Clocking in on Stil vor Talent with a pair of no-nonsense floor busters, HIGHLITE put on the afterburners and don't intend to slow one iota, so better buckle your belt. Breaking the two-tracker in, 'Step Up' collides a solid blend of steely EBM with liquid dubstep and dancehall vocals, which, put together, unleashes a tsunami of bouncy bass, fevered drumwor,k and metal-clad breaks. Swirling and crashing with unrelenting power throughout, the track makes for a proper ragga-informed rollercoaster, combining a high-velocity approach and fearless big-room horsepower.
More of a straightforward jagged electro-techno affair on a hip-hop tip, 'Trick', serves up a highly dynamic buildup and thrilling sound-design. Mounted on a bass-heavy frame and doped on equally rousing pep talk, the title-track fires off a barrage of obsessive arpeggios and processed chords nonstop, ushering us straight in the heart of a volcano-hot dance floor at peak-time. Expect flows of black lava gushing out the woofers.
Since being founded in 2005, Stil vor Talent has continuously striven to evolve, to enable and to further countless artistic careers. Sascha Braemer, Reinier Zonneveld, KlangKuenstler, Moonwalk, Teenage Mutants, HVOB are just a few of many names that inextricably link to Oliver Koletzki’s Berlin-based label.
