Review: Berlin stalwart Oliver Koletzki released his acclaimed long-player Made Of Wood a couple of months back. Recorded in isolation on the sunny and idyllic shores of Tulum, Mexico, it's definitely one of the contenders for the year's best albums in 2021. Now we have a collection of remixes from the LP, featuring Leizig's finest Super Flu doing their usual slinky and hypnotic thing on the remix of "Copal", newcomer Fabian Kroos will immerse you in a rich tapestry of melodies on his perspective of "Picture" and rising duo AFFKT provide the EP's most intense moment with the urgent dancefloor drama of the "Made Of Cashmere" remix.
Review: Story has it that Oliver Koletzki took a vacation in Tulum, Mexico just as the pandemic hit. Making a temporary base for himself in the new surroundings, he created his first full length since 2007 entitled Made Of Wood. "Made of Cashmere" is the second single to come out in advance of his ninth album's release, and is a slinky and hypnotic serving of mood music sure to create tension and suspense on the dance floor. This is followed by the folkloric sounds of "Serpiente Del Rio".
Review: Stil Vor Talent head honcho Oliver Koletzki takes up the reins for his beloved label's next release, which just so happens to be his ninth full length titled Made Of Wood. Leading up to its much anticipated release on the 16th of July, Koletzki presents the first of two advance EPs here with the track "Copal' capturing the essence of his approach. He delves deep into the exotic on this one; a Middle Eastern-influenced deep house chugger that is at once meditative yet utterly mesmerising. Making a transition to the main room is "Cryptozoology" featuring Walter Scalzone, where he injects more dancefloor dynamics into proceedings. Hypnotic and syncopated tabla drums are an integral element as before, with the addition of glistening keys and moody textures.
