>always like this< is the third single from the album >hvob<. hvobs cover of the track by british indie rock band bombay bicycle club mixes warm synth pads with soft beats, while anna muellers distinctive voice puts an entirely new spin on the melancholy of the original. oliver koletzki and andhim have both made remixes of hvobs interpretation of >always like this<.

sascha braemer is back with his first solo-ep on stil vor talent since his massive 2011 hit people. teaming up with friends old and new, the result - animal instincts - is simply stunning as braemer showcases the versatility of a producer at the top of his game and an ability to think outside the box. kicking things off, the eps title track features the iconic jake the rapper on vocal duties.

their second ep jack. the vienna-based duo hvob fuel the anticipation for their forthcoming debut album.

the new year reveals a couple of surprises on stil vor talent. among others, we are venturing into the stormy waters of indie-pop with svt096 >keine sterne< by noerd, the labels next extraordinary band project.

sometimes your creating a declaration of love - automatically. beatamines composed many of those lines for extraordinary, dancing people, for electronic music and the possibility to express himself with tracks like >i said< or >something soul<. his tracks were released on mbf (traumschallplatten), damm records, keno and on his mother-label mangue records. but beatamines does not only work as a solo producer, he also releases tracks with his mate david jach - each number got a place in the charts .he is packing the emotions of a summer love into it, underlined with fat baselines, pregnant claps and magic melodies. we welcome beatamines as new bondage-music member. his first ep on bondage-music comes with the track >tonite< incl. remix from dachshund (highgrade) and the track >wknd< incl. remix from channel x (stil vor talent). early support from mihai popoviciu, pimont, patrick kunkel, tom novy, sis, benno blome, david keno, kiki, anderson noise, sven vaeth, pawas, sasha, acid pauli, robert owens, heartik, aruba, affkt, patrick zigon, someone else, oliver schories

on a summer weekend in august during the crazy lifetime of the berliner bar 25, pianist laura weider challenged herself to a particular kind of concert in the circus. this 40 hour performance was witnessed as the longest concert of a solo artist and subsequently made it into the guiness book of wold records.

what better way to welcome the new year than with a bang? thats precisely why we once again got the extraordinary edu imbernon on board to follow up on last years outstanding >mystery inside<

while channel x took us on a full-length musical journey through their very own ‘wonderland in september, this follow-up remix package guarantees to drag you even deeper into the metaphorical rabbit hole thanks to mind-altering reworks by doctor dru, robosonic, nico stojan and our competition winners, juicy jay & sh.

last years romantic thrills album was testament to niconé & sascha bramers impressive knack for delicate melodies and soothing vocals, seamlessly woven into powerful house music thanks to the warm pulse of the kick drum. here, on their new ep ‘united colors of language, the duo delivers three stunning tracks to rival their previous output in both, romanticism and danceability.

signing to stil vor talent in late spring and a summer of lauded festival performances, such as at the renowned berliner melt! festival - this autumn hvob (short for her voice over boys) now go on to deliver their virgin release: the dogs ep closes the circle of an impressive first year for the young electronica project.

another piece of swissness here! long anticipated and finally here. animal trainers new ep for their very own piece of gold: hive audio. sure they were also featured on the 6 years hive compilation, made several quality remixes & released on labels such as pokerflat or stil vor talent, but its still special to present your music on the self-made label. besides 3 originals there is another very talented producer to find on this record. &me delivers like everytime. it looks like he started where the 2 guys from zurich finished. a lot of energy which comes together in a very strong beat which makes this one a dancefloor-thing for sure.

im rahmen ihres zweiten albums laden uns die berüchtigten berliner partylieblinge channel x auf eine verrückte reise in ihr ganz persönliches wonderland ein. inspiriert von lewis carrolls psychedelischem klassiker um alice? bewusstseinserweiterndes erlebnis im eigenen paralleluniversum, liefern miko und andré quasar einen zutiefst euphorischen einblick in ihr musikalisches rabbit hole. so treffen auf der ersten von zwei vinyl 12? bewährte soundtexturen des tech house-spektrums auf straffen deep house, jeweils mit einem ohr für?s detail, aber natürlich auch der liebe zur tanzfläche, produziert.

released in february, dapayk & padbergs sweet mnothings lp showcased an impressive grasp of contemporary electronic music, designed for headphones and dancefloors alike. now, six months later, stil vor talent delivers a remix package that presents the reworks of competition winners ariel curtis and dry/wet dreams, as well as remixes by ryan dupree and dapayk himself.

theres a storm brewing on stil vor talent this summer! after stellar 12inch by edu imbernon & triumph and niko schwind, were soaking your senses with a wonderfully wide-ranging split-ep courtesy of the swiss boys animal trainer and the koletzkis groove machine björn störig!

now, a year after he celebrated the success of his lp good morning midnight, niko schwind ups the heat on stil vor talent with the versatile we are the future ep that showcases a specatacular sonic progression while remaining true to what niko does best: melodic house music. on all i want, niko lures you into a deep abyss aided by a straight groove and rapid vocal stutters until a swampy bassline, subtle piano melodies and a promiscuous female voice swallow you to the point of no return. beautifully melancholic, yet floorfriendly, this a1 is bound to leave its mark on international dance floors!

großstadtmärchen 2 part 2 with brilliant techhouse reworks... feat jake the rapper and remixes from andhim, animaltrainer, murat kilic...

die nächste stil vor talent 12inch beschallt die peaktime tanzflächen des planeten erde direkt aus dem all, dank mysteriöser soundflächen. edu imbernon hat bereits auf seinem remix für niconé & sascha bramers dreamer sein einzigartiges ohr für pulsierende house musik demonstriert. für mystery inside kollaboriert er mal wieder mit seinem landsmann triumph, während svt-lieblinge kellerkind und niko schwind mit remixen zur hand gehen

the best things come in threes: after his recent success with the the devil in me, a glorious collaboration with oliver koletzki as part of großstadtmärchen 2, and the big jet plane ep for our good friends at dantze, poster-boy jan blomqvist presents his first 12inch on stil vor talent, ink. things kick off with the title track, whose classic song structure and romantic melodies rub elegantly against tougher, sometimes distorted electronic percussion to create a tension that would be at home on a radiohead lp

a couple of months after the release of sweet nothings, dapayk & padberg are once again treating the vinyl-heads amongst us to a 12? consisting of a sunny selection of the albums core material, just in time for spring. kicking off the a-side, berlin summer nights is nothing short of an anthem: classic rave sounds of epic proportions glide through an arrangement of bouncy beats, crisp percussive work and hopeful vocals until a powerful breakdown delivers the hands-in-the-air moment. this year, summer has come early. next up, the sun came up bedazzles with a pumping beat and robotic vocals, while a progressive synth lead helps along the track’s love lyrics, turning this into a truly stunning musical moment, which already proved its power at sweet nothings’ heart. on the flip, dapayk & padberg present the albums opener, the trippy too lazy. here, were dealing with a rather brooding afterhours number that is equal parts paranoid and mesmerising as a wonky bass vibrates under dubbed out pads, eerie synths and vocal whispers. the perfect antidote to the cheery a-side!

just six months after the release of their stellar >romantic thrills< lp and its two vinyl remix packages, niconé & sascha braemer are back with a banger. for >and i just< they enlist good friend dan caster as well as vocalist a.l.e.c. to dazzling results: a deep, moody bass groover whose synth motif climbs and climbs until it finally explodes into beautifully arranged vocal deep house territory. on the a2, the duo is taking you >for a ride< of guitar loops, crunchy claps, lush synths and heavy bass-lines that revolve around a deliciously ambiguous vocal.dale gives the boys a hand for title-track >broken heart< on the flip. if heartache always sounds this incredibly we hope the triplets vascular organs keep on breaking. finally, >lonely< closes the ep on an epic,uplifting note by wrapping the listener in a blanked of bass. welcome back!

the first part of his big city tale entitled großstadtmärchen acted like a catapult for oliver koletzki in 2009, pushing him from the dj booth into the limelight of electronic pop music. now, three years later, oliver releases a sequel to the successful long player in the form of großstadtmärchen 2. in addition, stil vor talent is presenting a jam-packed double vinyl remix package of some of the album’,s many highlights.

in advance of the release of dapayk & padbergs third full-length sweet nothings - this time round on stil vor talent - the experienced duo are teasing us with the fluffy cloud ep, which showcases three of the album’s many diverse highlights, while keeping the vinyl lovers happy. the a-side bears the lps title track >sweet nothings<, on which dapayk & padberg’s sound takes a turn as they come knocking with a deep but forceful groover, whose distorted high-hats and trancey synth stabs create a vibe both euphoric and weirdly subdued. the lyrics, moreover, emphasise the duality at the core of many dapayk & padberg tracks as the latter ponders ‘you’re good for me - you’re bad for me’. showing another of the duo’s many facets, ‘backyard’ enchants thanks to mystical lyrics sung beautifully over a deep quasi-dubstep structure. marking the ep’s mid-point, the atmospheric song shines through intricately crafted fragility and is the perfect contrast to the previous and following track, while leaving a strong desire for more stuck in the listener’s mind. on the b-side, ‘fluffy clouds’ does quite the opposite to what its title suggests - rather than being a soft little piece, we are treated to big-room techno fodder à la berghain. a skeletal framework of heavy kicks, dark pads, white noise and dense metallics works relentlessly underneath a cold spoken word, proclaiming >not human, not animal - just a body in motion<. machine funk par excellence.

2nd psycho album extraction – this time with big remixes from florian meindl (flash recordings) and aka aka (burlesque musique, stil vor talent).

backflash - as the title of kellerkinds new ep on stil vor talent rightly suggests - is a full-blown blast from the past that utilises 80s aesthetics in order to craft a wonderfully contemporary ep much in vain of the en vogue sound of 2011: slow, forceful goovers with basslines so big, they might just crush you. nothing less was to be expected of the charismatic swiss producer marco biagini who has already proven his wide-ranging understanding of house music with tracks like länzer is a dänzer or groovebox.

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.

after successful remixes for oliver koletzki, niko schwind and animal trainer, its björn störigs turn to deliver the goods on his first solo ep, >humming top<. and boy, does he deliver: the fresh youngster presents high-calibre musical house, spiced up with funk, disco and jazz aesthetics. title track >humming top< doesnt waste much time: crisp percussive elements are laid over a beefy bass-line from the get-go, while a progressive piano melody mingles with a distinctly vintage synth.

its a love story: stil vor talent have long been mad about niconé and sascha braemer so that the recent past has seen some very memorable releases by the two producers. now its about time they join forces to release a whole album together, of which the first set of two vinyl packages is taken. known for their often very musical techno and house productions, >romantic thrills part 1< encapsulates this style while adding an extra element of sex and pop appeal, without straying too far from the dancefloor. >pianotic<, >runaway< and >caje< are three prime examples of how to incorporate piano, trumpet or guitar melodies organically into electronic music without sounding artificial

now it is time to congratulate everyone involved and the fans of stil vor talent with a special birthday present: two six-year anniversary eps celebrating present and future of the label. this is the second of 2 eps, featuring five of 10 individual birthday presents released on vinyl.

6 years of stil vor talent , vinyl 1 of 2

new talent meets old talent on stil vor talent. thats how we roll. label daddy oliver koletzki was so impressed with the winner of the niko schwind remix competition that he is now releasing two tracks by him on this ep. meet ryan dupree who shares this release with sonic mastermind erich lesovsky, one of the most exciting sound creators this side of the atlantic.

aah, how we have missed them! the fine young gentlemen that are channel x, two of stil vor talents most active producers of meticulously crafted and deeply energetic tech-house smash hits. and just in time for the open-air season they now come back with two very convincing pieces of dancefloor art. first up is >little symphony<, an epic space opera that takes it cues from early 90s techno and mixes it up with post-modern grooves and beats. the wide and open spaces are filled with some very hymnal string patterns that are given a final treatment with a reverbed and high-pitched vocal sample. contrast that with the rather jittery beat and a subbass as deep as the frequencies will go and you got yourself a substantially clear bit of techno that is best imagined when it is dark and only some beams of air tell you where you are. channel x do not produce, they direct and all of the sounds are their actors! on the flip things get more light-hearted and set for the daylight hours as well. >steamboat willie< is a heavily sample-orientated swinging piece of jack. the rhythm guitar lead the way on top of a clap-based loop that sets the basis for some very jazzy interpretations along the way. clarinets, trumpets, percussions, brass, effects and even some talking vocal samples are all allowed to join in this hedonistic big band that is at play. this is one for the sunshine, this is one for the smiles on the faces, this is one to feel instantly good about yourself and everything around you. two very different tracks on this ep, but both equally stand out for themselves

after his last ep on stil vor talent in 2009, born-and-bread berliner sascha braemer is now back with three fresh tracks for the spring of 2011. in the meantime, his funky minimal jump-up tech-house has led him to release on labels as prolific as kindisch or dirtybird. things kick off with >belle<, a ferocious attack on your groove muscles and dancing bones. this tune glides as softly as the wings of an angel while shaking you around like a giant would a dwarf. the up-beat groove is based on a great cut-up vocal sample and some animating synthesizer stabs. sweet! then, >felicitous<, which is considerably slower than the previous two tracks. still, the vocal on this one and the deep electronic body come together perfectly to form a deep and dirty suckerpunch to your euphoria synapses. last up is >people< keeps the effected vocal approach and that really makes this tune. imagine a super deep bassline, some wonderfully syncopated hi-hat trickles and a constant groove to underline the power of the vocal. this track is club pop - so deep and yet so magic it will run shivers down your spine on the breakdown. sascha braemer seems to have put all his experience of peak-time club moments to early morning afterhour visions into his own transcript of signature sound. this is not be mistaken, this is simply on-point

and here it is: the second vinyl ep of niko schwinds album >good morning midnight<. it features some of the unique tracks that niko has created together with some of berlins hottest production talents. on the a side are two tracks that feature the clicky tech-house boys that are channel x, where things kick off with >back from the bar<. it sounds as the title suggests: a little wobbly, a little drunk, a little crazy, but also pretty magic. quite clearly this is an homage to one of berlins not-to-be-forgotten clubs that is unfortunately history now. but things continue on here at least with >dont turn the lights on<, a more straightforward dancefloor track, with a trumpet as the main protagonist. this is one of those tracks that keeps leading up to a real arms-in-the-air-moment if it wasn’t so damn housy at the same time. on the flip the magical connection between niko and label daddy oliver koletzki can be heard on >master of ceremony<, a chopped-up house track with epic dimensions. when things get to the piano breakdown, they get very musical and colossal before dropping back into a great house track. the stark contrast between the piano melody and the groove on this really make it. last but not least then, the original album opener >good morning< that features the singing of fran. it works great as a great album opener, but also perfectly as a slower and more thoughtful addition to a great ep

here comes the first vinyl ep of niko schwinds 2011 album >good morning midnight<. this release does not only feature three of the best tracks of the album, but also an exclusive remix by house wonderboy david august, who does not cease to amaze with his retro-yet-contemporary vision of house music...

three years after his first album and numerous eps later, limewax returns with his second full length studio album >empfindsamer stil<. this album is a smorgasbord of electronically symphonic ideas, a definite departure from limewaxs last lp and is promised to be yet another milestone in the history of progressive, harder, drum and bass.

it seems that dapayk used to listen to a lot of hip-hop when he was younger. his latest ep for still vor talent >let go< has got these influences written all over it. the title track starts out with a male vocal and some sounds that sound a little like scratching before things then quickly head into the direction of the club. the vocal by singer camara could not be more reminiscent of 80s house music and this track has got all the soul and groove of this era. beneath the delicate vocal and sound patterns lies a wonderfully simply staccato house groove that is sure to get everyone shuffling. on the flip things get a little more techy with >nneka<, a deeper and more melodic tech house glider that gently takes the listener towards a harmonic state of mind. beautifully arpeggiated pads, a warm soulful groove and some reverbed vocals make this one. last up is the sample-based tech-house stomper >upyo< featuring production partner jon hester. this is loop heaven: a pushy beat loop with many snares, reverse samples and an unexpected saxophone melody make this one the perfect changeover track from warm-up to peak-time. this ep shows dapayks skills to combine many musical influences into his unique still of tech-house music

niconé is back on stil vor talent with his very much loved project that has already brought us an absolute scorcher on stil vor talent before. again he features the wonderful vocal of narra on this hypnotically happy percussive house affair >caje<. the original track grooves on some free swinging percussions and a softly moving house loop making this a very subtle killer for any afterhour. while narras vocals carry the track as light as a feather it is after the breakdown that things get really musical! for the remixes stil vor talent has aligned a high-quality and diverse array of current top-notch producers. things go dark, minimal and very technological with pan-pots take on >caje< that still keeps a very soulful element in its approach. then, berlins coolest kid on the block adam port knows that every track gets better with a lot of claps-and he sure is right in his interpretation of >caje<. this is one of these tracks that sucks the listener in so deep that there is simply no escape: repetitive yet constantly changing and constantly grooving while remaining very pure! for his very soulful groove dirty doering adds some wonderfully melodic synths and guitars to his track that turn >caje< into an even more summery house affair. this release is filled with tracks that will long echo on the dancefloor!

die nummer geht runter wie ein gin tonic im tropischen sommer oder ein heißes bad im eisregen. fuehlt sich einfach perfekt an! genau wie der rest von bruch und juniors erster ep auf stil vor talent.

finally, juli holz is back on stil vor talent. the whispery and enchanting voice of the blonde singer and producer can now be heard again on two new tracks on stil vor talent + oliver koletzki rmx. while her topics are still clearly defined, circling around music, love and life in the big city, her music has become more house-orientated and is even mingling with straight pop music.

played by laurent garnier, audiofly, david august, kaiserdisco, mihalis safras, pig&dan

private number accounts, smelly cheese and a funny language is not all there is to switzerland, stupid! of course there is a lot of great house music coming from the land of the ski, as we know already from stil vor talents very own producers kellerkind and animal trainer.
