Including: 

SVT037 Oliver Koletzki I Großstadtmärchen – (Vinyl Edition)

An oldie but goldie—Oliver Koletzki’s most successful album Großstadtmärchen is finally available on vinyl. Originally released as a landmark producer’s album, Großstadtmärchen features collaborations with a wide range of artists, blending genres with ease while staying true to Koletzki’s unique sonic identity.

From Mieze Katz (MIA.) and Axel Bosse to Kate Mosh, Fran, Pyur, and Juli Holz, the album presents ten tracks that glide effortlessly between catchy pop melodies, modern house grooves, and 80s-style synth-pop, all tied together by Koletzki’s distinctive sound and production finesse.

SVT193 Oliver Koletzki I The Arc of Tension - Vinyl LP

On his sixth studio album, The Arc of Tension, Berlin-based DJ, producer, and Stil vor Talent label head Oliver Koletzki invites listeners on an immersive, narrative-driven journey through sound. Acting as a sonic autobiography, the album moves through varying emotional and rhythmic landscapes—bridging Koletzki’s introspective side with his globally seasoned club sensibility.

Departing from his past vocal-heavy records, Koletzki crafts a more instrumentally focused storytelling experience, drawing inspiration from personal transformation, travel, and deep introspection. From the delicate ambient textures of the opener A Tribe Called Kotori to the melodic techno crescendos of Through the Darkness, each track flows naturally into the next—building a profound arc of tension.

The lush downtempo atmospheres of Byron Bay, Tankwa Town, and By My Side slowly evolve into powerful club anthems like Planetarium, Chaturanga, and Power to the People, the latter featuring acid synths and gritty guitar elements. The finale The Day We Leave Earth closes the journey with expansive ambient drones, leaving a lasting sense of elevation and emotional resonance.
