Get Koletzki & Schwind's 'She Wants Acid' EP here:
➟ iTunes: http://bit.ly/1KzUsmg
➟ Beatport: http://btprt.dj/1CmGlNn

Artist: Koletzki & Schwind --> @oliverkoletzki @nikoschwind
Release Title: She Wants Acid
Label: Stil vor Talent
Catalogue No.: SVT146
Release: 13.02.2015

Having established themselves within the global DJ circuit, label founder, producer and DJ Oliver Koletzki and his protégé Niko Schwind now team up for a floor-focussed live-project: Koletzki & Schwind. To be released on Koletzki’s own Stil vor Talent, ‘She Wants Acid’, their maiden collaboration, takes no prisoners. 	

The title-track is crafted around a booming groove, Witch Doctor-style stabs, and a vocal loop, until the duo plunge into a deranged acid break-down accentuated by ominous UFO synths.  On ‘Fake-Return’, Koletzki & Schwind appropriate elements of trance, twisting them into a synth-led monster with growling sub bass. Lastly, jacking garage percussion and an old-school bass-lead drive ‘Sydney’, K&S’s homage to the golden age.   	

Having delved in to hip-hop, downbeat, or electro-pop with past solo productions, ‘She Wants Acid’ exemplifies one thing: Koletzki & Schwind are ready to party.

Chambray’s sophomore record is set to launch in mid-February via Jimmy Edgar’s Ultramajic outpost. Work That, the Berlin-based producer’s follow-up to the Rub EP, stays true to the label’s signature style of staccato functionality. Rigid beats, lightning claps, and catchy vocal blips abound throughout the four-track on the digital-only release, as do flashes of ghetto house’s dogged vocals and dusty hi-hats. Chambray strikes a balance between rigorous, inflexible workouts and jewel-bright melodic elements with dreamy synth breakdowns on the title track and a clipped piano part on "Anew.“

The melodies in Matt Dwellers’ tracks are like the lush, sprawling beauty of exotic vines, growing around each other and then sprouting precious flowers with fantastic patterns. They extend on the surface before slowly dissolving into the highly emotive and sensual groove with circular movements – and just like that, we too dissolve into that groove while dancing. Here’s an EP packed with organic house gems that radiate an all- encompassing vibe of warmth from their cores.

With “Horizons,” Ha.arp delivers a mesmerizing journey that unfolds like a cinematic sunrise—delicate, expansive, and emotionally evocative. Released on the ever-consistent Magician On Duty imprint, known for its atmospheric and boundary-pushing catalog, this track comfortably carves its place among the label’s finest downtempo offerings.

From the opening moments, the production radiates warmth. Gentle pads swell and shimmer, creating a lush sonic bed that feels both airy and grounded. There’s a tender interplay between ambient textures and subtly modulated synth lines, which ripple like waves against a shoreline. Ha.arp’s attention to spatial design is notable—every element is placed with intention, allowing the composition to breathe.

Rhythmically, “Horizons” leans into restraint. The percussion is soft-spoken yet effective, with shuffling hats and organic-sounding hits that emerge gradually, never overwhelming the arrangement. This minimalist groove supports the track’s emotional core without disrupting its meditative flow.

As the piece evolves, melodic fragments surface like fleeting memories—glassy keys, distant echoes, and atmospheric arpeggios. These sonic details add depth and narrative, inviting repeated listens. It’s a track that doesn’t demand attention but rewards those who give it.

“Horizons” is a masterclass in subtle storytelling through sound. Perfectly suited for early morning sets, introspective moments, or slow-burning journeys, it captures the essence of Magician On Duty’s aesthetic—elegant, emotional, and immersive.

Playing at Garbicz was a big dream I've had since my the first time I attended it back in 2019. So there was so much fiery yet patient passion in me lounging to be expressed in this debut set. At the same time, I have felt the collective burden SO much given all the unacceptable atrocities going on in many places in the world...

A lesson my therapist has helped me to navigate it: the price we pay for suppressing a certain emotion is that we end up suppressing ALL of our emotions.

Let that sink in for a moment...

The joy I felt was not "despite" everything happening in the world, but rather In Acknowledgement and Recognition of it, with all the emotions it evokes. It was the only way I found to honor the blessing of living this dream authentically. That’s why this became one of my most powerful sets.

Nina Simone once said: “An artist’s duty is to reflect the times.” And this set truly did! It was a proper blast with many of my favorite tracks AND, at the same time, a prayer filled with powerful messages and (indigenous) wisdom to guide us through the times we are living.

Thank you to Garbicz for having me, especially to @lichtung_garbicz and to everything it Stands for. Also big gratitude to every friend and dancer who waited through delays, woke up early, or stepped out of their tents to join me at @alisteebar. Your fiery energy is woven into the recording 🔥 And to those who shed tears during or after — I feel you. I cried twice while preparing this set myself.

May it uplift us to meet the responsibility that comes with privileges. May it remind us of the power of our daily choices. May it spark peace, unity, and positive change in a fractured world. Because we are truly strong only when we stand together! And I deeply believe in the connective Power of Music to help us get there 🫶🏼

🎵 Alex Volta [ at ] Wurzelknorken 3000 Festival [ Live-Special ] 🎵

Der. für uns bisher unbekannte Alex Volta bereichert uns heute mit einer erstklassigen Aufnahme des kleinen aber feinen Festivals Wurzelknorcken 3000 bei. München. Eine Playlist zum Verlieben und ein ganz feines Gespür für Stimmungen erwartet euch. Genießt es!


<<< INTERVIEW >>>

✔️ Was sind deine musikalischen Einflüsse? Was ist dein musikalischer Hintergrund?
Angefangen hab ich mit ganz viel Live-Musik – ich spiele Schlagzeug und Saxophon seit ich ein Kind bin, von Blaskapelle über Drumline bis Punkrock-Band war da alles schon dabei. Techno hat mich dann mit um die 30 erwischt und naja – im bin im Rabbit Hole 😉

✔️ Was macht deiner Meinung nach eine gute Afterhour aus?
Entsteht für mich vor allem erstmal aus einer guten Party und dem Wunsch, die Connection noch nicht enden zu lassen. Wenn dann noch tolle Menschen, ein cozy Space und ein paar Sonnenstrahlen dazu kommen, dann wird’s besonders!

✔️ Welche Gedanken magst du uns zu deinem Mix mit auf den Weg geben?
Ich liebe es, Dinge mit Bedeutung aufzuladen. So finde ich entsteht Kunst. In diesem Mix habe ich viele Tracks und Vocals so platziert, dass kleine Story-Momente entstehen. Wer genau hinhört, wird viel entdecken. Und am Ende ist vielleicht dann alles (wieder) da, wo es hingehört 😉

✔️ Bei Mitschnitten von Gigs: Wie hast du den Gig empfunden?
Der Gig war auf dem „Wurzelknorken 3000“ – einem kleinen, familiären Festival in der Nähe von München. Oft weiß man ja nicht, ob die eigene musikalische Vision für ein Set in dem Moment dann auch funktioniert. Aber da gab’s gar keine Frage: die Energie und Verbindung war da, von Anfang bis Ende. Hab mich sehr verstanden gefühlt, war durchgeschwitzt und glücklich.

After a creative break, we’re excited to return with a new chapter of our podcast series. For this restart, we’re especially delighted to have our dear friend @pulli_music on board.

Her sound has inspired us for a long time, which makes it all the nicer to present her set from this year’s Mystic Creatures Festival as our latest down.cast episode.

We hope you enjoy listening these two hours of high energy music — and floating back for a short trip with us to our favorite island.

For more than the last decade, Ron Flatter has been enriching the house and techno landscape with his own direct and energetic productions and warm, groove-driven DJ sets. Initially the young German was a keen skateboarder and hip hop fan, but the lure of dance music soon pulled him in and he has never looked back since. 

Over the years he has turned out a high number of consistently excellent and innovative tracks that are filled with unique sound design, fresh melodies and plenty of dance floor drive. He has done so on labels like Pour La Vie, Still vor Talent and Traum Schallplatten, always evolving with each new release and exploring fresh new ground. Plenty of taste making talents ardor the world have all played his productions in the past, and recent cuts like “Stupid World” and “Desert” have taken DJs by storm: they combine heavy drums with light, emotive pianos and well-timed breaks that thrill and surprise just when you least expect.

As a DJ, too, Ron is a skilled selector who knows exactly what to drop and when to drop it. He has played in every major club and festival in Europe in the last decade and holds down a key residency in his hometown of Halle (Saale), Germany. It is there that he likes to interact with crowds, read their needs and play to their passions, mixing up deep house and techno and plenty in between. 

After more than 26 EPs and singles, a fine 2011 full length in Growth Rings that really showcased the breadth of his style and more than 50 remixes, all of which have seen Ron put his special stamp on a cultured selection of sounds, Ron Flatter is well and truly a global electronic player who wins big with each and every project. Always releasing and headlining on a regular basis, Ron Flatter’s beats are the beats that matter.
