1.
Growing Up
I grew up with good old ’90s hip hop, which definitely has had a big effect on my productions. Moreover, ’80s synthpop bands have heavily influenced me. I got so into it that I started taking keyboard lessons at the age of 13.

Inspirations
Chilly Gonzales is a huge inspiration. I have all of his albums and can play quite a few of his tracks on the piano. Of course, gigs, wild parties and the music of my friends are inspiring, too.

Your Crew
My crew is the Stil vor Talent label; we often collaborate with or remix each other. Luckily I’ve been able to live off music for quite a few years now. That’s a huge gift.

The Music You Make And Play
For the past few months I’ve been producing heaps of tracks together with Niko Schwind in the studio. They are tech-house leaning and dancefloor-focused – people can expect a real live act, with ass-kickin’ beats.
5. Music, Right Here,
Right Now
Here in Berlin we still have a very healthy club and music scene. I think it’s one of the best cities for advanced electronic music. HVOB and Joachim Pastor are really talented newcomers from Europe who should get the chance to play Down Under.
Oliver Koletzki is playing aboard the Spice Afloat New Year Sunrise Cruise 2015 alongside Space Dimension Controller, Trus’me, Niko Schwind, Fantastic Man, Murat Kilic and more. Tickets are available here.
