dj support: stephan bodzin, laurent garnier, mijk van dijk, misstress barbara, break 3000, silicone soul... if you havent realised yet, its 2008! and flash recordings are back with a bang. this time around the label owners oliver koletzki and florian meindl joined forces again with their tough breed of minimal and electro creating their unique signature sound that has been hailed as the new german techno. after singles by daso, pawas and lützenkirchen, the two masterminds behind the imprint have decided to throw their skills together in a big pot, stir it around a couple of times and spice it up with some dance floor mania. and their brew is lethal! cyclone is one of those tracks that will completely reorganise any dance floor. koletzkis charming melodies are mixed with some tough minimal meindleske beats that break down in a crescendo of effects and synthie patterns. this is a magic potion! on the flip there is tiger. with its strong bassline the track lurks around the corner eagerly waiting to bite the crowd with an enchanting arpeggio and some great stabby chords

german-techno dream team oliver koletzki and florian meindl with a new ep on their collective label flash recordings. >kolibri< is a deeply grooving piece of dreamy minimal electro with melodic and mesmerizing stabs and many trippy effects. on the b-side the humorous title >grandmothers flash< is sure to set the dance floor on fire with its fidgety loop, a typically raving synthie and a murderously deep sub bass. koletzki and meindl stay amused and allow themselves a joke towards the end of the track referencing the 2005 hit mückenschwarm. also on the flip, florian meindl’s >paris< has a thriving organic bassline, some great arpeggios, freaked out melodies and a very strong loop with many hi-hats. supported by chloe, karotte and oxia

following romantic thrills part 1, the first ep connected to nicone & sascha braemers recent lp of the same name, vinyl lovers are now being treated to romantic thrills part 2, which dazzles with three distinct remixes by stil for talent heavyweights oliver koletzki, florian meindl and dan caster. again, all tracks are geared towards the dance floor as they appropriate those special moments of the originals, while employing them to a diverse range of new contextual frames.

support by enzo elia, sultan, oliver koletzki, martin eyerer, marc romboyà flash recordings was a result of collaborations between oliver koletzki and florian meindl back in 2006, now after olivers label stil vor talent took off and flooded him with work, florian manages flash on his own. the first musical statement for this new paths florian is going comes in the shape of a single with two perfectly crafted dance-floor weapons: >time to move< is a disco tech- house tool built with a solid and mechanic meindl beat&bass construction, which ends up in a superlong break before it gets hit back by the beat.

florian meindl, aged 20 seems to be a new genius from a small town, called eferding in austria. by the age of sweet 14, he started to turn the decks. very soon he became a professional and played already with ricardo villalobos and monika kruse. florian had his debut on balkon rec. he is also know from our <talente mit stil> compilation. oliver koletzki has always a meindl track in his charts and dj-sets suggesting this boy to be the newcomer 2006. florians three tracks make our ears smile, because of their amazing sounddesign and composition. >sputnik<, get supported by kiki, jona, gregor trasher, martin eyerer, benno blome (sender)

it might sound like an empty phrase, but when oliver koletzki founded stil vor talent in 2005, he certainly didnt anticipate where his label would be today. now - six years and over sixty releases later - stil vor talent can look back at many magnificent moments in the labels history. originally started to give other musicians the chance to showcase their music, stil vor talent has preserved this very down-to-earth attitude until today and has helped foster the careers of producers such as channel x, niko schwind, juli holz or david august to name just a few. while there have never been any musical or stylistic limitations, an open philosophy dominated by quality and individualism prevails at olivers label, from delicately designed record sleeves to their own fashion line and to music that varies from house to pop to jacking dancefloor cuts. now it is time to congratulate everyone involved and the fans of stil vor talent with a special birthday present: a six-year anniversary compilation that celebrates past, present and future of the label on two cds

already supported by johnny d., someone else, laurent garnier, jennifer cardini, florian meindl, david keno.. erich lesovsky is the newest addition to stil vor talents exciting artist roster. here comes someone who is totally fascinated and absorbed by technology, someone who only performs as a live act in the clubs and - in the time of digital machinery - still works on constructing his own devices to make music with. after singles for wba and keno records, it is now the time for his first release on oliver koletzkis stil vor talent imprint and mr. lesovsky is very happy to be part of the family. so are we, of course! not only, but also because his first ep is a killer display of musical wizardry. it stars off with >bell a donna<, a minimal funk-laden piece of music that is mainly based on some crisp beats, many warm effects and sounds and a melody so simple, yet so encapsulating to capture the heart of every dancer in the club. this is oldskool minimal funk at its best! next up is >93 percent<, a title that might be misleading at first, because this track sounds more like 150 percent really. a great loop made of fidgety techno hi-hats and some wonderful warm analogue sounds - this could well be termed a new form of fidget techno. last up is >riot beatz<, an experimental display of minimal sound design, yet still very danceable. lots of crystal bashing beats, a pumping bass and many little effects - this will definitely be one for the dancefloor in the morning hours. not only does e. lesovsky seem a master of sound, his expertise seems to cover the perfect creation of warm, yet basic tech anthems and his influences seem to come from all sorts of musical directions, from hip-hop to funk to house back to techno. it is the easiness with which he delivers his music that makes his sound designs so special!

cool solid 3 tracker by lützenkirchen !! the production dream team oliver koletzki and florian meindl have managed to convince south german techno mastermind lützenkirchen for the latest single on their collective flash recordings imprint. and how right they were! this release is most definitely among the strongest flash records so far and sets the tone for forthcoming releases. lützenkirchen, who has already released his own productions as well as tons of remixes on labels such as craft music, royal flush, polydor, ministry of sound or his home base great stuff

after his first release on flash recordings together with daso on the night express ep, pawas is now back with his very own three-track ep on the label of koletzki & meindl. all tracks were created in pune in india, pawas’ hometown, and the ep is about three different characters. alicia, charlie and edward. each one of them has a certain distinctive vibe about them: alicia is deep and eloquent, edward is more hectic and restless while charlie seems the funky and witty sort. in terms of music, edward is carried on a powerful, deep synthie melody, a big breathing bassline and some great percussive clicks and clacks that turn into a slightly ravey minimal burner later on in the tune. very hot! edward is a little lighter and is pushed forward by a great funky melody that creates the perfect after hour moment. imagine yourself on the beach when the sun is coming up. alicia on the a side is a deeper, more housy affair has a melodic, percussive and detroity appeal. pawas has managed to create a very fresh and unique signature sound and with releases on squonk, connaisseur and flash records, 2007 seems to be the year for him.

this is the first ep on flash recordings that doesnt feature label owners florian meindl and oliver koletzki. but they have made sure to look for a quality replacement. no one else than cologne-based artist daso - renowned for his previous releases on labels like mbf, session deluxe, ghostly and connaisseur - teams up with his buddy pawas to create their first release >night express< on flash. pawas has just had his first record out on adam krolls and markus müllers imprint squonk records and has been a dj for 9 years, moving from india to cologne one year ago. on the a-side daso & pawas foreshadow the summer with the track >tgv<: a beautifully deep melody that swings along a powerful loop. >ice< - the name of germanys high-speed train is clearly more electro-driven. a slightly broken beat with a thumping organic bassline pumps above an ever-changing soundscape that culminates in some euphoric high-pitched synths. never too much, this is a perfect example for elegant understatement. also on the flip side is the track >bummelzug<, which translates as >very slow train< in german. this is a dub-techno masterpiece. deep dubs and arpeggios flow over the simple beats with a great clappy snare drum. dreamy, hypnotic, melodic! flash recordings has just become fit for the summer
