About
Kölsch is the main alias of Danish producer Rune Reilly Kølsch, born of German and Irish heritage and raised in the Copenhagen hippie commune Christiania. Signed to Cologne's Kompakt label, he built his reputation through a trilogy of autobiographical albums - 1977 (2013), 1983 (2015) and 1989 (2017) - that placed melodic techno on an emotionally charged, orchestral course. His track 'Grey' earned an Electronic Music Awards nomination for Record of the Year in 2017, and a Cercle livestream from the Eiffel Tower that same year drew over 10 million viewers worldwide.
