HOLGER ZILSKE AND FRIENDS


Featuring...


HOLGER ZILSKE aka SMASH TV - Playhouse/Bpitch CTRL - LIVE PA

Holger Zilske aka SMASH TV is by now a familiar figure in the electronic music landscape. Since his early beginnings as a producer, performer and sound designer, Holger Zilske’s achievements have steadily garnered him worldwide recognition. As one of the first artists on BPitch Control, one of techno’s most distinguished labels, he has been until now best known under his SMASH TV alias, founded together with former partner Michael Schmidt. 1999 saw the beginning of a prolific, long-term collaboration with BPitch label boss Ellen Allien. SMASH TV’s first own release “Electronic Boy” soon followed on the label, in 2001.

Holger Zilske subsequently went on to establish himself as a veteran in the BPitch stable. He has contributed nearly 30 releases on this label alone, including two albums as SMASH TV: “Electrified” and “Bits for Breakfast”. 2006 saw the release of two highly successful SMASH TV singles: “Air/Earth” and “Yellow Asteroids”. His collaboration as co-composer and producer with Ellen Allien also attests to his mastery and creativity in the studio, resulting in the acclaimed albums “Stadtkind”, “Berlinette” and “Thrills” as well as various remixes for Audion, Golden Boy with Miss Kittin, Malaria and Peter Licht.

In addition to numerous releases on BPitch Control, SMASH TV has also worked together with many other well-known artists as remixer, producer and composer. A special edit of the song “What About Me” appeared on Miss Kittin’s album “i-com”. SMASH TV has provided remixes for Adam Freeland, Dirtcrew, Mediengruppe Telecommander, Raz Ohara and Sylvie Marks among others.

Holger Zilske is in the spotlight now as DJ and producer, having shed his alias for his most recent project under his birth name. A first release as Holger Zilske, “Rainshower”, was produced together with Dave DK and appeared in 2006 on Playhouse, and was followed by “Spooky Kissing” at the end of 2007. During the same year, his track “Enduro Disco” was released on Mobilee sublabel Leena and has been getting rotation from Steve Bug, Richie Hawtin and Claude Von Stroke.

Every bit as dynamic outside the studio, Holger Zilske is a seasoned touring performer who has appeared in many countries including the US, Canada, Brazil, Russia, the UK and beyond. Since 2002, his highly charged live sets as SMASH TV have thrilled audiences around the world with their ecstatic, technoid style, and are always in high demand. Over the past three years, he has been no less captivating as an accomplished DJ, representing a more personal, deep and minimal side of himself that never fails to inspire the dancefloor. Currently he continues to perform and can be booked as both a live act (SMASH TV) and DJ under his own name.

His recently released debut LP for legendary label, Playhouse, has garnered critical acclaim both in the press and where it matters most ... the dance floor.
