VIP Club Dance

 The 10 Tracks on “Safe and Sound” came together over the past 24 months, mostly while touring the planet both as a live act and as a DJ. “Safe and Sound” resonates the screams of today’s dancefloor with Justus’ wisdom of dance music’s long and wondrous history in a most enigmatic way. Right from the album opener “Yacht”, Justus’ trademark disco universe rips wide open due thanks to it’s brilliant “Slave to the rhythm” references. Three more pure disco bangers are to follow with “Molybdän”, “Love and Dancing” and the ecstatic “Parage”.What’s new is a certain technoid rigor, a vehement approach to his music which is new to Justus Köhncke’s oeuvre. Wherever Justus takes you, his music never loses that soulfulness and human temperature (37° C to feverish) that emanates throughout his music. Beyond the disco crackers and floor shakers obviously present on “Safe and Sound” it’s important we bring light to “(It’s gonna be) Alright”, “Tilda“, “Spukhafte Fernwirkung“ and the title track which confront the overall euphoric album vibe with a special enigmatic melancholy you may find in many Kompakt releases and of which lay a foundation for the album’s undisputed highlight.“Feuerland” is a cover version based on an original from 1974 by Michael Rother who some of you might know for his legendary recordings with Kraftwerk, Harmonia and Neu. Justus beams Rother’s synthetic kraut sound smack dab in in the middle of today’s contemporary dancefloors. Certain to hit you like a vitamin injection and serves as a affirmation that change is in the air… something big, something new! Tracklist:1 Yacht
