Buy link: lnk.to/Oliver-Koletzki-Bells-of-Kakariko-StilvorTalent. Stepping up with his newest release on A Tribe Called Kotori, label boss Oliver Koletzki pulls out a serious floor buster in ‘Bells of Kakariko’, which you’ll certainly hear a lot this summer. All in hi-intensity bass drive, Afro-electroid drum programming, and full-out anthemic impact, the track puts on a wild carnival of sizzling, FX-strewn EBM bursts and frenzied tropical house churn, channeling both that straightforward big-room momentum and heavily syncopated swing into both a fun and vibrantly hued slice of exotic body music. One to have the birds of paradise’s feathers ruffled and shimmering all at once.
