KIMONO KOPS

Dreaming of Miami, I got me two tacky plastic flamingos some months ago, an incident that marked the beginningof Kimono Kops, where the flamboyant world of remix edits has made my heart glow and my fingers itch. Moved by the scratch culture and bored by the ballast of rock-music-as-an-attitude since forever, I have tried out my idea of a decent song on various tunes. Reworks include Sally Shapiro’s “HoldMe So tight”, M.I.A.’s “Boyz” and Logan Lynn’s “Feed Me to the Wolves”. Important for me is to like, or even love, the original but nevertheless take it to a different destination.

Living in Bremen, Germany, that could mean Rimini, Rio or someplace else. Because a bird never flew on one wing, I also produce my own tracks. This, of course, is great fun too. It allows me to be more rigorous in my dancepop fantasies – a most satisfying sublimation.
