Stil vor Talent

Stil vor Talent is a Berlin-based record label founded by Oliver Koletzki in 2006. The label's name translates to "style before talent," reflecting the founders' philosophy of valuing creativity, individuality, and artistic expression above technical skills alone. The label's sound encompasses a range of electronic music genres, from techno and house to ambient and experimental sounds. Stil vor Talent is also known for its distinctive artwork and design, which is created in-house by the label's creative team.

In addition to releasing music, Stil vor Talent hosts events and parties around the world, including their annual showcase at the Amsterdam Dance Event. The label has also collaborated with fashion and lifestyle brands such as Adidas, and has its own clothing and merchandise line. Over the years, Stil vor Talent has become a leading force in the electronic music scene, with a loyal fanbase and a reputation for quality and innovation.

In recent years, Stil vor Talent has expanded beyond music and events to include other creative ventures. These include an artist residency program in Portugal, a photography and film production company, and a publishing imprint that releases books and magazines on art, culture, and music. Through these diverse projects, Stil vor Talent continues to champion creativity and provide a platform for emerging talent across a range of disciplines.
