>you become responsible, forever, for what youve tamed<, antoine de saint exupery writes in his modern fairy tale ‘the little prince’, in which his protagonist travels through various worlds in search of friendship and benevolence. the quote is, no doubt, fitting for niko schwind, since the berlin-based dj and producer consistently demonstrates a deeply anchored love for and close bond to house music, the art form he himself has tamed.

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.

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!

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

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.

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...

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.

new label by niconÉ / philip bader starting off with a boom - 3 tracks from sascha braemer, philip bader, daniel dreier and niko schwind.

might niko schwind be the new kingpin of house music? everybody needs to find out for himself of course and that is best done when listening to his freshest output for stil vor talent: the “midnightfunk” ep. it kicks off with the title track that features the great chicagoeske vocal skills of patrick blasa, who takes us in on this journey towards a time when house music ruled the waves of the club oceans. imagine a sticky slap bass, cowbells, high-pitched vocals and low-pitched male laughing plus of course the greatest thing about this scorcher: a somewhat jetlagged piano that seems to leap behind in one moment to then be right there again when it matters. ace!

modern house tracks by niko schwind! includes afrilounge edit... must have!!!

extraordinary pieces of music have long stood in direct correlation to the physical surroundings that inspire them. when oliver koletzki and niko schwind packed up their berlin studios last april to spend a month locked away in a cottage nestled in the stunning nature of cape towns noordhoek area before heading to afrikaburn, little did they know that its long beaches, dramatic mountain views and the heritage of its indigenous people would have such a profound effect on the club-ready sound they had championed with a string of eps and live-performances since 2015. the result of four weeks of geo-cultural stimuli and creative experimentation culminated in the album noordhoek, released in may 2018 on stil vor talent. while the productions on noordhoek display the same on-point sound design of previous oliver koletzki and niko schwind releases, the impressive emotional depth and electronic floor-focus of its twelve tracks effortlessly merge with complex rhythmic textures to form a contemporary narrative on ancient dance rituals. after a roller coaster ride through twelve versatile yet coherent productions, one thing is certain as the ultimate crack of thunder crashes down on noordhoek: south africa fuelled the creative energy of two remarkable musicians, who where able to translate the abundance of their impressions into a truly original world of sound.

niko schwind now presents the fruit of his labour in the from of his third album: grippin world captivates the listeners with its versatility and coherence, and kidnaps them to a world of sound, made up of elegantly reduced grooves, organic arrangements and accessible vocal-melodies.

next oliver koletzki dropout straight from berlin

we return with the sixth installment of the beloved stil vor talent berlin compilation series, which brings forth a group of old and new faces, who exclusively contributed unreleased tracks, gathered under the umbrella of berlins best repurposed space. since flughafen tempelhof ceased operating in 2008, it has given hours upon hours of joy and peace to the cityÕs public in the form of tempelhoferfeld, a gigantic park crisscrossed by the airports former runways. the perfect retreat to unwind in, right on the border of kreuzberg and neukšlln. as always, music is the common denominator and oliver koletzki delivers the perfect soundtrack with this new release, while chrisse kunst renders the visuals.

over the years, berlin has been cited as oliver koletzkis main point of reference and, more importantly, his endless source of inspiration. his albums gro§stadtmŠrchen and gro§stadtmŠrchen 2 are wholehearted tributes of the german capital, as its importance is continuously hinted and charted. friedrichshain, one of berlins vibrant districts, has always held a special place in olivers heart. this is where he started out when he first moved to the city, and this is where he lives now. kreuzbergs wall paintings adorn stil vor talents cover sleeves and host their headquarters. there are little to no corners in the city that havent brought a spark of inspiration into the mix. the schneeweiss compilation series, now at its eigth installment, is built as a form of tribute to all these particles, tied in together into a series of carefully curated tracks. each compilation stands at the intersection of the musical and cultural surroundings most prominent of their respective times

the third instalment of the stil vor talent berlin compilation series brings forth a new gang of carefully selected artists, gathered under the umbrella of another underground berlin hotspot. kottbusser tor is undoubtedly the beating heart of kreuzberg, unashamedly pulsating 24/7 with the good, the bad and the ugly. theres no place quite like it, thanks to its raw charme. as always, music is the common denominator and oliver koletzki delivers the perfect soundtrack with this new release, while chrisse kunst renders the visual.

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.

stil vor talent entfŸhrt dich auf eine tour druch berlin mit einer neuen compilation-reihe. wir fangen die essenz und den geist der deutschen hauptstadt ein - durch die musik, die wir lieben, spielen und zu der wir tanzen. die reise beginnt am u-bahnhof schlesisches tor im herzen von kreuzberg: hier pulsiert das leben, direkt an der spree, nur einen steinwurf von der berŸchtigten club-szene der stadt und unserem eigenen headquarter entfernt. ausgewŠhlt von oliver koletzki, mit artwort von chrisse kunst. auf gehts!

schneeweiss iii: a collaboration of neighbours. over the years, oliver koletzki has continuously cited berlin as a point of reference and, more importantly, a source of inspiration. two of his albums - gro§stadtmaerchen and gro§stadtmaerchen 2 - have been a direct ode to the capital. friedrichshain, one of berlins vibrant districts, has always held a special place in olivers heat. this is where he started out when he first moved to the city, and this is where he lives now.

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
