Hidden Empire – Agonda [Stil Vor Talent]

Something soulful has been not-so-quietly simmering in the heart of Berlin for the past fifteen years. Familiar yet distinctive, restorative but energizing, a solace and a storm: Stil vor Talent.

More than a label, Stil vor Talent is a family. As we reach our fifteenth year together, we honor and celebrate our artists, staff, crew, dancers and listeners.

We marvel at the thousands of hours of incredible music released. We respect the tenacity, skill and courage of our artists. We tip our hats to the community we have created over fifteen years of throwing parties and festivals. With full hearts, we reflect on the laughter, the fun, the dancing, the connections.

Strangers have become friends, nights turned into days, and millions of steps have been meted out on the dancefloor as we journey with music together, creating pure magic in streets and clubs and festivals all over the world. This is acceptance, this is diversity, this is love.

We salute you: thank you for helping us to keep the dream alive. Now we invite you to celebrate the collective evolution of fifteen years of diverse styles, innumerable talents, friendship, collaboration and community under the Stil vor Talent umbrella.

Our 15th-anniversary gift is a nod to the evolution of Stil vor Talent: we present two 11 track compilations that will scratch every musical itch.

From the downright dirty dancefloor bangers to the gentler melancholic tracks more suited to the day-after-the-nights before.

Part 1 of the two-part compilation certainly stirs the pot.
Stil vor Talent’s young guns Sam Shure and Cioz bring a dose of youthful sass to the mix, sprinkling in layers of texture to create a lively, organic vibe, setting the tone for the rest of the album.

Swiss artist Kellerkind’s characteristic soulful house meets the collective enthusiasm of Township Rebellion to create ‘Bird Vision’, a slowly building, heavy-hitting cut which melts into high-tech aural sorcery.

Adding a dash of her very own nu-rave vibes, Deer Jade takes us into a groove portal with the mystical melodies and spaced-out sound of ‘Let Go’.

Rising star Yetti Meissner presents her first-ever release: ‘Nadir’. It’s deep, it’s dark and it’s safe to say that her energetic, gritty style of pure techno will shake the foundations.
