Kölsch has announced a new live tour concept, Kölsch and the Machine, plus an accompanying album.
Debuting at this year’s Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), the live show will reimagine the Danish artist’s sound “through the raw, analog beauty of modular synthesizers”.
Announcing the show via Instagram on Friday, Kölsch wrote: “For the first time ever, I’ll be bringing key parts of my personal studio setup on stage. This is more than a performance — it’s a deep, intimate journey into the way I create music, blending live improvisation with the melodic techno that has shaped my identity.
“Every sound you’ll hear is drawn from my own catalog, but nothing will play out the same way twice. With modular systems at the core, I’ll be reshaping familiar tracks in real time — sculpting and bending them into something new, alive, and unpredictable,” he continued.
Kölsch and the Machine will premiere at ADE 2025 on 23rd October before continuing to Berlin, London, Paris, Antwerp and Madrid throughout the autumn. Pre-sale tour tickets are on sale at 10am (BST) on 30th July here.
Supporting the tour is Kölsch’s new album ‘KINEMA’, set for release in October, which embodies the same analog ethos as the live show. Translated from the Greek for ‘movement’ or ‘to move’, the record traces Kölsch’s musical evolution by pairing personal narratives with moving grooves.
“‘KINEMA’ is a reflection of my journey as an artist”, Kölsch explained. “It’s about revisiting the music that shaped my career and giving it new life, creating a unique experience that blends nostalgia with innovation.”
More details about ‘KINEMA’ are expected to follow in the coming weeks.
