{"product_id":"pick-up","title":"Pick Up","description":"\u003cp\u003eDJ Koze might be one of the world's best producers, but above all he's a DJ, and it's his DJ ear that governs. Just as in a great set, so with his releases: \u003ci\u003eSeeing Aliens\u003c\/i\u003e came out of nowhere, a big buzzing beast of a track, to announce that Koze was back on the scene and prime everyone for the coming album, \u003ci\u003eKnock Knock\u003c\/i\u003e. But now that Koze has your attention, it's time to remind everyone what's most important about club music, pull things back, take a turn to the left, and get deep into the groove. Thus \u003ci\u003ePick Up\u003c\/i\u003e: the second single from \u003ci\u003eKnock Knock\u003c\/i\u003e is 100% pure groove, doubly so in the extended 12” version. In a sense it's incredibly familiar – it is essentially a filter disco record, very close to something you could imagine coming out of Paris around the turn of the millennium. But of course, this is Koze. Nothing is normal or familiar in his world, and he's taken this most foundational of clubland staples into new territory. Flipping samples of Gladys Knight and the Pips \u003ci\u003eNeither One Of Us (Wants to Be the First to Say Goodbye)\u003c\/i\u003e and Melba Moore’s \u003ci\u003ePick Me Up, I’ll Dance\u003c\/i\u003e, it creates something completely airborne, shot through with emotions such as gods must feel: not quite explicable to the human mind but strong enough to knock you off your feet. In its way it's absolutely as powerful as \u003ci\u003eSeeing Aliens\u003c\/i\u003e, but it comes in like the proverbial iron fist in a glove of velvet. The flip, a ten-minute new track, \u003ci\u003eThe Love Truck\u003c\/i\u003e is a big contrast again. If \u003ci\u003ePick Up\u003c\/i\u003e is giddy flight, \u003ci\u003eThe Love Truck\u003c\/i\u003e is woozy floating. Its sharp, clicking percussion recalls 2000s minimal techno, but this time absolutely nothing is generic. The long, intense, on-and-off bass tones, the flickers of birdsong, the pure voices slipping in backwards as if from the future... it's all like the most blissful dream, and culminates in a coda so subtle yet so beautiful it's like ever time you've ever seen the sun rise and thought “I never want this to end”, all the while understanding deep down that the fleeting nature of the pleasure is also what give it its power. But of course, being created with that consummate DJ's ear, it's also full of the thrill of wondering what Koze has in store next.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pampa","offers":[{"title":"Black 12\"","offer_id":50416926556491,"sku":"1035325","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/PAMPA031_169541a0_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726712527","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/pick-up","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
