DJ Hell’s new album Zukunftsmusik will be released on May 12. Zukunftsmusik, which comes eight years after Hell’s latest studio-album Teufelswerk, will be released under his record label International Deejay Gigolo Records.
On his new album, the pioneer of electro-clash music shows us his passion for breaking the rules and eroding all genre boundaries – Zukunftsmusik is a mirror of his eclecticism, it is a fusion of ‘70s and ‘80s electronic music and new synthesizer sounds. DJ Hell has mixed the past and the future to create something new.
The album also pays homage to the gay culture – the video for the lead single “I Want U” features animated gay artworks by Tom of Finland. Big-name artists such as Marcel Dettmann, Terence Fixmer and The Hacker made their own remix of the song. Zukunftsmusik includes a collaboration with Stereo MC’s too.
Helmut Geiger alias DJ Hell worked on the album for two years. The result is a synthesis between the past and the future. Nobody would have ever expected something like that from DJ Hell.
The digital album is due out on May 12. The CD and vinyl can be pre-ordered from April 28.
