These days Holgi Star (Holger Gutwald) is a worldwide demanded Top DJ and is running together with DJ Emerson the Berlin based underground Technoimprints: kiddaz.fm, playmate music, micro.fon and Style Rockets. In addition to this they run the New York based label Freak Waves in cooperation with Tony Rohr and Dietrich Schoenemann.How it all began

After some years at Germany´s first Techno magazine Frontpage it was time to realise his own projects and to build a musical plattform. So, the imprint Timing Recordings was born.

Consequently Holgi was entering the DJ-Biz with brocken Beats within the scope of the notorious „Dangerous Drums partys.

In 1999 - now devoted to Techno & Techhouse - he founded the label kiddaz.fm berlin together with DJ Emerson to give upcoming artists such as DJ Emerson, Marco Remus, Dave Shokh, Ron Flatter a platform.

In Spring 2003 Holgi Star released his debut album „Starwars on kiddaz, causing a furore nationally as well as internationally. The outstanding titel track of „Starwars was even available as ringtone in Japan.

In October 2003 he was the first artist of kiddaz getting booked for a big Brasil tour, playing 20 gigs all over Brasil: Among Sao Paulo (Cicuito, Lov.E, Mood Club), Curitiba (Vibe Club), Campinas (Kraft Club), Rio de Janeiro and many more. Additionally his DJ gigs the globe brought him to countries like Japan, Portugal, France, Spain, Russia, Croatia, Austria, Switzerland, Greece

But despite all this touring Holgi Star never neglected his studio work: Die Aerzte were pleased with a Holgi Star Remix for their Rock n Roll Uebermensch as well as Hardy Hard, Frankie Bones or Dietrich Schoenemann.

2004 is bringing the longplayer Hardgroovin Sessions. A massive follow up that attracted a lot of interest within the press und became album of the month in Raveline.

Holgi Star made a clear musical statement with „Hadgroovin´ Sessions, presenting an album that topped his debut easily. Within little time it found its way into the cases of renowned artists such as Laurent Garnier, Miss Kittin, Paul van Dyk or Pete Tong.

The next trick was the „Pimp Plate EP on Primate´s legeandary sublabel Primevil in the mid of 2004. This EP rocked the floors in England - the mother country of football and Techno - advancing to a club anthem quickly.

At the of 2004 Holgi Star and Dave Shokh created a remix for Dietrich Schoenemann´s und Tony Rohr´sVideo Brain on the Tora Tora Tora imprint. The remix is enjoying support by the likes of Sven Vaeth, Andre Galluzzi and Monika Kruse, just to name a few.

2005 sees the next two releases on Hidden Agenda: the „Bang Bang Ep and „Halli Galli - both produced together with Dave Shokh.

His first mix CD within the scope of their own Kiddmix series 001 named „Departement 9″ and the following Tour put Holgi Star more into the focus of public.

End of 2005 sees Holger Nielson (Holgi´s alter ego for minimal sounds) together with ND releasing a bit more relaxed stuff on micro.fon - the new up and coming imprint for advanced electronic music by kiddaz.fm.

More projects are scheduled for playmate music, micro.fon, hidden agenda
