'Koltun' stands as a fascinating chapter in the story of Perfect Stranger's album, "Broadcasting & Receiving." Originating around 2010-2011, 'Koltun,' Russian for "Hair Knot," was initially a tribute to Guess Who's 'Song.' However, creating a composition with multiple key changes and count shifts proved ambitious given dancefloor demands. To make it more manageable, I retained the bassline groove and key changes, omitting the original samples for its debut.

In the autumn of 2022, while attending Ziohm Festival in Brazil, a melody in Captain Hook's set jogged my memory. At first, I couldn't locate what it reminded me of but eventually, it came to me that It resembled good old 'Koltun.' Upon this realization, I decided to revive the track, modernizing its sound while retaining its essence. Initially intended for live performances, the rejuvenated version evolved over time. I incorporated elements like an Egyptian band and a violin solo, accompanied by vocal fragments and singing. I also experimented with increasing the tempo, making it adaptable for Perfect Stranger sets. However, the vocal accompaniment was eventually removed, and the composition underwent refinements, including a dynamic snare roll.

Koltun (Second Return)

"Ich hatte es hier drin... Und da drin... Das ist das Schöne an Musik, sie können sie dir nicht nehmen. Habt ihr bei Musik nie sowas empfunden? 
Man braucht Musik, um nicht zu vergessen.

Vergessen?

Um nicht zu vergessen, dass es noch Orte auf der Welt gibt, die nicht aus Stein sind. Dass in deinem Inneren etwas ist, was sie nicht kriegen können... das dir allein gehört."



Perfect Stranger is the stage name for California-based, Israeli electronic musician Yuli Fershtat. The Perfect Stranger project was created in February 2005 and within 2 years of its debut became critically acclaimed all over the globe. Perfect Stranger ultimately created his own sub-genre in the psychedelic scene by presenting a totally distinctive sound characterized by groovy playful beats and patiently built compositions that often bridge between progressive trance and techno with a presence of tribal and psychedelic elements.

Perfect Stranger has released 3 full artist albums, 3 remix albums, 3 compilations and appears on well over a hundred other releases (compilations, EPs, albums, etc.). He also owns & runs the “Digital Structures” label, where he publishes more tech-orientated sounds under the Yuli Fershtat moniker.
