The first part of his big city tale entitled Großstadtmärchen acted like a catapult for Oliver Koletzki in 2009, pushing him from the DJ booth into the limelight of electronic pop music. Now, three years later, Oliver releases a sequel to the successful long player in the form of Großstadtmärchen 2. In addition, Stil vor Talent is presenting a jam-packed double vinyl remix package of some of the album’s many highlights. Things kick off with the epic “The Devil in Me", a pop anthem featuring the beautiful voice of Berlin wonderboy Jan Blomqvist. The original song features Oliver’s distinctive piano and synthesizer melodies, as well as a strong guitar sample, over which Blomqvist sings in his unique style. Niconé & Sascha Braemer take the track to the dancefloor by creating a slowly pulsating tech house remix that builds upon the groovy guitar sample. Very elegant! Format B then go out of their comfort zone and use the original vocal from the chorus to design a melodic and organic peak-time house affair that simply keeps on moving, and moving. Next up is “You See Red", a pop song of international appeal that introduces the British singer Dear Prudence who we are bound to hear more of in the future. Swiss head house honcho Kellerkind constructs a slick, deep house cut of the original that is very much emblematic of the new wave of pure and raw house music of today. Berlin techno kids Channel X then make the original vocals central to their rework, thus constructing a tech-house version that possesses all the groove needed to get bodies heated on the floor. On the second vinyl “Still” gets its remix treatment. While the original is a high-energy pop affair featuring the characteristic voice of Fran, Niko Schwind mainly utilises its melodies while pitching the vocals down for a masculine effect. This works very well for his laid back house groove. Then, Stil vor Talent youngster Björn Störig takes Fran’s original work and assembles a jacking house cut around it.
