OLIVER KOLETZKI AND AMINE EDGE & DANCE ARE GETTING READY TO RULE THE DANCE FLOOR IN SOUND NIGHTCLUB IN HOLLYWOOD.
**Cough** (Techno Snob Appears) -
While, in all around the Los Angeles people are losing themselves with shitty, loud, and nonsense genres like "Booty House" - "Trap House" - "Dubstep House" and etc.. (These are not even genres), one nightclub in LA serving with quality underground sounds to their visitors for the last 5 years.
In their 2018 resume (yes, only in 5 months) Sound Hollywood already hosted names like Black Coffee, Guy Gerber, Joseph Capriati, Maceo Plex, Mark Knight, Chris Liebing, Dubfire, Martinez Brothers and many many more. While some nightclubs saying "Naaaah, A big name once in three months would be fine", Sound always giving their fans a special treat weekly.
On this week, while the founder of the Stil vor Talent, Oliver Koletzki ruling the Friday night, on Saturday the pioneers of G-House movement Amine Edge & Dance will conquer the dance floor.
Let's get familiar with them.
Oliver Koletzki
Oliver Koletzki first started producing music in the eighties with a Commodore 64. At aged 13, he started taking guitar and piano lessons. His inspirations were Breakdance and Hip Hop music of the early nineties.
It sounds like a fairy tale. In 2005 29-year old OLIVER KOLETZKI presses 500 copies of his underground hit "Der Mückenschwarm". One of those white labels lands in Sven Väth's record bag and whenever he plays the track, the people go wild. Shortly after techno-king Väth signs the track on his techno empire Cocoon. "Der Mückenschwarm", already considered as a techno classic - becomes the best sold techno record of 2005, the best ever selling record on Cocoon and OLIVER KOLETZKI gets voted best newcomer of the year in prestigious Groove magazine.
But one would be fooled to think that this was the start of Oliver's musical career. Since he was 12 years old, OLIVER KOLETZKI has been deeply infected with the production of music. He starts out by programming Hip-Hop beats on the C64, but quickly falls in love with more electronic sounds like breakdance and synthie-pop that he produces on the first Amiga computers.
When he turns 18, he also starts to DJ in his hometown of Braunschweig and quickly becomes a regular DJ in the local clubs. In 2000 he decides to move to Berlin to study music – and the excessive Berlin nightlife. He promptly lands himself DJ gigs in smaller clubs and bars, but with the release of his first record, things change for the better. In the summer of 2005 he starts to play festivals, gets booked into the most prestigious clubs all over the world and gets asked to remix the likes of Rockers Hi-Fi, Client or Cassius.
However, while superstardom is lurking around every corner, Oliver stays down to earth: "I have been making music for nearly twenty years now. That provides me with a stable base for not going nuts. Basically, I am still doing the same that I have been doing for years now: making music during the week and playing out on the weekends, even if it is on a slightly different level now." he says.
Amine Edge & Dance
Hailing from Southern France, Amine Edge & DANCE have taken the dance world by storm with their ground-breaking sound and high energy shows.
Mining the musical spectrum and taking inspiration from early House, Philli Funk, 80's Hip-House and everything in between, Amine Edge & DANCE bring their own cross-genre blend of Tech and House to clubs and festivals across the globe. Having enjoyed a meteoric rise, the CUFF label bosses have now cemented themselves as the leaders of their genre and the go-to guys for the best dressed parties in town!
Not content with just being superstar DJs, the duo are also skilled producers and can regularly be found riding high in the the top charts. Their undeniable ear for a catchy hook and a knack of crafting moody, future-facing club edits is evident in their versions of Frank Ocean's 'Lost' and the Notorious B.I.G-sampling 'Going To Heaven With The Goodie-Goodies' - two tracks that show the breadth of their musical influences and their biggest 'hands-in-the-air' hits to date.
With a slew of new releases being lined up and their label, CUFF - a collective of artists much more talented than most - going from strength to strength and making its mark as a musical movement all of its own.
So basically, I really don't want to sound snobby but guys come on, Electronic music is more than shaking asses and popping mollies. It's about spending a good time while being surrounded by people that understand you. It's not about impressing the people in the club, it's about losing yourselves with the beauty of the composition and mix which made by the artist in the booth.
So think about it again and be a part of this world.
See you at Sound.
