About

DJ Koze, aka Stefan Kozalla, born in Marrakech, is a renowned German DJ and producer celebrated for his unique and genre-defying music styles. His music transcends trends and creates its own universe, mixing psychedelic and unconventional elements, which makes him an outstanding figure in electronic music. He began his career in the hip-hop scene and gained recognition in the 1990s as a member of the legendary German hip-hop group Fischmob. Around the turn of the millennium, Koze formed the electronic pop band International Pony. The band released two critically acclaimed albums on a major label. Koze's remixing skills and productions have earned him significant recognition.

His 2012 remix of Matthew Herbert's "It's Only" was named Resident Advisor's #1 Track of the Year, and his 2014 remix of Moderat's "Bad Kingdom" became iconic. His remix of Låpsley's "Operator," released in 2016, further exemplifies his innovative style and highlights his talent for elevating songs, solidifying his reputation as a leading figure in electronic music. His label, Pampa Records, has released works from leading underground artists. Koze remains highly influential, with his DJ sets, music productions, and remixes in high demand globally. In 2023, he produced Róisín Murphy's album Hit Parade, which was released on Ninja Tune. 

DJ Koze's solo album Amygdala, released in 2013, showcased his ability to connect emotions with complex soundscapes, earning widespread acclaim. The album featured artists like Caribou, Apparat, Rhye, Matthew Dear, among others, and is a fascinating interplay of house, techno, and pop elements that is both danceable and deeply profound. His highly anticipated new album Music Can Hear Us has arrived. The new long player, a follow-up to his worldwide hit album Knock Knock including global dance hit “Pick Up”, has been released on Pampa Records and is a 65-minute lasting trip into space and back. An album that races like a runaway rollercoaster in a zigzag through a parade of planets, from which magicians like Damon Albarn, Soap&Skin, Ada, Sophia Kennedy, Markus Acher von The Notwist und Marewrew wave. — via Label
