Berlin DJ Paul Kalkbrenner’s remix of Leonard Cohen’s new single “You Want It Darker” is available everywhere today. The electronic artist debuted his rendition of the Leonard Cohen track at Lollapalooza Berlin last month. Kalkbrenner gives Cohen’s hypnotic song of religious exploration a booming bass and an upbeat tempo.

Paul Kalkbrenner is one of techno's most successful artists, and been active in the Berlin techno scene since the 90s. He has produced seven studio albums and his single “Sky and Sand” went Platinum with over 200,000 copies sold. It charted on the German singles chart for 121 weeks, breaking the German singles record. In 2014 he was asked to perform in front of the Brandenburg Gate for 500,000 people to mark the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, and this year he was the first techno artist to ever play the main stage of the famed Tomorrowland Festival. After signing with Columbia in 2015, Kalkbrenner released his album “7” in August 2015.

Leonard Cohen’s 14th studio album, YOU WANT IT DARKER arrives in stores on October 21 and is available for pre-order now. Listen to the title-track HERE.
