Melodic techno luminary Kölsch has unveiled a heartfelt remix of MORTEN and ARTBAT’s dancefloor anthem, “Hollow”, featuring the soul-stirring vocals of Bonn. Released on Insomniac Records, the remix masterfully reimagines the original’s anthemic energy, delivering an evocative blend of emotional resonance and sunrise-ready sonic textures.
While the original captivated listeners with its intense, epic synthesizers, Kölsch’s remix leans into a more intimate and emotional palette. Gentle, resonant piano chords amplify Bonn’s poignant lyrics, transforming the track into a moving journey. As the remix unfolds, Kölsch introduces shimmering melodies that elevate the emotional storytelling, perfectly complementing those moments when night transitions into day.
The original version of “Hollow” has already achieved impressive success, amassing over 5 million streams and earning coverage from top-tier outlets like DJ Mag and EDM.com, as well as support from tastemakers including Armin van Buuren, Above & Beyond, and Tiësto.
This remix is a natural evolution of Kölsch’s collaborative history with both MORTEN and ARTBAT. ARTBAT previously remixed Kölsch’s track “All That Matters”, turning it into a monumental techno symphony, while Kölsch and MORTEN’s 20-year friendship ensures a deep creative synergy in this latest project.
For Kölsch, the remix caps an extraordinary year that included the release of his fifth album, ‘I Talk to Water,’ on Kompakt. He also collaborated with WhoMadeWho on the sweeping single “Heartless” and delivered remixes for standout artists like Vintage Culture. With releases on iconic labels like Afterlife, Drumcode, and Crosstown Rebels, Kölsch continues to solidify his status as one of house and techno’s most innovative artists.
Kölsch’s remix of “Hollow” by MORTEN and ARTBAT is available now on all major platforms via Insomniac Records.
