On 'Made of Wood', his ninth full-length album, Oliver Koletzki embodies the seasoned craftsman, carving out his deeply personal sonic sculptures with a confident, learned hand, while experimenting with a broad range of thrilling ideas and fresh textures. Initially written in Tulum in late 2019, Koletzki completed the album in Berlin aided by numerous live musicians and vocalists, bringing his sketches to life with a focus on wooden instruments like djembes, marimbas, santoors or duduks, thus sculpting a natural sound that's warm in timbre, rich in groove and literally made of wood. 'Copal', the first of two advance EPs, captures the essence of Oliver's approach, teasing the release with its floor-focussed shaker of a title-track and the handpan-driven epic that is 'Cryptozoology'.

Berlin-based artist HOVR kicks off the rollout of their debut album 'Love Language' with 'Afterparty' – a playful and characterful first single created in collaboration with DC-based artists Fátima and Late London. Set for release on April 17 via Stil vor Talent, the track introduces the vibrant, genre-fluid world of HOVR's first full-length project. Built around a striking vocal moment and a groove that leans into retro textures and cheeky attitude, Afterparty captures the essence of late-night spontaneity. Driven by bouncy rhythms, crisp production and a subtle nod to electroclash aesthetics, the track blends club energy with personality, unfolding as both a dancefloor tool and a statement of identity. Equal parts bold and tongue-in-cheek, it channels a playful, slightly rebellious spirit that runs throughout HOVR's sound. As the opening chapter of 'Love Language', 'Afterparty' sets the tone for a debut album rooted in expression, connection and emotional range. Inspired by real-life moments and shaped through collaboration, the project reflects HOVR's ability to translate lived experience into vibrant, club-ready storytelling. Raised in a musical household and shaped by Berlin's club culture, HOVR has carved out a distinctive artistic voice that merges classical sensibility with contemporary electronic music. With performances spanning global stages including Burning Man and releases across respected labels such as Stil vor Talent, This Never Happened, 3000 Grad and HMWL, HOVR continues to build a universe defined by openness, energy and creative freedom.

Stil vor Talent welcomes gizA djs for their debut on the label with Italian Situation, a two-track EP moving between house and disco-infused grooves. The Italian duo delivers a release shaped by contrast, nostalgia and sharp observation, translating personal reflection into dancefloor-ready storytelling. Opening track Come Back Darling is rooted in a dusty vocal discovery that sparked a deep dive into the emotional core of house music. Built on 90s-inspired grooves, conga-driven percussion, disco-tinged brass stabs and piano riffs, the track radiates soulful warmth and uplifting energy, channeling classic house spirit through a contemporary lens. On the flip side, What Are You Doing in Italy, created together with Gianpietro, takes a more direct and playful turn. Born from an organic studio jam, a funky bassline and soulful sampling form the backbone of a track that blends irony with quiet protest. The recurring vocal question reflects the artists own conflicted feelings about cultural stagnation and change, while ambient recordings from a real Italian restaurant add an authentic, bittersweet texture.
