Switzerland’s grooviest motorik duo, Klaus Johann Grobe, will soon be back with new album Spagat Der Liebe (out May 5 on Trouble in Mind) which takes their tropikrautia* sound into new areas. The band have just released the second single from the album, “Geschichten aus Erster Hand,” which adds a little flute to their patented killer basslines and fat analog synth riffs. The video, directed by Fornax Void, hands the mic over to various karaoke singers while the band, faces blurred, lay down the groove. Watch below.

Klaus Johann Grobe also have made an “erotic house mix” featuring Moebius, Loose Joints, Gichy Dan and more. It’s excellent and you can stream that below as well.

It won’t be long before KJG’s first-ever U.S. tour gets under way, with a visit to Levitation in Austin and two BrooklynVegan-presented shows in NYC: May 11 at Cake Shop (openers TBA) and May 12 at Shea Stadium with Grooms and Operator. Tickets for both shows are on sale now.

More dates have been added since our last post and those are listed, along with the new video and a stream of first single “Wo Sind,” that mix and some other KJG groovers, below.
