The next single from Kölsch’s forthcoming album arrives today, leading into a visionary live tour this fall
The path toward Kölsch’s forthcoming album begins with ‘All Week,’ the opening single from KINEMA and the first taste of a project that stretches beyond the studio and onto the stage.
Arriving on Kölsch’s own label IPSO, the release signals the start of an ambitious year for the Danish producer, one that pairs a dynamic, forward-thinking LP with a daring new live show, ‘Kölsch and the Machine’. Together, they chart the next artistic chapter for one of techno’s most human voices. Mark your calendar, as ‘All Week’ lands on streaming services everywhere on September 26.
f KINEMA pulses with identity, ‘All Week’ distills it into a single frame. Shuffling percussion and crisp snares carve out an addictive, unorthodox groove, while a worldly wind lead slips into focus, smooth yet kinetic in a single breath. As the track unfolds, the drums begin to spar with a swelling bassline in a tantalizing call and response that feels primal yet universal.
As a first taste of KINEMA, the single works not because it defines the album’s entire palette, but because it hints at its scope. The record is less about sharpening a single formula and more about exploring a diverse spectrum of lush soundscapes that, when woven together, form the greater tapestry that is KINEMA.
That vision reaches full scale with ‘Kölsch and the Machine’, a new live show that brings KINEMA to life with modular performance and reimagined classics. Launching October 23 at Amsterdam Dance Event and traveling across Europe through the year’s end, the show represents a full circle moment, marking a long-awaited return to Kölsch’s creative roots.
Through a fusion of production mastery and deeply emotive techno, Kölsch has become one of the genre’s most singular voices. Building towards his upcoming Kölsch and the Machine live tour and accompanying KINEMA album, he continues to stand as one of the scene’s most defining figures.
Over the years he has collaborated with a range of renowned artists including Coldplay, Imogen Heap, London Grammar, and Damon Albarn, as well as electronic heavyweights such as ARTBAT, Anyma, WhoMadeWho, and Kevin de Vries, showcasing a producer confident in wearing many creative hats.
Alongside releases on his IPSO label with Michael Mayer, Tiga, and Sasha, Kölsch’s sound bridges raw vulnerability and electronic power. Raised in Copenhagen’s Christiania commune, he draws on a lifetime of artistic exploration to create music that feels both universal and deeply personal, a vision perhaps best captured in his unforgettable Cercle set atop the Eiffel Tower.
The next chapter begins on September 26 when ‘All Week’ hits streaming services worldwide, followed by the full KINEMA album and its lead single ‘Sad Makes Me Happy’ on October 17. Find more information about the live show, Kölsch and the Machine, including tickets and tour dates here.
