Klaus Kotai, a Viennese who had made Berlin his home, found
a receptive audience in Cologne as early as the mid-90s with
his records on Elektro Music Department. This club and label
conglomerate, run with co-producer and DJ Mo Loschelder and
the artist Daniel Pflumm, was working towards a radical
streamlining of techno. A certain kinship with the
pre-Kompakt sound of Cologne could not be denied. They
exchanged greetings from afar.
Then came the 2000s, an exciting era for club music, rich in
innovation and characterised above all by the burgeoning
genres of minimal and electro clash. In 2002, Kotai's
'Sucker DJ' was released, featuring the brilliant remix by
Marcin "Highfish" Kozlowski, on WMF Records - the label
belonging to the eponymous cult Berlin club. A true hit that
struck a perfect balance between both worlds and was played
across genres by virtually every DJ.
Exactly 20 years after the last re-release on Elektro Music
Department (also distributed by Kompakt at the time), it's
now time for 'Sucker DJ' to make a comeback. Judging by
Marco Cariolaa's 'Cringe Vibes', it's needed more urgently
than ever.
Remastered, with new artwork by Daniel Pflumm, and still
"fucking up your place".
