), comes the third major exhibition of DJ Koze's work as a remix virtuoso: 'Reincarnations Pt 2.'


For Reincarnations Pt 2 DJ Koze, aka Swahimi, der Unerleuchtete. (Swahimi, the Unenlightened), collected 12 of his musical rebirths in an old wicker basket, where otherwise a small cat can be found sleeping, Once more, DJ Koze refines and varies his colors and shapes, styles and materials, He prefers to reach a crescendo on the dance floor in his own special way - often the loud becomes the quiet, the heavy stands in contrast with the gentle, Koze's remix of Moderat's "Bad Kingdom" makes a hymn from a hit.


His reworking of the two Herbert tracks "It's Only" (Resident Advisor Poll 2013 - Track of the Year #1) and "You Saw It All" feel like abstract paintings, yet function simultaneously as great pop music, And his wonderful arrangements for Caribou, Who Made Who, Ada, Gonzales, Soap & Skin, and finally, as a crowning glory, Apparat's "Blackwater", have all long since become classics, In the mountains, they say, the direct route always leads from summit to summit.
