DJ Koze Announces ‘Spiralen’ Double A-Side & Shares Title Track

Music

DJ Koze returns with ‘Spiralen’, a double A-side arriving 12th June via PAMPA RECORDS. The title track is out now — a slow rotation in motion, already dissolving its own centre.

There’s a familiar instability here. Not chaos exactly, more a deliberate refusal to hold shape for too long. ‘Spiralen’ behaves like its name suggests: ideas looping back through themselves, melodies loosening at the edges, rhythm turning gently inwards as if pulled by something just out of frame. Koze doesn’t build tracks so much as set conditions for them to drift.

It follows 2025’s Music Can Hear Us, though the scale has shifted. Where that record sprawled outward in dense, collaborative weather systems, ‘Spiralen’ feels closer to the centre of the room — smaller space, same distortion of depth. Everything still bends. It just does so with more focus, more pressure.

The title track moves like thought catching itself mid-loop. Images arrive and don’t fully settle. Meaning appears, softens, slips sideways. Have a watch of the video here:

“In your eyes, spirals are turning. They pull me deeper than any mind can reach. The world goes soft around its edges. And everything drifts into no man’s land”

On the AA-side, ‘Wo’s Patric?!?’ loosens the frame further. Humour sits right beside warmth, interruption beside melody. It feels almost conversational, as if the track is reacting in real time to its own existence. Less statement, more presence. Something half-grinned, half-felt.

Koze has spent decades working in this space between control and drift, where electronic music stops behaving like structure and starts behaving like weather. ‘Spiralen’ doesn’t interrupt that trajectory. It tightens it. Compresses it. Watches what happens when the spiral is drawn closer to its own axis.
