Musik

/muˈziːk/ noun

Definition

German word for music; also used as stylistic spelling in English for artistic or commercial purposes.

Etymology

From German Musik, ultimately from Greek mousike meaning 'art of the Muses.' The German spelling is sometimes adopted in English for aesthetic or branding purposes, particularly in electronic music.

Kelly Says

The 'k' spelling connects modern electronic music culture back to its roots in German krautrock and techno scenes of the 1970s-90s. Many DJs and producers use 'musik' to signal their connection to this influential Germanic electronic tradition.
