T-Birds’ Minimal Finest:

DJ KOZE. (Or was it Adolf Noise. maybe International Pony) Bit of a weird name I have to say… very nineties… and honestly the first time someone spoke to me about him I was bit baffled as I didn’t get the description of his sounds. He’s got a light, subtle but eccentric approach and feel, keeping his listeners on their toes. You can’t put his music into a box, so he works under three aliases’ to not confuse the world too much with all the genres he dabbles in. One could say it is a delirium of music.

This guy has it all, he knows music and none of his tracks sounds alike, on top of that he is a notoriously talented remixer. Even better, this guy is from the motherland, so I am happy to introduce:

Stefan Kozalla aka DJ Koze lives and works in Hamburg as a club DJ, musician (International PONY, Adolf Noise) and successful producer and KOMPAKT recording artist (Kompakt being a label to know, but we will get to that at later stage). Originally being part of German Hip-Hop Collective Fischmob, he really shines behind the decks. Although he experienced success with Fischmob he has always been interested in experimenting with other forms of electronic music from ambient to break beats to wild sound collages from a range of musical genres.
Under his aka Adolf Noise he has moved into a deeper electronic direction, with more abstract and unusual samples (including football commentary). These tunes have to a big extent nothing to do with the DJ Koze minimal genius. So when checking him out make sure you remember the right alias, or you might end up hearing some pensive relaxing sounds that will take you on a dream wave.

As i couldn't decide what to put on here, you should most definitely investigate yourself a little more...and enjoy with volume!
