Following on from the heavyweight collaboration with Sasha for ‘The Lights’, Kölsch returns to his IPSO imprint for a remarkable remix of the trance classic ‘Stella’ by Jam & Spoon. Adding his own signature progressive tones, whilst keeping the original synths and vocals, Kölsch’s remix rounds off with a pulsing acid line. The rework is set for acclaim as it continues the trajectory from ‘The Lights’ which was made Pete Tong’s Essential New Tune on his BBC Radio 1 show. This latest release solidifies IPSO’s reputation as one of dance music’s leading labels, with the Dane expanding the brand to Miami, Watergate Berlin, and Amsterdam Dance Event last year. Alongside this, Kölsch performed two sold-out IPSO shows to 8,000 people in Antwerp as well as playing two 10 hour sets on consecutive nights at Belgian venue Waagnatie. Well known for his genre-defining cuts, Kölsch has sold millions of records all over the world under his many different monikers, including the seminal LP ‘1977’ and renowned albums ‘1983’ & ‘1989’, with the latter including the hit single ‘Grey’. Having already played sold out shows at Printworks London and T7 Paris, Kölsch looks set for another busy summer this year with performances lined up at the likes of Coachella, DGTL Amsterdam, Awakenings Festival, Sonus and Creamfields.

Widely acclaimed DJ and producer Kölsch has delivered the release of his brand-new single ‘The Lights’, a collaborative production made alongside dance heavyweight Sasha. Set for release on Kölsch’s IPSO label, the track - a cleverly crafted progressive embodiment of both artist’s signature styles - follows the imprint’s previous records ‘Dogma’ and Tiga collaboration ‘HAL’. Already supported by Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1’s rave lounge, ‘The Lights’ solidifies IPSO’s reputation as one of dance music’s leading labels, with the Dane expanding the brand to Miami, Watergate Berlin, and Amsterdam Dance Event last year. Kölsch also recently performed two sold out IPSO shows to 8,000 people in Antwerp, playing two extended 10 hour sets on consecutive nights at Belgian venue Waagnatie. Roping in the talents of ‘Last Night On Earth’ label founder Sasha, the DJ and producer’s imprint recently celebrated the landmark of 100 releases with a special debut compilation. Releasing records on Kompakt, Late Night Tales, and Watergate, Sasha also mixed last year’s fabric 99 compilation and recently launched his La Fleur collaboration ‘Förbindelse’ on LNOE. Proving his skills outside of the studio as well as in it, the dynamic DJ - who has amassed a reputation as a true figurehead of the Ibiza scene, performing at the likes of DC-10 and Privilege - will perform upcoming sets at Motion Bristol, Vujyaday Festival, a forthcoming US tour, and a 3-date Easter schedule around the UK with John Digweed. Well known for his genre-defining cuts, Kölsch has sold millions of records all over the world under his many different monikers, including seminal LP ‘1977’ and his widely acclaimed albums ‘1983’ & ‘1989’, with the latter including the anthem ‘Grey’. Labelled as “The king when it comes to piano and house music” by Annie Mac, Kölsch looks set for another busy summer this year with performances lined up at the likes of Printworks London, DGTL Amsterdam, Awakenings Festival, Sonus and Creamfields.

For the debut of his newfound label IPSO records, Kölsch wanted to try something new. He has long been a fan of limiting himself in the studio. "Sometimes working with less equipment brings out the best in you, so for the first release I figured it would be interesting to experiment with this", Kölsch says. Inspired by the Danish Dogma films, he decided to make a rule, and as he is not one for overdoing things, the rule is very simple. "We are only allowed to use one instrument” "I reached out to my friend and all time hero Michael Mayer to do the first collab." “Other than being the co-founder of the mighty Kompakt records, and signing me in 2009, he is a genius in a dj booth and a great producer, He has always been a great inspiration to me, so we agreed to start my new Label with a bang”, he adds. Kölsch set out the challenge, that Michael should choose the instrument. "As I arrived in Cologne, Michael had chosen this old Yamaha Organ. Funny side note, is that it is actually Jörg Burgers Organ. Jörg is actually quiet the techno legend himself, but that is another story. We spent 1 day in the studio, and we had a blast. The outcome is 2 great pieces of music that i am very proud to share with you”.
