STYLLER

The nickname Styller is an alias for Branislav Klinko - a dj and producer, born in December 1983 in the heart of Europe – Slovakia. His family and friends were supportive of his passion for music ever since his childhood, passion, which is the most important part of his today’s life. He‘s first got into EDM thanks to his older sister, who used to listen to German rave music in the early nineties. Growing older he loved the dance music even more, found himself most comfortable with progressive and trance. Branislav first attempted to produce his own tracks at the age of 9, using various trackers, which were very popular back then, getting more experience and better technique as he progressed further. First notable success came in 2003, when his track „Nelle“ got chosen for a double CD compilation of the most popular EDM festival in Slovakia – BeeFree. Its professional adaptation and pleasing melody were appreciated by many local DJs and critics as well. Thanks to that track Branislav finally got first gigs around the country. After that we didn‘t hear much about Styller till 2008, since he‘s been building the studio and was trying to create his signature sound. He‘s hit the scene with a remix of „Naiad“ for a Slovakian project Domased Electronica, which came out on the 2nd of June on Hungarian label Tilth Music. Remix got huge success within the progressive community. n 2009 he released more remixes on labels such as Silk, Morphosis or Ocean Drive, which confirmed Styller to be an universal and quality remixer.

In 2010 he started to collaborate with Michael & Levan and Stiven Rivic, with whom he‘s been friends already. Soon after their agreement Styller’s first official EP – „What Happen Once“ was released, followed by more remixes. Massive male vocals in „We Will Fade“ by Michael Burns a.k.a Blue Haze made it the one, he‘s the most proud of.
