Recent Interview with DJ KAOS;


Hi Kaos, whats poppin' Dawg? ( Lodown Magazine, June 09 )

All good T, thanks! Just have a million things on my mind at the moment. Fuck, I just wanna go and board or something but I'm pretty much stuck here right now. It's cool though, my LP is edited and ready to go. Some singles coming out here and there. Yeah, when this is done I plan to spend my summertime in Portugal! My homeboy Tiago is out there, the beaches are beautiful, I'm gonna get stoked and surf all day! Eazy man, you're free this summer come out and join in the party...



Where have you been last night?

In the arms of a beautiful lady. Seriously, where are you spinning records these days? Well, I'm playing quite a lot around Europe right now. It's great 'cause the distance between cities is short. USA is different, it's crazy to fly from NYC to Cali in 6 hours or something to one gig and go back the next day with a crazy hangover. I'm glad to live in Europe. Berlin is good, great parties, late nites and all that. There are kids partying from Thursday till late Sunday without sleeping. Insane, I can't do that anymore...



What's the flavor of the month?

Good question, dude! Being able to be in Berlin and finish the record, thinking about titles and artwork, being creative about stuff like that... cruise my bike, since we had some beautiful spring days recently. This kind of stuff keeps my head free and positive. Hang with a nice lady! Make plans! Have fun!



What do you think of laptop DJs?

Gay stuff, not for me.



Would you call yourself old school?

Yes! Open minded old school! I'm ready for the music... I wanna hear more timeless sounds, there are too many short-lived things around. Some are already gone after one weekend, I dont like that... I don't wanna play music like this to the kids, they should know where it's coming from.



Which labels are you juggling with?

Well, right now my 12" "LOVE THE NITE AWAY" on Rong, DFA has just been released. And the reactions are pretty damn good! The "ITALIENS DO IT BETTER" Ep is also ready to go and will be released in June, under the name "MUCHO SWASH EP" (collab with dj partner Tiago/ resident at LUX club Lisboa). "REKIDS" will release another Kaos track called "HARD TO EARN" with an Killer "SHITROBOT dub mix", hopefully there will be promos in June! And the small but very stylish label Astrolab (home of Pilooski), just released " FLACO RYTHMO ". An unreleased mix I did for "CHK CHK CHK" !!! Yep, pretty busy ...the Lp will be out after the summer, but im still dealing with the labels. Lets see, everything looks pretty promising...



Tell me about writing music for the forthcoming album.

Well, I wrote the whole record in a place called Starnberg, that's near Munich. A beautiful place, nearby the Lake Starnberg. We worked in an old farmhouse. Then I moved all my shit back to Berlin to finish the recordings with Jochen Schmallbach ( producer of Tiefschwarz, M.A.N.D.Y etc ) He has mad skills when it comes to production, mixing and all that.



Taking Drugs?

Quit.



Talking Heads?

Every day.



Whats comin' up?

A beautiful LP.
