the berlin-based techno and house producer and dj oliver koletzki has fully committed himself to his roots for this album. they can be traced back to pop music of the 80ies and 90ies, while his productions still manage to transport the fresh energy of today’s electronic music productions. großstadtmärchen is a perfect example for a producers album: oliver koletzki has created a musically compact long player while working together with many different singers. both established artists like mieze katz from the german electro-pop outfit mia., the hot german pop-rock-singer axel bosse, critically acclaimed indie band kate mosh as well as newcomers such as fran, pyur and juli holz have contributed to the album. the result are ten songs that easily fluctuate between catchy pop tracks, modern house grooves and 80ies synthesizer pop yet still maintaining a very own koletzkieske sound dynamic. großstadtmärchen, which translates as the tale of the big city starts off with this is leisure. famous pop singer mieze katz has put down her sexy voice on a guitar-based song pattern that functions as an ideal introduction into the craziness of the big city tales. after hearing this, the listener is directly fully drawn into this world when hearing juli holzs softly whispering voice singing about the dilemmas of love in the big city on zuckerwatte (single release date: 7.9.09). this is a very fine electro-pop tune. coming up next oliver koletzki and axel bosse board an underground train that takes them around the berlin u-bahn system and back.

on his sixth album, the arc of tension, the berlin based dj, label owner and producer oliver koletzki yet again presents his remarkable vision of contemporary electronic music, while he assumes the role of a storyteller. the arc of tension speaks to its listener as a singular, self contained work, which communicates by way of its natural flow and arc of suspense. the latter is mirrored not only in the multifarious narrative of the actual album, but can also be understood as evidence for its creators long musical history. while koletzki focussed on a diverse range of vocal collaborations on his previous long players, he now moves on to a different form of storytelling, rooted in the quiet confidence of a veteran musician, as well as the hectic lifestyle of a globally in demand dj.

over the course of the past ten years, stil vor talent has striven to support emerging young artists, to continuously broaden and redefine its sound, and, ultimately, to create lasting memories, both on and off the dance floor. the dance floor is the place where we gather to leave the worries of our everyday lives behind, and, for those few moments, form a bond, which transcends the final track of the night. a bond between each other between the artist and the dancer, between ourselves and the music. on 10 years stil vor talent we celebrate this bond and say thank you.
the double vinyl lp comes in a gatefold sleeve and includes a download code for the full album plus bonus tracks (see below).

iyewaye, oliver koletzkis first release after the autobiographical i am ok album, introduced a new facet of the artist’s sound. the ep catered to a darker and more raw aesthetic, a direction followed and deepened by the four remixes. first up is the title track iyewaye, turned into a lengthy tech infused introspection by hatzler. loosely centered around the initial vocals, loco & jams makeover explores the tracks captivating snappy narrative. the more rhythm focused ipuza gets a special treatment from hidden empire who dial up the aggression of the percussion. zakari & blange downplay the tracks initial exotic elements, focusing on the rattling synths and giving it a late-night dancefloor rework.

with iyewaye, the first solo-ep after the release of his fifth album i am ok last year, oliver koletzki shows himself in a new, but not altogether unfamiliar light: since his breakthrough in 2005 with der mückenschwarm koletzki hasnt sounded this hard. gone is the pop-angle, replaced by a dark sound-aesthetic and raw energy. but even here, in the techno realm, oliver koletzki demonstrates his inimitable sense for melody: thus, the gloomy and driving framework of iyewaye is lit up by a crystal-clear synth-sequence. similarly, ipuza, which hypnotizes by way of reduction and repetition, is funky in its core thanks to a rolling tribal groove. functional, but with heart and soul.

>i am ok<, reads the title of the new album by the berlin-based producer, dj and label-owner oliver koletzki. the heading0s ambiguity is, of course, deliberate: theres a deeper meaning hidden behind the humorous facade that is chrisse kunsts hand-drawn cover, which depicts an unadorned thirteen-year-old oliver sporting nerd glasses and a striped jumper: i am oliver koletzki, raw and authentic. because musically, on his fifth studio album, oliver koletzki looks towards the unaffected freshness of back in the day, and thus, consciously returns to his roots.

over the past couple of years, kellerkinds unique interpretation of house music has truly catapulted him out of the figurative basement and into the limelight. whether it was the disco-infused cool of backflash or the tribal rhythms found on his debut album basement story, through hard work, rather than by miracle, marco biagini matured into a producer who is at the top of his game.

after recent success stories on off recordings, play it down and our svt100 compilation, marlon hoffstadt teams up with vocalist hrrsn for a first ep on stil vor talent, skin and bone.

>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<.

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 jesse rose, mandy, karotte, lexy, seth troxler, sascha funke, ivan smagghe, dubfire... the producer and dj oliver koletzki and singer fran are still firmly riding on the fast track to glorious pop music. after the first single >arrow and bow< of their new album >lovestoned< they now release >echoes<, both as a maxi single with four different remixes and a vinyl edition that includes three of the remixes. but lets start with the original, which is easily one of the strongest and most powerful songs of the album. it is here where koletzkis background as a producer of house and techno meets with frans ability to create divine lyrics and perform them with her unmistakable voice.

full support by dubfire, ritchie hawtin, dj sneak, mandy, sis, hugo! finally here it comes! after his über-successful last album >grosstadtmärchen< including the singles -hypnotized- and -u-bahn- oliver koletzki is now releasing the first single release of his new album lovestoned that is set to be released in autumn this year. for the album, and subsequently this first glimpse of the album, oliver koletzki has teamed up with singer and girlfriend fran, who previously hypnotized listeners across the country with her magical voice.

zuckerwatte is the second single from oliver koletzkis new album >großstadtmärchen<. and zuckerwatte, which translates as candyfloss is a truly magical tale about love and loss in the big city. the original features juli holzs softly whispering voice that is so very fragile, and so very beautiful. this is a softly grooving electro-pop discovery. but of course this song has also been transformed for the dancefloor on this single that also features two more tracks from olivers album. first up is the remix by david august, one half of the duo august & bachert who delivers a top-notch glitchy tech-house edit that makes great dramaturgical use of the original track. next up is björn störigs vision of zuckerwatte. the drummer of olivers live outfit the koletzkis envisions juli holz perform her sweet and sticky singing over some neo-soul tech-rnb influenced electronica that features a spanish guitar, some great claps and some very nice synthesizers. on the flip there is koletzkis instrumental house-homage kusskompatibel and these habits, on which only seventeen-year-old singer pyur makes her debut. she sings wonderfully harmonic over this down-beat trip-hop groove and it results in a great hit for the late summer. this single is more than a single. its the best thing before the album

extrem vielseitige platte von dickem techhousigen neotrance bis hin zu 2008er piano filter house... sollte mich wundern, wenn diese tracks dieses jahr nicht auf ibiza laufen ...

big with sian, miss kittin, dubnitzky, tom pooks, the dolphins, jussi pekka,… >ekutok< is a powerful movement forward. the brand new track from the two transylvanians markus homm and mihai popoviciu has the sort of atmosphere and propulsive force that is good to feel in the marrow of your bones and gives you that needed thrust at 2 a.m. on the dance floor or on the autobahn. attentive, concentrated and progressive without compromise, the track inspires an uninhibited desire to put the pedal to the metal. it is characteristic of the homm & popoviciu style that they always succeed in composing their sound in a light, easygoing manner yet at the same time compressing surge with flow. the result has only one name: groove. with >ekutok< homm & popoviciu have not only delivered a phenomenal track, but also a perfect example of what freunde tontraeger considers beyond techno

ultraphat teaser track to the upcoming koletzki album... limited pic disc edition ...grab your copy, but be fast, it will never be repressed!!

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

you re still not taking yourself seriously.on the journey to discover new tracks you trip over a few disco-balls, find an irresistable melody, dance briefly with abba, are trapped by chic, free yourself and then also rob them/it (???) of a super-bassline. next you travel to the outskirts of berlin to dowse for / apply the divining rod to find fresh, unused talent. the discovery responds to the name c.l.i.c. and turns a discohymne into a little rave-monster. now add to the whole made-up story the fact that you leave the remixing to an old friend. he makes a >6am, the sun rising, tickling your nose and making you scream< track out of it. the name of the mysterious unknown: oliver koletzki. conclusion: you re still not taking yourself seriously. why should you? >fitzelkrtschbungbritzelbratzel< is just ruling everything. a counter-design is urgently needed. the world s serious enough
