Smash TV Live! (BPitch Control / Berlin)
Holger Zilske aka Smash TV is by now a familiar figure in the electronic music landscape. Since his early beginnings as a producer, performer and sound designer, Holger Zilske’s achievements have steadily garnered him worldwide recognition. As one of the first artists on BPitch Control, one of techno’s most distinguished labels, he has been until now best known under his Smash TV alias, founded together with former partner Michael Schmidt. 1999 saw the beginning of a prolific, long-term collaboration with BPitch label boss Ellen Allien. He has contributed nearly 30 releases on this label alone, including two albums as Smash TV: “Electrified” and “Bits for Breakfast”. 2006 saw the release of two highly successful Smash TV singles: “Air/Earth” and “Yellow Asteroids”. His collaboration as co-composer and producer with Ellen Allien also attests to his mastery and creativity in the studio, resulting in the acclaimed albums “Stadtkind”, “Berlinette” and “Thrills” as well as various remixes for Audion, Golden Boy with Miss Kittin, Malaria and Peter Licht.
2008 is already set to be a very productive year with two releases scheduled for March on two of the most influential labels on the techno scene. Hot on the heels of his last Playhouse release comes a new Holger Zilske single “From Birds and Bees” (play144), and another BPitch release as Smash TV, “Locomotive Breath” (Bpitch 170).
Since 2002, his highly charged live sets as Smash TV have thrilled audiences around the world with their ecstatic, technoid style, and are always in high demand.
