Oliver Koletzki

Oliver Koletzki, born on 5 October 1974 in Braunschweig, is one of Germany's most influential house music producers and DJs. After early experiments producing on a Commodore 64, he moved to Berlin in 2000 to pursue his passion professionally. His international breakthrough came in 2005 with "Der Mückenschwarm", discovered by superstar DJ Sven Väth and released on his iconic Cocoon label. Remixes by Pig & Dan and Dominik Eulberg followed, along with worldwide bookings – Groove Magazine readers voted him Newcomer of the Year. That same year he founded Stil vor Talent, which grew from a DIY operation into a major independent label with over 120 releases, launching the careers of artists such as HVOB, David August, Township Rebellion and Reinier Zonneveld. His debut album "Get Wasted" appeared in 2007, followed by "Lovestoned" (2010) and "I Am OK" (2014). His 10th studio album "Trip to Sanity" (2023) was partly written at his secondary home in Cape Town. Koletzki has performed at Burning Man, Rainbow Serpent, Coachella and on the beaches of Tulum and Ibiza, cementing his reputation as a master of emotional, melodic house music.
