Johannes, better known as Kolter, is a standout voice in Germany’s electronic music scene. Based in Cologne, he’s built a reputation for redefining house music with releases on influential labels like PIV, Shall Not Fade, and Berg Audio, while also steering his own imprints, HOOVE and Koltrax, into the spotlight. Previously known as DJOKO, Kolter’s productions showcase a rare ability to balance high-energy grooves with deeper, more atmospheric cuts. Collaborations with artists like Chris Stussy under their Stussko alias have further solidified his position as a versatile and forward-thinking producer. His debut LP, wrapping up the "Endless Explorations" series on Berg Audio, is a testament to his artistry. On stage, Kolter’s fluid and genre-blurring DJ sets have lit up iconic spaces like DC-10, Rex Club, and Shelter, alongside appearances at Tomorrowland and global tours spanning Australia, Canada, and South America.
