krautrock, ndw, electronic music from the future

About Me


A bit about Kosmische Club:
It was Julian Cope’s idea... "Someone should start a Krautrock club" he said.
So we did.
After an amazing launch party with legendary psychedelic explorer Brian Barritt, the Kosmische Club quickly established itself as a place to hear some of the most forward-thinking, independent and downright funky music ever made. Cherished by the open-minded and only very occasionally visited by men with beards, the Kosmische club’s remit slowly began to include the best danceable, experimental and underground music, from vintage krautrock to underground NDW to minimal synth to avant-disco to wired (and non-beard-strokey) electronica
Those who have entertained us in the past: Cluster, Add N to (X), Delia Gonzales & Gavin Russom (DFA), Damo Suzuki (Can), Circle, Felix Kubin, Chrome Hoof, Acid Mothers Temple, Jackie-O-Motherfucker, Jean-Hervé Péron (Faust), Michael Rother (Neu!/Harmonia), Cobra Killer, DAF Dos, Turn On (Stereolab), Charles Hayward, Cul de Sac, They Came From The Stars I Saw Them, Shit & Shine, Ruins, Oh, V/VM, Couch, Ommm (ADAADAT), Romvelope (ADAADAT), Asja Auf Capri, Sunburned Hand of the Man, hush arbors, Sunroof!, Miasmos, Mutarotations (Loop, Main), Hans-Joachim Roedelius, Appliance, Tele:Funken, A-Musik, Salvatore, Kling Klang, Lithops (Mouse on Mars), Echoboy, E-Da (Boredoms), Miasma and the Carousel of Headless Horses, Kreidler, Karamasov, Global Goon, Now, Rothko, Sonic Boom (and Experimental Audio Research), The Vanity Set, Freeform, Radio 9, Prey, Op:l Bastards, Zukanican, Khan with Kid Congo Powers, B. Fleischmann, The Beale, Molotov Organisation, Sonic Catering Band, Shock Headed Peters, Amal Gamal Ensemble, Burning Idiot Noise, ISAN, Zaum, Hunting Lodge, Duracell, The Early Years, and so the list goes on...
We have been the subject of C4, BBC and (German) ZDF TV programmes, a 5-page article in The Face, done 2 UK tours, dates in Dublin, Bristol, Manchester and Oslo, guested on XFM and Resonance FM and had some of the most debauched nights known to London’s clubland.
We have hosted launch parties for releases by Can, Neu! and Hans Joachim Roedelius (Cluster).
Guest DJs have included Barry 7 (Add N to (X)), Stereolab DJs, Thomas Fehlmann, Dr. Alex Patterson (The Orb), Staubgold Records DJs, Mute DJs, Jan St.Werner (Mouse on Mars / Lithops), Sacha Dieu, Woebot, Chris Clark and Max Tundra.
Music that is beamed from the future, even if it was recorded in 1974. Krautrock, electronics and incredible records for dancing, romancing and mind expansion exercises.
