DJ Koze Releases New Track “Wie schön du bist”: Listen Now

DJ Koze Teams Up with Beatsteaks’ Arnim Teutoburg-Weiß for Heartfelt Tribute in “Wie schön du bist”

In a delightful twist of collaboration, DJ Koze has joined forces with Arnim Teutoburg-Weiß, the charismatic frontman of German punk-rock heroes Beatsteaks, alongside the indie ensemble Düsseldorf Düsterboys for his latest track, “Wie schön du bist.” Released as a homage to the soulful German singer-songwriter Holger Biege, the new single infuses nostalgia with fresh artistry, transforming a classic lyric into a vibrant sonic experience.

“Wie schön du bist” pulls from Biege’s transportive 1978 hit “Bleib doch,” echoing its most poignant line: “Du hast erzählt, gelacht/Mir gezeigt, wie schön du bist.” Koze deftly reshapes this lyrical gem into a modern soundscape, blending his eclectic electronic style with Teutoburg-Weiß’s emotive vocals to create a track that is both intimate and expansive. The song captures the essence of beauty and joy, mixing the lush, warm tones typical of Koze’s work with dynamic rock elements brought by Teutoburg-Weiß and the Düsseldorf Düsterboys.

The single follows Koze’s earlier 2023 release, “Highly Recommended,” a collaborative effort with British producer Gerry Read that showcased Koze’s signature ability to marry diverse sounds into cohesive musical narratives. While fans eagerly await a follow-up to his acclaimed 2018 album Knock Knock, whispers of new material circulate following the 2022 release of the Candidasa EP, which hinted at a full-length project set to drop in 2024.

With “Wie schön du bist,” Koze continues his journey of pushing musical boundaries while acknowledging the profound influence of past luminaries. The new track stands as a testament to the evolving nature of music; it’s a contemporary homage that reimagines and revives older sentiments for a new audience.
