Berlin, Berlin Du bist so wunderbar… And that is praise that is not
only true of this city. Berlin is as diverse as Oliver Ton. Oliver Ton
is a musical talent that is hard to ignore nowadays. The 26 year-old
Berliner has been a part of the techno scene for almost a decade,
absorbing all the emotion and inspiration that he needs to fuel his
love for house and tech-house. In 2006 he made his first appearances on
the DJ circuit in Berlin and quickly began putting together parties
that mattered in locations such as Tresor, Maria am Ostbahnhof and Pulp
Mansion.
Constantly driven by his ambition, he was not content
with simply devising parties and for the past three years he has been
refining his own sound, which appears to be something that the punters
are more than happy to listen to. Summer 2009 saw him achieve his dream
- a single of grand proportions - Hasta el Fin, an absolute house
jewel. Blowing away the likes of Karotte, DJ Hell, Lexy, Niconé,
Phillip Bader and Bar 25 resident Dirty Döring but just as importantly
the crowds too: screams were heard from the 25.000 strong mass at Love
Family Park, the crowd in Cocoon, out on Ibiza and back at Bar 25 in
Berlin.
DJ Hell even described the track at Ibiza Sonica as
the fresh sound of Berlin, something featuring in his sets more and
more often and likened the track from Oliver to productions by Carl
Craig, so it was only a matter of time until the track was signed to
Gigolo. Indeed, Oliver Ton is the sum of his parts and these are much
more than just Hasta el Fin. Releases can be found on Styledriver,
White and Sonat Records and his sets have been described as “unifying
sounds, melodies, rhythm and floors, sidestepping borders and genres”.
Those wanting to experience Oliver Ton should keep their eyes and ears
open; his aim is to use his sound to render our world a better place
and to do that “hasta el fin” (until the very end).
