Clubbing Magazine

Oliver Klein is a brandname amongst djs and producers worldwide. He conquered the international dancefloors last year with his powerfull single “Rheinkraft”, making way for a plethora of remixes including Tiësto „ Flight 643“, Members of Mayday „ Sonic Empire“ and Harry `Choo Choo` Romero „Tania“.These masterpieces were perfect proof of oliver`s qualities as producer. There was no stopping this german power machine...his follow up single “Timeloop” obtained massive support when international airplays were launched from radio1 key djs such as Seb Fontaine, Judge Jules and Pete Tong. Timeloop was the definitive floorfiller with Ministry Magazine voting it as one of the 15 best tunes in 2001. Shortly afterwards Oliver took a little time out to recoperate from his creative exertion in 2001. Fully recoperated, his time has been spent together with studio partner Jürgen Driessen to produce his new single “Shakedown” due for release soon on Maelstrom UK and Silly Spider in Germany. He also added the spice to Jürgen Driessen`s latest single “Help Me” by co producing the track, which is due for release on their own label Mutekki as well as UK´s leading imprint Hook Recordings. The Dj forefront has been equally action-packed in the past 12 months, spinning with big legends such as Paul Van Dyk, Dave Seaman and Tiesto in Ibiza at Cream. With guest sets in Uk`s superclubs such as The Gallery, Passion, Cream, Type and Colours has won him a solid fan base in the UK. Special apearances with Trevor Rockliffe in NY, Paul Oakenfold at Cream and Seb Fontaine in London`s The Cross furthered his credibility on the decks. Follow up sets in the global clubland made Oliver a well travelled man, with gigs in Japan, Hong Kong, Columbia, Panama, Costa Rica, Spain, Turkey, Czech Republic, Russia and many more...

Miami`s WMC 2002 was powered by Oliver Klein`s unique sound when he headlined the Crobar with Timo Maas and Seb Fontaine. Another hot highlight was his set at this year`s Mayday where he shared the decks with Dj greats such as Westbam, Carl Cox, Paul Van Dyk, Lexy K Paul and others.His success is sure to continue with the launch of his much awaited debut mix album “International Sound of… Oliver Klein” released by New State Entertainment, UK and PIAS, germany.This massive mix album due to be out on the shelfs in late autumn in collaboration with UK´s superclub Cream will be a sure sample of Oliver`s dynamic and powerfull mixing skills. If that`s not enough....Oliver will be jetting across the globe on a world tour in promotion of his album from the end of september until the beginning of a highly promising year 2003. In between all these dates Oliver still made it to put his uncopyable remix-spice to the likes of Who da Funk “Shiny Disco Balls” (Cream Rec, Subliminal / entered the UK sales charts at #16), Rob Dougan “Furious Angels” (Cheeky Rec., “Clubbed to Death”, co-producer of O.T.Quartett “Hold that sucker down”) and Capoeira Twins “Lose Control” (Silly Spider, Hope Rec., UK). And sometimes he sleeps.....!!!!
