I NFO
Listen to "The Angst & The Angst Pt. 2," the lead single from DJ He ll's forthcoming album Teufelswerk, and you'll appreciate the direction Hell is taking. Teufelswerk – the German for "Devil's Work" – is Hell's mast erpiece. Across 16 exquisite tracks divided into two themes, "Night" and "Day", Hell weaves an intoxicating spell. Celestial vocals cascade around an acoustic g uitar figure as a motorik rhythm propels it ever skywards, sharing space, spirit ually at least, with Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk and Can.

Hell, with his o ld friend Peter Kruder produced the "Day" half assisted by noted multi-instrumen talists Christian Prommer and Roberto Di Gioia. This is Hell's enchanting interp retation of kosmische musik. "The Angst & The Angst Pt. 2" joins tracks "Germani a", "Hell's Kitchen" and "I Prefer Women to Men Anyway" to unravel with sinuous grace, culminating in a cosmic reading of Hawkwind's "Silver Machine".
The "Night" album is raw mix of Chicago and Detroit influences combined with Hell's swashbuckling approach to electronics, this portion is for the dance floo r. Ten-minute jams such as "Wonderland" and "Electronic Germany" zoom and thrust with menacing intent. Hell hooked up once more with hip-hop superstar P. Diddy for freestyle jack-track and future single, "The DJ". The most pleasant, eyebrow -raising moment here is the collaboration with Bryan Ferry, "U Can Dance". This serpentine disco burner, a smouldering highlight of Teufelswerk, finally unites two of modern pop's suavest outsiders.

"I have done kosmische musik in a new way," he says. "This is where I come from, I grew up with the early Ger man electronic pioneers of music, and this is why I went in this direction. Ofte n it is called German electronic avant-garde, or psychedelic music. I went back to the '70s and tried to do it in my own way." DJ HELL

For this sing le release Hell invited Henrik Schwarz to bring a touch of the night to "The Ang st Pt. 1and Pt. 2." As a stand-alone piece of music it's as solid as the dance f loors it will be played on, but immediately hints at the wealth of ideas that ex ist on this forthcoming album. Teufelswerk is a lush, narcotic odyssey, the albu m sounds unlike anything he's produced in the past. "The album is very personal, he says. All my knowledge is there...I don't think I can make a better record ."
