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 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.
