Stefan Kozalla thinks outside of the box on this week’s RA podcast.
If you’ve been listening to techno in the past decade, the name of DJ Koze has most likely been inescapable. But it was 2008 that took him to an even higher level: Last year’s “Let’s Loveâ€/â€I Want to Sleep†single on International Records Recordings took the top spot on RA’s year-end poll.
The remix, however, has long been Kozalla’s forte, with memorable readjustments of Heiko Voss, Sid Le Roc and Ben Watt all featuring on his upcoming remix collection, entitled Reincarnations, but his DJing has been just as heralded. He’ll be doing the latter at next month’s Time Warp party in Mannheim amongst a line-up of techno’s elite, but don’t expect a set of the latest dance floor anthems.
“I prefer it when the music becomes slower and sexier the longer the night gets,†said Kozalla when speaking to RA’s Eike Kühl late last year, and that’s exactly what he’s done on this week’s RA podcast. We caught up with the man by e-mail to talk about the mix, record shopping and his new label.
