"Own unreleased music only! The set is covering basically everything which I have been up to recently production wise. I love to jump between different genres and not just restrain to what used to work for me. Some people don’t like it and always ask questions like "can you make a track again in the old style of xy“. I don’t want to repeat myself so the set hopefully shows a little bit of a variety. From heavy sample work tracks in the style of Todd Edwards to more monotonous tech-house groovers which drag you into hypnosis".

Cologne based Kolter (fka DJOKO) continues to fire on all cylinders in the coming period, adding to his acclaimed back catalogue, and filling in his calendar with further exciting dates on a global scale.
The evolving artist has found himself rising at an alarming rate, and there seems to be no signs of slowing down, showcasing his effortless versatility to create all strains of house whether that be energetic big room sounds, or deeper productions the blossoming producer has got you covered.
Alongside all of this, Kolter also manages to find the time to propel his revered HOOVE label into the electronic music stratosphere, pushing a slew of dynamite releases, and hosting events in their home city of Cologne. Alongside Kolter’s own label, his dance floor dynamic productions have found him releasing on some of the most sought-after labels in the game, PIV, Shall Not Fade, Berg Audio, and fellow man of the moment, Chris Stussy’s, Up The Stuss imprint,
alongside some ongoing collaborations between the two beatmakers under their BBC Radio endorsed Stussko alias.
Autumn of 2022 will also see Kolter share his debut LP which lands comfortably on the Berg Audio outfit, and will play the role of the last chapter of his “Endless Explorations” series, innovative and charming productions on an integral label and a fitting end to his trilogy there. In 2023, the Cologne based artist will also launch a second imprint, Koltrax, which will focus on finally releasing some of his most in-demand unreleased productions. 
As well as offering an array of moods and energies within his releases, Kolter has a certain knack for his fluid, and genre melding DJ sets which have certainly taken off in recent years, the talented German has found himself setting the tone at Rex Club, Ibiza hotspot DC-10, Amsterdam’s Shelter, Tomorrowland, and several tours in corners of the globe such as Canada, Australia, and South America.
A name firmly on the tips of tongues of tastemakers around the world, Kolter continues to fuel the prolific and incredible fire he has created in recent years, carrying this enthusiastic energy and raw passion into seemingly the most integral chapter of his career thus far.

Another exciting name emerges from the Netherlands’ ever-thriving house scene as Hidde van Wee steps up for his first release on Up The Stuss with his four-track ‘Aspire To Inspire’ EP. Rapidly gaining recognition for his dynamic and groove-driven productions, Hidde has already turned heads via releases on Rossi.'s HOME//GRXWN, Heavy House Society, and beyond. Now, he arrives on Chris Stussy’s thriving imprint with a four-track collection that showcases his range as an artist, blending elements and influences spanning minimal, electro, and deep house to deliver a forward-thinking selection
built for the club.

Leading the charge, title track ‘Aspire To Inspire’ sets the tone with infectious bass grooves and shimmering synth work, providing a sleek opener that commands attention. ‘Perception Of Swing’ is another captivating journey through layers of fluid melodies and driving low-ends, while ‘Motion’ leans into deeper, hypnotic territories, pairing hazy tones over a menacing bassline to offer a classy yet dynamic contrast. Rounding out the package, ‘Metamorph’ delivers a fusion of cosmic synths
and slick, jacking drums, injecting a playful, futuristic edge to close the EP.
