oliver koletzki started with a techno record. Der Mückenschwarm came out on sven väth's cocoon recordings on 25 may 2005, a twelve inch with a dominik eulberg remix on the b side.
he founded his own label Stil vor Talent in berlin the same year and it has been his home base ever since. the label put out 20 Years of Stil vor Talent on 8 august 2025 to mark the anniversary.
he still digs like someone who has to. he told magnetic magazine in 2026 that he goes through promos on thursday night or friday morning, buys on beatport so he is current before the weekend, and files everything into rekordbox by genre.
With the sheer amount of releases out there these days, you really have to listen to a lot of music to find tracks that truly stand out, that you really connect with or that fit you.
