Kolter

About

Kolter spent years as DJOKO before a cease and desist letter pushed him to drop the alias and put his own surname on everything. The Cologne based DJ and producer made that switch at the end of 2022 and launched his own label, Koltrax, alongside it. His sound moves between classic house, minimal, electro and breakbeat, with the bassline as the thing he builds a track around. Early on he released on labels like PIV, Shall Not Fade and Berg Audio, and he has worked often with Chris Stussy, including as Stussko. Things have grown fast since. He made his Hot Creations debut in 2024 with the Red Alert EP, and his single "Trapped" on Koltrax became his first UK Singles Chart entry, peaking at number 48. A Positiva Records release, "Hey Everybody (Back in the Dance)", followed. His Spotify audience went from around 250,000 monthly listeners at the time of the rebrand to over 4.3 million by August 2026. Live, he has played Rex Club in Paris, DC 10 in Ibiza and Tomorrowland.
