Oliver Koletzki Delivers New Album '12' via Stil vor Talent
A slow-burning, emotionally charged 12-track ride that locks into Koletzki’s melodic instincts and years deep in the game.

Oliver Koletzki returns with 12, his twelfth studio album and a clear-cut statement from an artist who’s spent over two decades shaping his own lane. Out now via Stil vor Talent – the Berlin imprint he co-founded – the record lands as both a milestone and a distillation of everything he’s built so far.
12 leans into atmosphere, restraint, and emotional clarity, dialing back any excess in favor of control and intention. It’s a record that moves with patience, balancing slow-burning club energy with a more introspective edge, and it feels fully in line with Koletzki’s core instincts as a producer. It stands as yet another impressive showing of the sharpened sound he’s been refining for years.
That same philosophy runs through Stil vor Talent itself. Now over 20 years deep, the label continues to back artists with a long-term vision – a mindset we highlighted when naming it Beatport's Label of the Month in July 2025, and again with its Koletzki-curated anniversary compilation.
With 12, Koletzki keeps it focused and fully intentional – a project built on experience, detail, and knowing exactly what to leave in.
