It comes in three parts, and features remixes from Acid Pauli, Viken Arman, Terr, Acid Coco, Philou Louzolo, DJ Holographic, Kalabrese, and Frank Wiedemann.

The remix album tends to be a rather challenging beast, to say the least. It often feels rushed, uninspired, and simply designed as a quick cash-in. Every once in a blue moon, though, the result is nothing short of solid gold and offers exciting added value for everyone involved. To prove the latter, rhythmic powerhouse Keope invited a handful of fellow-minded artists, Acid Pauli, Viken Arman, Terr, Acid Coco, Philou Louzolo, DJ Holographic, Kalabrese, and Frank Wiedemann, to rework the tracks of their sophomore record, ‘Flikka Flokka’.

The aforementioned album ‘Flikka Flokka’ was a musically free-spirited and overall vivid affair, which brilliantly showcased the duo’s ever-expanding sonic universe. Already danceable to the max, its key tracks are now receiving a carefully crafted strobe light makeover, verifying that it’s actually possible to reshape an already dazzling longplayer in the best possible way.

We are presenting the remix from the first part of the track ‘Kumare’ by Acid Pauli & Viken Arman.

‘Flikka Flokka Remixed PT.1’ will be available after the 11th of July HERE.

It’s a system of trial and error, ebb and flow, order and chaos, action and reaction. And paradoxically, this system somehow still feels balanced amid all this turmoil. In fact, the same can be said about Keope’s second longplayer for Frank Wiedemann’s Bigamo. Easily.

Keope might be a duo consisting of Marcus Rossknecht and Toni Bruna, but they actually sound like a collective of rather nomadic – and heavily gifted – musicians on their ever-present quest to reach different musical spheres. Everything is in motion, everything is in constant flux. Everything, everywhere, all at once. Their previous record ‘Triangulo’ already provided the audience an idea of their elaborate rhythmic vocabulary, but it’s the cryptically titled ‘Flikka Flokka’, which sees their multilayered compositions bloom into a fully-formed, new musical Esperanto.

You can immediately sense that Keope must be a phenomenal live act because the twelve tracks on ‘Flikka Flokka’ sound as if they were born from endless jam sessions fueled by a whole variety of influences. As a result, the work of Rossknecht and Bruna presents itself as a prime example of sound in motion that responds solely to its very own pulse by taking the aforementioned influences and making them completely their own. Now, let’s dance!

We are presenting the fourth track, ‘Kumare’.

‘Flikka Flokka’ LP will be available after the 29th of September HERE.
