David Kochs

David’s musical journey began several years ago, influenced by a wide range of artists including Timbaland, The Prodigy and Gesaffelstein. Over time, he has developed a distinct sound and become a recognized name in the electronic music scene. His breakthrough came in early 2019 with the release of “Ghost Trance” on Glasgow-based label Belters. The track got picked up and played out by the big names such as Dixon, Âme, Peggy Gou, Keinemusik, Solomun and Roman Flügel. They turned the tune into their favourite hidden weapon, and thanks to that support, „Ghost Trance“ was picked by mixmag‘s „Big Tunes“ section as number one, comparing it to „2019‘s answer to Roman Flügel‘s Geht‘s Noch?“.

After contributing to Innervisions‘ „Secret Weapons“ Series in late 2021, David‘s debut album „Warming Unit“ was released on Belters in 2022. It‘s an impressive next step, a rough, analogue and almost brutally sweet glimpse into David‘s artistic vision, and it received worldwide recognition. The record combines a rough, analog sound with melodic elements, occasionally moving into darker, more textured territory. The title track „Night Leaving“ is listed in mixmag‘s „Best tracks of 2022“.

In 2023, another track was released via Innervisions. 2024, David put out on both Solomun’s label Diynamic and Jennifer Cardini’s Correspondant, further broadening his musical output and presence within the international club scene.
