Was ist wunderbar? Techno/house DJ and producer, Stefan Kozalla aka DJ Koze, from Hamburg, Germany.

 He is also behind a considerable amount of side projects. Koze’s hip hop roots come from his role as a DJ in his band, Fischmob. One of their key tracks, “Power,” even made its way to the top of German pop charts. “Adolf Noise,” created and performed by Koze and his artist friend, Marcnesium, blends electro with commercial media samples to produce quite the musical synonym of abstract. Additionally, he’s the turntablist of the Hamburg trio, International Pony. His niche is his dabbling with house and disco tracks, but since his first love is hip hop, he skillfully blends the three sounds to create a set that is distinct from other DJs. Koze takes the Sunday School Grove stage of EZoo on Saturday, September 1^st at 2:40 PM. We look forward to checking him out live!
