Come up some years down the rail, and Oliver is now an international touring producer with a very successful label called "Stil vor Talent" under his management. Before Oliver's trip to the land downwardly under to play at Pitch Music & Arts Festival , we shot over some questions to the German. He is what he had to say.

SR: You lot'll exist playing at Pitch Music & Arts Festival in March this year. The buzz effectually the festival is that it's ane of the best electronic lineups that Melbourne has ever seen. What's your thoughts on the festival as March approaches? Are there any other acts on the lineup that you're a fan of personally?

OK: In that location are then many stunning artists. The lineup is huge. Near everybody I met in the last week here in Melbourne was talking about Pitch Festival. And I'm curious about the festival site.

SR: Australian bush-league festivals are quite notorious as we have a very unique natural scenery which makes the perfect backdrop for a political party. Downward here we call them "bush doofs". Have you heard of the Australian "doof" scene before?

OK: Of grade I've heard of the doof scene! I've been going to Rainbow Serpent every twelvemonth. That one'southward a prototype of a doof festival, correct? If existence at a bush-league doof means being a hippie raver, I'm definitely a bush doof myself.

SR: You've recently been getting back into playing harder techno during your DJ sets. What has fuelled you lot getting dorsum into playing harder and faster techno? Is this a trend that volition brand information technology mode into your productions?

OK: Aye, I've been playing harder once more for the last ii years (not faster). It'south fun. I was a niggling bit bored of deep house after doing it for 6 years. And so people at Pitch festival tin await a more than tech-y set. Fun fact: the new anthology coming out in may is a 75% shamanic downbeat album. 🙂

Then when I had to determine for a proper name for my label 12 years ago I prepare style above talent. But of course that's ironic.

OK: I never thought we will exist that successful and could survive for such a long time. The kickoff years were quite difficult. It was so much work to bring the label to where it is today: a real company with 5 employees and 3 trainees where everybody is doing what they love.

OK: I have the all-time squad in the earth in our Stil vor Talent office. They clear my dorsum so I tin concentrate on writing music and playing shows.

SR: What's some advice that you lot take for the younger generation of up and coming producers? Considering how many people these days produce, what'due south the best style for getting your music noticed and out at that place?

OK: Learn to play a existent instrument. Study your music product software. Don't ship a demo after finishing your first track. Have fun and become for golden.
