Kompakt fantasy disco would-be champ finally gives in to his inner New Romantic and loverman balladeer. Before now, I kind of thought his vocals sounded a little creepy - but they work here. Anyone else heard/agree/disagree?

The answer is yes.

(But have you heard him do Hamlisch?)

― Stacey Pollen (Andy K), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 19:38 (twenty-two years ago)

ha, no. sounds like something that would end up in a mix somewhere

― dleone (dleone), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 19:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Has anyone posted the Kompakt 100 tracklist up in this bitch yet?

I'll go find the Kompakt S&D thread.

i really like this track but it has N-O-T-H-I-N-G on 'timecode.'

― mark p (Mark P), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 19:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I love Justus Kohncke

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 20:25 (twenty-two years ago)

i just just learnt how to spell his name.

― mark p (Mark P), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 21:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Re: spelling. It's Köhncke. Or Koehncke if you can't get the umlaut. I'm a fan (of the umlaut and Köhncke)

You guys have heard his cover of "Old Man" by Neil Young right??

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 20 May 2004 01:07 (twenty-two years ago)

He also covers "Wichita Lineman" and "Nobody Does it Better"(!). Wasn't his first album all covers?

I quite like his new single ("Durch Die Nacht") for Kompakt Pop too.

hey, you know what's still awesome? timecode.

The answer is JAWOHL.

How is Justus Köhncke pronounced?

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 16:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Kyooonkay

― cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 16:43 (twenty-one years ago)

I do not believe that to be true.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 16:44 (twenty-one years ago)

i do

― cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 16:45 (twenty-one years ago)

What about the Justus?

The terrible thing is that I am so clueless about German pronunciation that I am not ever going to know whether someone is winding me up or not until I try it out in some trendy Cologne record shop and get laughed out of town.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 16:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Kern-chke. I think. Maybe Kern-ker. Definitely Kern. The umlaut puts an "e" like stress on the o, turning it into a porno sound.

― ___ (___), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 16:50 (twenty-one years ago)

OK, I do believe that to be true. Thank you.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 17:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Doesn't he sample a track from "Pet Sounds" for the track "Weil Du Mich Verstehst"? I can't recall which track he samples though. It's the marimba and string bit.

― paul c (paul c), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 19:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Yup, he does. I found the sample. It's "Let's go away for awhile".

― paul c (paul c), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 23:52 (twenty-one years ago)

one month passes...

Anyone seen him play out...got to make a decision whether to see him or a Mathew Jonson/Ritchie Hawtin double bill. Am feeling Justus and friends' musical outptut and reckon Hawtin may well be monolithic techno but I'm scared Justus can't stitch two records together. Any thoughts?

― angus-macdonald (Audiophonics), Friday, 10 September 2004 07:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I would say go for Justus, as his live events don't seem to come around as much as Hawtin.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Friday, 10 September 2004 13:17 (twenty-one years ago)

See Jonson and then go home.

You'll get more sleep that way.

― Andy K (Andy K), Friday, 10 September 2004 14:04 (twenty-one years ago)

that isn't a very nice thing to say mr. K.

(not that I disagree or anything)

He's DJing at the Glasgow art school on Saturday night - hurrah!
