Oliver Klitzing

Real Name:
Oliver Klitzing
Profile:
Oliver Klitzing is one of the most talented producers in trance/techno scene and records under the guises of Reeloop and Kaylab. His innovative and straight productions always show new directions in the techno scene and he decided to launch his own label "Headline Records" in 1999. His big break came with the anthem Reeloop “Fucking Society” which was licensed to Tracid Traxxx (Gas), Digidance (Benelux), Airplay (France), BXR (Italy), Sheer Music (South Africa), Magic (Poland), Central Station (Australia) and VMP (Asia) plus various compilation releases worldwide and received massive dj support. In July 2002 Paul Van Dyk played the track as one of five at the Loveparade, Berlin! "Fucking Society" was the top 5 selling record in Germany in 2002, and sold worldwide more than 17,000 records. In summer '02 Headline released again in co-operation with Tracid Traxxx, the first Oliver Klitzing “I Like That Beat” which was a huge success and in February 2003 Oliver launched his second label, called "Minority Records". In April 2003 the remix of Lambda’s "Hold on Tight" reaches anthem status with dj’s everywhere hammering it. In April 2003 he released his first Album/Mix CD "The very best of 3 years Headline". Oliver Klitzing is not just a successful producer but well established DJ. His impressive DJ sets include very harmonical tecknoide grooves, crazy vocal hooks and sophisticated mellow lines. This kind of style you can also hear in his own productions, many DJ's call that the "headline style" which is a mix of Underground grooves with Commercial elements, from Trance to Techno. Nowadays he has gigs around Germany every weekend and has international bookings in Japan, Poland, Australia (Hardware Universe) and The Netherlands (4 Elements).

Review by DJ_Defcon Aug 21, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)
I find it really hard to listen to this guy's stuff. The beats always clash, the distorted grinding synths always drown out the beat, and all of his tunes sound the same. I could almost classify this shit as Power Noise. It's really pretty much power noise with techno loops. He never really has any melodies in his tracks, just long, dragged out, low-pitch grinding synths that are worse than nails on a chalkboard.
