Pieter Kock - Page 25–30
Insanely productive Pieter Kock of Berlin’s OTannenbaum serves up an album full of polyrhythmic
collages, hovering ostinatos and explosions. General aesthetics of sound: fl ying marble
in an underground scenario totally overground. Planet of the Superapes, being a soundtrack
of now, is composed of the following chapters:
Night Clubs: hard grooving eight and a half minutes, gently topped with cosmic synths and
distant choirs. Phillipines: strings and weightless vocals telling of hope and loneliness over a
driving beat. Oedipus Listen: euphorically fl oating atmosphere. ecstasy. Planet of the Superapes:
title track: dark, ghostly, naked, melancholic, dramatic. With a good pinch of optimistic
fun. Page 25–30: total apocalyptic drama, agressive rhythm.
A warm and inviting yet alienating record for an interesting summer. 300 pressed.
Pieter Kock, also known as DJ Peacock, is a musician, producer, and DJ who co-founded the
bar/micro club O Tannenbaum Berlin. He has been actively involved in music since 1986,
playing various instruments in new wave and experimental bands and releasing albums under

In the early 90s, he also started DJing and playing a broad range of music, including Le fi eld
techno, soundart, wave, world, cosmic, jazz, punk, industrial, and weird pop music. His unique
approach to music production involves collecting and recalibrating all manner of sonic artifacts,
using live mixing so ware Traktor to create his sponatneous stereo sonic objects.
Under his name Pieter Kock he has released music on various labels, including R.I.O, Musikii,

It was quite unexpected to see the very prolific and talended Pieter Kock featuring on Macadam Mambo - which is usualy used to new-comers - as he has released a lot in the past 2 years on very nice labels like RIO, Meakusma or Moonwalk X. But, the demos that he sent were so good that there was no question about doing something. And with a lot of possibilities, to prepare a double album that is now composed of 15 quality tracks for 1h20 of music... What vibes are in here! It’s heavy, loudy, loopy, mental, smokey, and always surprising. Pieter has is very own universe, and is without doubt one of the most interesting electronic musician at the moment.
Should we ask you to give chance to this opus, and tell you you won’t regret it ? We don’t think we need to do so... J More

LP + CD + Booklet
Producer Pieter Kock, active also as a DJ under his DJ Peacock guise, is known for being one of the people behind the legendary O Tannenbaum bar and club, a haven of sorts in Berlin nightlife for years, and the newly opened second O Tannenbaum called Schankwirtschafft O Tannenbaum. He has released some of his own music on labels such as Musikii, RIO, Full Body Massage, Fantasy Fiction Records, Moonwalk X, and Invisible Inc, and has extensively collaborated with people and projects such as Meeuw and De Fabriek.
His new Bright Bars From The Stars album on Meakusma is a dizzying amalgam of moods and influences. From ghostly and contemplative tracks to spaced-out and dubbed-out dark dancefloor psychedelia infused with melodics, phrasing, and percussive patterns reminiscent of pop and avant-garde alike, Bright Bars From The Stars features a full album on vinyl, with an extra CD included. Kock is a versatile chronicler of the night, capturing the beauty, loneliness, and endless possibilities of wide avenues pining for neon lights, futuristic descents into past moods and modes, and all.
14 tracks in total, Bright Bars From The Stars is a cosmic, at times gentle, at times confrontational affair that brims with ideas and influences. Combining sounds, rhythms, melodies, and textures from a wide variety of sources and meanings, Pieter Kock brings all of his influences together, intent on finding new paths of thinking and feeling. His pictures printed in the CD booklet give some kind of indication of his artistic process, without ever wanting to push things in any kind of direction. Cocktail bars of a dystopian future, unite! Bright Bars From The Stars is the soundtrack to a very encompassing and transformative night out.

"One day I was on a visit sitting in his kitchen and when we decided to change to the sofa in the music room, his girlfriend proposed to listen to these old recordings, as maybe I would be weird enough to like them. "Recorded in my homestudio, low budget style with a cheap microphone, a sampler, drum machines, vinyl and a few borrowed synths. … A commitment to the funk, a raw analogue sound and also a dedication to black music and its architects." the artist comments on it.?I immediately dug the rather short demos a lot. As I had to swallow the information that there never were real plans to release them, I later decided on the bus home, I just had to puke out a "label". Soon I asked him to extend some of the songs and let me do some mixing and here is the album." Cid Hohner
An entire long-player on hair, representing the complete Illwig catalogue. Beautifully raw electronic funk. Obscure, bouncy and atmospheric. Right. This is F.B.Illwig with the first official release on Moonwalk X Records after a singlesided promo 12" sporting the extended version of "Why Do My Hair".
