Although DJ Koze has had a taste of pop success with his band Fischmob (straight-up Hip Hop skills, political content, dry humor, crazy spoken samples, prank phone calls, etc...), he’s always been equally interested in experimenting with other forms of electronic music from ambient to break beats to wild sound collages from a myriad of musical genres.
An especially notable voyage in to uncharted musical waters, Adolf Noise (produced and performed by DJ Koze and his buddy Marcnesium) turned many a head around.
Taking the artist into a deeper Electronic direction, “Adolf Noise“ features a far more abstract and unusual use of samples and grooves while keeping the listener on his / her toes by incorporating liberal usage of football commentary, television show snippets, radio plays, and telephone terror with drug-delinquents.
It was this record, that made people, that were normally more into Techno or Electronica, sit up and take notice and it is now these people who are his biggest fans on dance floors between Tokyo and Hamburg - a development of successfully melting a world of musical styles with the power-blending strength of Club Culture.
The year 2002 made DJ Koze the deck wizard of Hamburg trio International Pony, whose debut album 'We Love Music' (Skint/Sony) was received to critical acclaim.
As a live DJ, Koze builds his sets on house and disco tracks and uses his well-honed Hip Hop skills blending it all together in a furious mix, making it seem that the term “House Rocking“ was coined with him in mind.
The readers of Germany’s trend-setting SPEX magazine correctly voted DJ Koze the DJ Of The Years for 1999 - 2004 - a well earned title, playing numerous shows all over the country and in different parts of the world.
My Plans
DJ Koze Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And why does this make me laugh?
When I notice the world is falling it on
I will run in bath
And why does this make me laugh?
When I notice the world is falling it on
I will run in bath.
Why, why does my face always bring?
Why does it not save flight?
When controlling my love, seems like
I will run in bath.
I'm known for the things I'm
My ocean's of life is not..
To create us a man a lovers of
It seems like the roads will hope.
Why do my plans always change?
And why does this make me laugh?
When I notice the world is falling it on
I will run in path.
The lyrics of DJ Koze's song "My Plans" seem to touch on a sense of futility and detachment that the artist feels, as he tries to navigate the unpredictability of life. He questions why his plans always end up changing, and why he finds it amusing when he realizes that the world is falling apart around him. The line "When controlling my love, seems like I will run in bath" suggests that even when he tries to steer himself in a certain direction, he ends up feeling trapped or helpless.
The repetition of the lines "Why does this make me laugh?" and "I will run in bath" creates a circular and almost obsessive quality to the song. The image of running in a bath could symbolize either a desperate attempt to escape or a resigned acceptance of one's limitations. The final lines of the song, "It seems like the roads will hope" capture a sense of longing or aspiration, but also a sense of uncertainty whether he'll ever find what he's looking for. Overall, the song seems to convey a mood of melancholy and uncertainty, with a wry sense of humor and a poetic use of imagery.
