Time is near for the absurdities to commence.  We're excited to end out the
summer with a bang with an extended set from Eddie along with our resident
Alex Villalobos and special guest Holger Zilske.

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.

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.


2008 was a very productive year with two releases on two of the most
influential labels on the techno
scene. Hot on the heels of his last Playhouse
release comes a new
Holger Zilske single “From Birds and Bees” (play144),
and another
BPitch release as SMASH TV, “Locomotive Breath” (bpitch 170).


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.

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.

See you all on the 26th!
