DJ Koze three-hour set
By Kit Macdonald
Stefan Kozalla, aka DJ Koze, is one of the finest everything in the game: one of the finest producers, one of the finest remixers and certainly one of the finest DJs, which makes this extended three-hour set at Nitsa something to make an extra-special effort to spurn the twin attractions of couch and Uniqlo Heattech loungewear for.
He knows it too (in an interview a few years ago he was asked who the world's best remixer was, and replied that he'd thought about this question a lot and eventually come up with the answer that "it's me. Yes, it's me.") but that's just fine given the endlessly high quality of his warm, imaginative and groove-filled work.
Another confirmed treasure of the German house and techno scene, Ada, will play before Koze in Nitsa, while downstairs in Astin there are DJ sets from Mount Kimbie, Actress and Stein, and a live set from Nick León.
