Kolsch Releases New Album 1983 on Kompakt

kolsch 1983

“One of the most important albums in dance music this year, it’s called ‘1983’, the follow up to his last album ‘1977’, and the album is based on him being in the back of his mum an dads car travelling through Europe as a kid going on family holidays. Looking out the window, that feeling of motion. It’sabsolutely perfect…I’ve just been listening to it in the car over the last couple of days. It really is just so perfect, an album that you will live with for a very long time I think. A staple.” – Annie Mac, BBC Radio 1

Danish native Rune Reilly Kölsch better known as KÖLSCH, today releases his hotly anticipated album ‘1983’ on the much revered Cologne-based imprint Kompakt. ‘1983’ serves as the follow up to his seminal LP ‘1977’, which was released in 2013 and proved to rewrite the rulebook on techno production. ‘1983’ is no less a grand opus, a record layered with classical production, affording several exquisite cuts that mesh to form a truly symbiotic work.

Kölsch himself describes ‘1983’ as a “travel album,” inspired by the first year he travelled through Europe with his parents as a six year old, thus providing a narrative and autobiographical soundscape.The tracks were developed as demos and thoroughly road-tested during his live shows and as Rune explains, “chances are that if you’ve heard my live show over the last two years, you’ve heard a lot of the new album.” The result is an elegant, anthemic, transcendent soundtrack, which engulfs the listener from the onset. A sonic coupling of classical composition and contemporary production, the addition of Gregor Schwellenbach’s emotive orchestral strings blend in harmony with the beat-laden percussion, offering a symphony of sound unheard in the techno spectrum.

Listen: Kölsch – Der Die Das [KOMPAKT]

Setting the bar with ‘1977’, Kölsch has garnered even greater heights with ‘1983.’ With the beatless opening track serving as a prequel to the thumping synth-infused techno of the LP, the Danish mastermind continues to prove himself a master raconteur. The recollection is clear in Kölsch’s work and the emotion is iridescent, with WhoMadeWhos’s Tomas Høffding offering up his services on ‘Bloodline,’ bringing another dimension to a work already so layered and complex. ‘Der Die Das’ stands as a masterpiece of finely tuned techno, seamlessly flowing between synthetic and analogue orchestration. The aural dynamics continue throughout, resting on the final track ‘Papageno’. With Waa Industry supplying the melancholic vocals, the track serves as a plaintive end to the cathartic experience that is ‘1983.’
