On his third full-length album, German producer Justus Köhncke lays aside his previous infatuation with pop music and turns his attention almost solely to the dancefloor.

”Feuerland”

That said, look elsewhere if you’re in search of hands-in-the-air big room tunes. Köhncke announces his intentions with the first track, “Yacht,” which charts a leisurely course through sprawling acid basslines and broad swells of synth pads—this is dance music loosely in the neo-disco vein, but created for those willing to take their time and enjoy some eccentric arrangements. “Parage” is a wicked funk tune, with tight strings, high-stepping drums and a ridiculously catchy keyboard line just made for strutting, while “$26” drops echoing stabs around a rock-steady kick and a constantly morphing acid line for four minimal minutes before gradually introducing moody swathes of synths. Köhncke may be focusing on the dancefloor, but it’s a weird and wonderful one at that.
