Info:

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 CreatorÕs 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. The Arc Of Tension Is The Psychonautic Journey Through The Various Continents Of OliverÕs Consciousness. The Quiet Chirps And Warbles, Which Initially Unfold On The Opener A Tribe Called Kotori, Thus Act As A Loose Associative Bridge To Der Mu?ckenschwarm, Olivers Big Breakthrough Hit Of 2005. The First Minutes Of The Album Leave No Room For Doubt - We Are Immediately Locked Into An Autobiographical World Of Sound That Knows How To Captivate From The Get Go. The Dreamy, Exotic Timbres Of The Downbeat Tracks By My Side, Tankwa Town And Byron Bay Penetrate Our Minds In A Subtle Yet Purposeful Manner. But Soon The Tension Tightens And Organic Sounds One By One Evolve Towards A Sterner, Electronic Cadence.
