Kimono Kops, a.k.a. Thomas Dören, is a German dance producer who has single-handedly restored our faith in electro-pop—kind of like the first time we heard Erasure or Bronski Beat. Kimono Kops first blasted onto our radar when we heard his mind-blowing remix of Sally Shapiro's "Hold Me So Tight", which somehow managed to make the song even more italo disco. Since he’s done remixes for Bloc Party, M.I.A., Goldfrapp, and others, and his music always crafts a bouncy, fun, dancey universe where synth lines are the main focus of life and everything is totally delectable and three minutes long. Today though, we are releasing one of his artist tracks, which is just as compelling as his remix work: the dreamy “Eine Lesbische Liebe”, which mixes samples of acoustic guitars and German spoken word to make an electronic patchwork that’s somewhere between Mirwais, Air and The Field. It’s kind of magical.
