Review: DJ heavyweights Oliver Koletzki and andhim unleash "Branka" a tantalising sneak-peek from Oliver's upcoming Trip to Sanity album. The tracks "Branka" and "Orbit" are there to ignite dance floors with an electrifying mix of chugging grooves, melancholic piano chords, and euphoric flute flurries. Koletzki's mastery of tension and euphoria of course remains with melancholic piano chords and ethereal tones cascading as ever.
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.
Review: "Planetarium" is a taster for Oliver Koletzki's sixth artist album, The Arc of Tension, and it feels like he has gone back to his roots. Featuring the kind of big room, wobbly bass that has made the Berlin producer one of his home country's most popular names, it also references a more innocent time in German dance music. Intertwined with the relentless rhythm and powerful bass are the kind of spellbinding trance melodies that take influence from the now defunct Eye Q label and The Omen club during its prime. In short, "Planetarium" is a wonderfully euphoric serving of timeless trance-techno.
Review: Does exactly what it says on the tin really: No Filler Just Killer comes in again for the third volume courtesy of Oliver Koletzki's long running Berlin tech house institution. Experience the soundtrack to a misspent youth in Berlin this summer, coming at you courtesy of label head honcho Koletzki himself with the moody and tunnelling journey of "This Heartless", the tripped out minimal madness of Asem Shama's "Magic's Gonna Happen" which reminds us of classic Audion or Marc Houle, Bjorn Storig delivers some smooth and slinky progressive house vibes on "Babylon Angels" while Ferdinand Dreyssig ventures further into the void on the moody industrial-edged stomper "Amnesia".
