Finally, Juli Holz is back on Stil vor Talent. The whispery and enchanting voice of the blonde singer and producer can now be heard again on two new tracks on Stil vor Talent. While her topics are still clearly defined, circling around music, love and life in the big city, her music has become more house-orientated and is even mingling with straight pop music. On the title track of her EP “Winterabend”, translating as “winter evening”, the charismatically shy Juli Holz sings about the cold feeling after a break-up. The constant overlaying of her own vocals almost creates the feeling of an inner dialogue with herself making Juli a truly digital artist, who creates her music on the fly, changing, alternating the musical patterns on her laptop while singing on top of this great poppy groove that goes under your skin. However introvert her music might be, it’s pop music how it should be. On the flip label manager Oliver Koletzki has the pleasure to create his own remix of “Winterabend”. He keeps the speed of the original but transforms the track into a much more dancefloor-orientated piece of house music. Big organic beat loops, Juli’s voice samples cut up and then his oh-so-typical array of grand pianos and funky guitars make this, once again, simply a crescendo of greatness! Juli has teamed up with her old friend and production partner Daso to create the daunting tech house drift that is “Königskinder”. This one keeps pumping all through its almost ten minutes and is a very neatly orchestrated piece of music that throws in some of Juli’s highly reverbed vocals that are then cleared up again as well as some drunk trumpets over the pumping tech-house loop. While it’s rapidly getting cold outside, we are happy we now have some warm music to hold onto again!
