Oliver Koletzki – Mantra For Bora [Stil Vor Talent] On “Candyflip”, the third sneak peek of his forthcoming “Trip to Sanity” album, Oliver Koletzki shifts gear and puts the pedal to the metal. The EP’s title track is pure forward momentum with its neon synth euphoria that rushes over a muscular body, generously pairing menacing bass with percussive storytelling. Next up, the arppaggio-driven “Mantra for Bora” settles somewhere between Psy-Tech and Italo, craftily working tropes of both into a climax of total dissolution. No matter the elements, one thing’s clear – Koletzki is ready to overtake. “Chasing Holes” then literally flips the candy on its head, taking off on auto-pilot, fueled by flamenco guitar licks and funky hand drums a-top a strong house groove. A word of advice, fellow ravers: Buckle up for a joyride through the depth of night – sunrise is on the horizon.

This Irishman does it all from stripped back minimal to powerful main room sounds and so is one of the driving forces at the heart of the underground right now. He shows a new look here with two heartfelt and house leaning cuts. Sol is a silky groove with textured synth leads and fresh drum grooves. Subtle vocals are stitched in and there is cosmic energy to the track that lures you in deep and keeps you there. Luna then takes a more late night approach with lush chords washing over you as the gentle percussion and soothing vocals heighten the mood. It's a tender sound perfect for the more intimate moments.
