Oliver Chesler

what can be said about mr. chesler? some artists took an existing genre to its extreme... but Oliver Chesler went further than that, creating his own genre and style that has no second in electronic music.

yet he also worked as a pusher for scenes that have grown by now; making doomtechno while the rest of the hardcore world was on the speedcore craze; providing anthems to the gabber scene with flesh is the fever and more tracks; feeding techno with one night in nyc; fusing new wave, electro and techno with releases.

one of his merits was to bring songwriting and vocals back to techno when everyone was keen on bassmachines, drums and synths only.

of course, the thing with chesler was always the air, atmosphere, charme around his releases... remember the cryptic inlays of the thingstocome vinyls, or his plans to create a world political movement?
