Keinemusik is a network with the label as the pulse pumping centre. Driven particularly by the spirit that moves the collective behind the imprint. The spirit to find your own agenda and let nobody get in the way. The spirit of refining House and Techno off the beaten path. Be it within their own tracks, within productions of other sorts or DJ-sets. The spirit of recall value within record- and flyer-artworks and everything intermediate in word and image surrounding releases and parties. And the spirit of diversification – Rampa’s effect-gadget-venture TEILE being one example. Keinemusik’s own booking department ‘Worldwide Dancing Club’, established in 2018, being another.

Keinemusik has been around since 2009. It has been naming an existing friendship and linked interests of the four members – &ME, Adam Port, Rampa and Reznik. A more or less constant count of five releases per year have been released ever since, solely laid down by members of the crew. And a considerable count of label-parties went down, not only in Berlin, but around all international focal points for electronic music. And surely, there’s plenty more where those came from. So see you soon in a record store or on a dancefloor in your area!

For Rune Reilly Kölsch, Kompakt has become a great label to call home. In 2013 the German imprint celebrated 20 years of record releases at the cutting edge of electronic music, championed in June by one of the most genre re-defining albums and personal music projects for an era: Kölsch’s landmark long player, ‘1977’.

A melodic autobiography on black wax, the Kölsch project has seen 36/37-year-old Rune take stock of a diverse and successful production career and draw upon his own personal beginnings: a nostalgia for childhood, family, friends and the confusion of applying his split-cultural heritage to what it means to think of ‘home’. As Rune freely admits, “being half Irish, half German and living in Denmark – it was all one big messy period of my life.” 

Born to hippie parents in the freetown of Christiania (a commune-like autonomous borough of the Danish capital Copenhagen) his childhood was spent surrounded by creativity. His mother was an artist whose family had roots in German politics and his father a singer songwriter who travelled through Asia playing music in the early 70's. Kölsch, however, did miss out on building friendships and found solace in making up “this imaginary world that I would spend days in,” before the family moved to Germany – a period of memories, relations and characters from which ‘1977’ derives its titles.

For Rune, the tracks he began building from 2010 took in this personal reflection, his being “completely locked in to reminiscing about what shaped me as a kid and into the individual that I am now” – contemplating his unique past to form the brickwork of ‘1977’, one of the most future-facing techno albums of recent years.

Influenced by hip hop, pop and the incredible legacy of Jeff Mills and Derrick May, Rune started producing in 1995, embarking on a string of success stories. In 2003 he released the multi-million selling, saxophone-infused ‘Calabria’, that saw collaboration requests pouring in from artists as diverse as Nicki Minaj, Shakira and Flo Rida. He then set up Tattoorecs – releasing pioneering underground tracks with no titles, just tattoos for artwork, that garnered critical acclaim and support from minimal and techno trailblazers such as Sven Väth, Richie Hawtin, Magda, Tiefschwarz and Ricardo Villalobos.

This appreciation of the complete musical spectrum has gifted Rune with a devotion to groove and melodics and with it the dexterity to input real creative change to the genres he reveres, not least his beloved techno. “2010 was the year of the ketamine house wave, where the music was 118 bpm and everything was extremely boring”, reflects Rune. “I wanted some melodic techno, some energy back in this scene. People needed the energy to express themselves and go crazy for a bit.”

This notion faced opposition, even from within Rune’s close circles. But it was Kompakt founder Michael Mayer who had the insight to see what Kölsch was trying to achieve. Rune’s conviction that vibrations and melodics are the key to human response had tipped the balance, underlined by his experience as a hip hop DJ where he “needed something to catch me and drag me in. And that’s what techno should do!” Here too he drew on his love of Jeff Mills and Derrick May, recalling how “they used to make mistakes all the time. It would be a big mash of all kinds of stuff, but at least something was happening. That’s what I was missing and that’s what I’m trying to change with the Kölsch project.”

The result is ‘1977’, a personal collection of dancefloor destroyers that are continuing to send clubs and festivals across the globe into melodic supernova. Take this video of Kölsch’s set at Belgium’s I Love Techno festival, one of Rune’s 2013 highlights, where “people were doing sit downs, singing along to all the tracks”. Watch it. It puts the hairs up on the back of your neck. “The response was overwhelming,” said Rune in a recent interview with Mixmag (who named Kölsch as one of their ‘Stars Of 2013’), as “when you think about it, it was just a bunch of childhood memories with a kickdrum underneath.” 

Elsewhere he’s ripped up the airways with an acclaimed Essential Mix for Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1, delivered his incendiary soundscape to Singapore’s world-renowned ZoukOut Festival, boomed his live show through the heaving basement of London’s XOYO and played the hallowed Space Terrace – in his words “a boyhood dream since I started going to Ibiza in 1999. That was what I wanted from life!” So opening Amnesia in 2014 with Joris Voorn will be a bonus then...

While these are reasons enough to keep the beaming smile beneath Kölsch’s trademark black fedora, his humility remains just as striking. While tracks like ‘Goldfisch’ have taken pivotal positions in the set lists of world class DJs from across the dance music spectrum – traversing the underground with Seth Troxler, while simultaneously providing credible new euphoric highs for the likes of Axwell – Rune remains joyously down to earth. All despite producing, with ‘1977’, an album that has crossed as many cultural and musical boundaries as his own childhood past.

From the face-twisting melodic drive of ‘Opa’ and ‘Bappedekkel’, to the chord-surfing piano groove of ‘Der Alte’ and the euphoric crescendos of ‘Lorely’, ‘Oma’ and ‘All That Matters’ (all hits in different countries), the fact remains that whether in your living room, on the dancefloors of the world’s greatest parties, or simply in your headphones on your way home, Kölsch’s ‘1977’ has re-defined techno and become an achievement that speaks for itself.

Er war ein vorweihnachtliches Geschenk für seine Eltern und die Kreativabteilung aus Berlin. Der zukünftige DJ und Tätowierer, Rene Deepreen (René Scholz) erblickte am 14. Dezember 1977 im Lichtenberger Kiez das Licht der Welt. Ein wenig war sein beruflicher Weg vorbestimmt, denn die Familie war schon damals sehr künstlerisch veranlagt. Die Leidenschaft für Musik bestimmt bis heute sein Leben und das wird wohl auch für immer so bleiben. Die Schule meisterte Deepreen ohne große Schwierigkeiten, mit einer zweijährigen Episode in Dänemark. Nach der Schule zeigte Deepreen der Welt seine vielfältigen Talente. Langjähriges Vagabundieren durch die Berufslandschaft führte schließlich zur Ergreifung einer soliden Berufsausbildung als Mediengestalter. Schon während des Studiums verdiente er sich sein Geld als Tätowierer und sammelte Erfahrungen in mehreren Studios. Vom Studio bis zum Nachtschwärmen durch die Berliner Clubszene, erzielte sein Musikgespür immer größer werdende Anerkennung. In dieser Zeit lernte er den DJ, Labelbesitzer und Produzenten Alfred Heinrichs kennen, der ihn mit seinem Erfolg in der internationalen Musikszene inspirierte. Mit dem DJ. Duo Hennig und Scholz feierte Deepreen erste Erfolge. Es folgten Auftritte in diversen Clubs und sogar in London durften sie sich zum Besten geben. Für Deepreen ging ein Traum in Erfüllung. Jetzt tanzte er nicht nur in seinen Lieblingsclubs, sondern stand selbst hinterm DJ-Pult und durfte mit seinen Beats die Tanzfläche rocken. Langsam wurde es auch Zeit für ein Soloprojekt, von dem Deepreen schon lange schwärmte. Mit Deep House und Nu Disco füllt Deepreen nunmehr die Herzen seiner Fans. Ein neues Licht in der deutschen Electro-Szene wird in der Zukunft für die Eine oder Andere Überraschung sorgen...wir sind gespannt…..

He was a pre-Christmas gift for his parents and the creative department from Berlin. The future DJ and tattoo artist, Rene Deepreen (René Scholz) was born on December 14, 1977 in Lichtenberg. His career path was a little predetermined, cause the family was already very into arts. The passion for music determines his life until today and that will probably remain forever. The school was finished by Deepreen without much difficulty, also with a two-year episode in Denmark. After school, Deepreen showed the world his talents and is working as a media designer. Already during his studies, he earned his money as a tattoo artist and DJ. During this time he met the DJ, label owner and producer Alfred Heinrichs, who inspired him with his success in the international music scene. With the DJ. Duo Hennig and Scholz celebrated Deepreen first successes. It was followed by appearances in various clubs, even in London they were allowed to play. For Deepreen, a dream came true. Now hes not only dancin in his favorite clubs, but also stood behind the DJ desk himself and was allowed to rock the dance floor with his beats. With Deep House and Nu Disco Deepreen now fills the hearts of his fans. A new light in the German electro scene will cause some surprises in the future ... we are curious ... ..
