2LP – Standard Edition Black Vinyl. Includes download code (2026 Repress). Speicher staple and renowned club juggernaut Klsch debuts on Kompakt with the full-length 1977, an extraordinary collection of club gems that introduces his earlier masterpieces to exclusive new material. Here, the epic, the rad and the snappy find themselves under one expertly crafted groove, making this album an essential choice for both home clubbers and floor hounds your new best friend is here and its a record. Despite the name and despite our well-documented love for colognes beer, Klsch isnt a local and he didnt label himself after the famed brew. Even with a much-acclaimed print run and a series of venerated live appearances under his belt, award-winning Danish producer Rune Reilly Klsch has to regularly duck quizzical questions about his heritage. And yet he couldnt be clearer: take, for example, established floor favourites Opa (german for grandfather), Der Alte (a classic German TV series) or Silberpfeil (a legendary german racing car) those track titles all refer to runes memories from a childhood spent in germany. 1977 isnt a simple best of hack job, however: with new crackers Basshund, Bappedekkel and Eiswinter lighting the fire, Klsch doesnt need to worry about future impact. And then theres a cut like oma, an emotive counterpart to the slightly sardonic opa and every bit as engaging as canonical hyperballad all that matters. For the grand finale, Rune turns to Loreley, the inaugural release of the project and to this day a massive banger in its own right – so powerful in fact, that the shock needs to be absorbed by two more tracks: the sweeping Wasserschutz and a trojan horse called Felix, originally intended to be an album outro of sorts but then someone pushed the button and the trans-dimensional portal sprang to life.
