November: 8 electro releases you need to hear this month

Kölsch 'Speicher 93' (Kompakt)

In recent years, Kölsch’s genre-bending output has tended to occupy the space between house and techno, but every so often he likes to throw us an electrifying curveball. On his latest EP ‘Speicher 93’, the Danish producer is on imperious form with two contrasting tracks, but it’s acidic b-side ‘KIR’ that’s most potent. It begins with thickly set kicks which are then wrapped around complex cascading synths, before the whole track is brought to the boil for a fine finish. It’s one of his most memorable cuts yet.
