Käse Kochen

The sounds of the Käse Kochen sobriquet are an enigmatic & satisfying blend of various sub genres of contemporary progressive dance music. A homogenous amalgam of synthetic & organic sounds; instrumental, digital and found - resulting in something truly profound.

Originating in the forest dwelling doof scene of Northern New South Wales, Käse Kochen has ripened into an impressive Australian artist, gracing internationally sought slots including Rainbow Serpent Festival’s Market Stage, Shankra Festival’s Horizon Floor (Switzerland), Subsonic Music Festival and Elements Festival’s Main Stage.

A family artist of Australia’s Stone Seed imprint (formerly Bassic Records), Käse Kochen has made his mark as one of the pioneering artists of the country’s unique “bush techno” sound and furthermore, of the global progressive techno movement. Between his Käse Kochen alias and birth-name project Harrison Downes, he prolifically releases on Stone Seed, Digital Structures and Techgnosis Records, along the way collaborating with and remixing the likes of The Riddler/Talpa, Maksim Dark, Jossie Telch, Electrypnose, Luis M, Carbon, Sugar Glider and scores of Australia’s most talented.

Käse Kochen’s full length album “Encounters In Melancholy” embodied the concept and journey of the project. Encounters was revisited with a stunning 2020 remix album, and proceeded by the immense Encounters Vol III, that saw Käse Kochen intertwine with artists such as The Riddler, K.A.L.I.L, Dysphemic, Ben Coda and more, forging his name with the elite of the psychedelic scene.
