The latest installment on Kompakt’s long running Speicher series comes from Danish producer/DJ Rune Reilly Kölsch, or just simply Kölsch. His new offering, the two-track EP called “Speicher 79”, arrives today and marks his first release since last year’s well-received debut album “1977”.
Here’s our favorite cut from that release, “Cassiopeia”, a truly gorgeous piano-driven tune with lush strings from Cologne-based classical composer Gregor Schwellenbach, which picks up right where his superb “Der Alte” track left off. “Since I heard his amazing album last year, I’ve been wanting to work with Gregor Schwellenbach. I always loved the idea of joining forces with a classical composer to make my tracks sound more alive,” says Kölsch. You can now stream “Cassiopeia” in all its glory, courtesy of Mixmag.
Kölsch’s “Speicher 79” is out now via Kompakt. Get it here.
