DJ Kaos

Review: DJ Kaos's latest offering combines reworks (many previously unheard) of tracks from his catalogue, with a variety of reworks and original productions from many of his buddies in the scene. It's an eclectic and wide-ranging selection, with highlights coming thick and fast throughout. The set begins with the chunky cosmic house throb of Softwar's 'Afterhours' and ends with a wonky, stripped-back, after-party friendly Solomun rework of Kaos's 'I Want To Be There'. Sandwiched in between you'll find such must-check gems as Luke Solomon's nine-minute 'raw mix' of Richard From Milwaukee's glassy-eyed turn-of-the-90s breakbeat house gem 'Clear Water', the Italo-goes-proto-house throb of Red Axes' 'Promo Only', and the heavily dubbed-out, effects-laden disco headiness of Napoleon's 'Love Spell'.

Review: Some of you may remember DJ Kaos's 'Kosmicher Ruckenwind', a hard-to-pigeonhole 2009 single on Clone's Loft Supreme series that joined the dots between saucer-eyed cosmic disco, Tangerine Dream, and sun-soaked Balearic soundscapes. Here the timeless track returns in remastered form, accompanied by remixes old and new. That means there's another chance to savour Quiet Village's trippy, trance-inducing, 23-minute revision (a heartfelt tribute to 'kosmiche' epics of the 70s, with added hallucinatory dancefloor potential) and Elitechnique's bubbly cosmic disco tweak (both released 13 years ago), but also three previous unheard reworks. There's a gorgeous, dub disco-tinged Balearic re-wire courtesy of Lexx, a Prins Thomas style re-imagining from Swoop and a 1970s Tangerine Dream-with-added-TB-303s tweak from DJ Kaos.

Review: DJ Kaos (real name Dennis Kaun) and Free Association cover an incredibly wide range of musical ground on this 14-track long-player for Kaun's own Jolly Jams. The album opens with 'Tablets Of Love', a reworking of The Eagles' sleazoid 1979 funk-rock jam 'Those Shoes', but by the time it's finished we've been through everything from string-drenched disco ('Love Affair') to heavy psych-funk ('Purple Mics'), and from summery Afro grooves ('Bayete') to jazz fusion ('Feel Alright'), not to mention a startling reggae-funk-pop cover of Pink Floyd's 'Money' (now renamed 'Goodie Goodie'). A varied and very enjoyable listen that's best served end-to-end.

Review: Given that DJ Kaos's Jolly Jams imprint has consistently delivered some of the most unsusual and inspired re-edits and reworks around, you'd expect this label compilation to be nigh-on essential. It is, of course, with the eccentric, long-serving producer serving up a mixture of languid, sunset-ready synth-scapes ('Tangerine Stream' by Galling & Gruzis), electro-disco chuggers (Mark E Quark's "Slo-Mo Edit" of 'Doin' It Right'), fiery disco-funk (Bastedos' 'Nobody' and Dany B's 'Gotta Get It'), oddball disco ('Tapping The Source' by DJ Kaos), late-night acid sleaziness (Ivo Del Plado and Tavish's spaced-out 'Raw Seduction'), and glassy-eyed Balearica (Cole Medina). The package also contains a superb, slowed down re-imagining of Sylvester's 'You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)' by Balearic Skip that's simply stunning.

Review: There's naturally plenty of high-grade material to be found on Jolly Jams' latest round up of previously "promo only" material from their regular vinyl missives. It's a thrill-a-minute ride through illicit underground dancefloor pastures that touches on a variety of styles, from the "Buffalo Gals"-sampling early Chicago House flex of Promo Only's "Promo Only" (track 9) and the pitched-down jazz-funk/disco-funk re-edit brilliance of Conor's "Sure Thing", to the Ron Hardy style grooves and dub delays of new wave/proto-house rework "Sake of Nothing" by Slaves of Love, via DJ Kaos's sought-after dancefloor tweak of an infamous Italo disco-era cover of Eric Clapton's "After Midnight" (here re-titled "Midnight Patrol"). The latter, now near impossible to find on vinyl, is simply essential.

Review: DJ Kaos doesn't put out many re-edits these days, but when he does, they're invariably superb. This seven-track set of fresh reworks contains some of his finest scalpel work to date. The headline attraction is undoubtedly "Midnight Patrol", a brilliant rearrangement of the Valverde Brothers' 1978 disco cover of JJ Cale's "After Midnight" that makes much of the winding synth solos and gospel backing vocals. There's plenty of other killer material throughout, though, from the synth-laden cosmic disco throb of "Stranger", and 135 BPM tropical drum workout "Ocean Rhythms", to the '70s rock surge of "Psychedelic Supermarket" (a tasty re-cut of The Who favourite "Eminence Front"). All killer, no filler.
