Following the release of “Trip With Me” with Frida Darko in December, the new single offers a second glimpse into Koletzki’s forthcoming studio album “12”, due on April 10.
Berlin-based DJ, producer and Stil vor Talent co-founder Oliver Koletzki opens his 2026 catalogue in style with “I Don’t Need Your Love” – the second single to be taken from his highly anticipated upcoming album, “12”. Available worldwide from January 30 via Stil vor Talent, the new single follows the momentum of December’s “Trip With Me” – Koletzki’s punchy, tongue-in-cheek collaboration with rising talent Frida Darko – and continues to explore the endless capabilities of Oliver’s ever-evolving sonic world.
Built around hypnotic vocal hooks and Koletzki’s signature interplay of crisp syncopated drums and shimmering melodic detail, “I Don’t Need Your Love” is a confident, high-octane offering that leans into the playful, yet club-ready DNA that has become a hallmark of his extensive discography. As the second glimpse into “12”, the track channels the maturity of an artist with two decades of experience and the curiosity of a producer still intent on reshaping the dance floor, with its emotional clarity and textured production marking it as one of the album’s standout moments.
Due for release on April 10, “12” represents Koletzki’s next major artistic chapter. The album follows his 2023 LP “Trip to Sanity” and begins a new conceptual cycle for the Berlin visionary. Early singles “Trip With Me” and now “I Don’t Need Your Love” reveal an artist reconnecting with the essence of dance music while embracing fresh influences from global tours, festival stages and collaborations with the next wave of talent.
Since breaking through with the 2005 classic “Der Mückenschwarm” on Cocoon, Oliver Koletzki has become one of Germany’s most respected electronic artists – a DJ, producer, label head, collaborator and mentor. His musical evolution has taken him from the deserts of Burning Man and Rainbow Serpent to the beaches of Tulum and Ibiza, informing a catalog that blends organic warmth, deep emotionality, and dance-floor familiarity. Across two decades, he has also helped cultivate countless careers through his influential label Stil vor Talent, from Klangkünster and HVOB to Township Rebellion, Marlon Hoffstadt, Deer Jade and more.
