DJ Koze - Knock Knock

Score: 8.4 

To say Knock Knock, the latest album from the German electronic producer DJ Koze, is weird is an understatement. Pulverised by disorienting, atonal and celestial tracks, beats, samples and sounds, the sixteen songs that compose this odyssey are less dancefloor-oriented than soul-wrenching. When you enter into its world, you might be expecting to move your body to the rhythm of warpable austerities, but as songs go by, you forget that and, instead, you can't wait for the unusual surprises to unfold and marvel. DJ Koze manages to make us feel both obliterated and vibrant as ever, and both claustrophobic and levitated. The record feels like the clearest example of the extents and barriers of electronic music or, more precisely, the lack thereof.
