Horny United
Whether as DJ, producer or label owner - Olli Wallner certainly numbers among the most active personalities in the international house scene.
Influenced by the early acid house and Chicago house styles, the man from Duesseldorf, Germany, decided to enter the dance music business. This decision would later subordinate the unbroken passion for BMX sport as well as the study of Economic and Social Sciences.
With his act Horny United, he has ensured regular “real” club hits for years. Through contemporary sounds, high-end production and the decisive feel for hooklines, songs such as “Good Times”, “Let’s Stay Together”, “Somebody Scream” and “Your Eyes” have successfully walked the tightrope between insider-tips on the leading dance floors of the club scene and a mass presence on TV, radio and in the international sales charts.
Besides this, the Single “Love To Love You Baby” was honoured through its use in a high-budget Coca-Cola advertising campaign. With the European-wide chartbreaker “Crazy Paris (Paris Latino)”, the ace house outfit already has a true classic under its belt.
In parallel to the various Horny United releases, Olli Wallner has ensured a no less impressive hit quota under his Jim Tonique alias. Multiple “must-haves” have recently been fielded. With “Saxy Destination”, a joint production with Eddie Thoneick, he created the song that months later would become an international million-seller as “Destination Calabria”. The single “Better World”, a project with Patrick Bryze, made the leap to the top of the UK Buzz Chart, one of the world’s most important charts for dance music. The song received the highest possible accolade when it was signed to the top British label Ministry of Sound.
Various remix projects also ensure regular splashes. Reworkings of, among others, Eric Prydz, The Freemasons, Robbie Williams, Armand van Helden or German pop heroes Mia have won cult status.
Olli Wallner started his career as a DJ in the 1990s, before his entrance into the producer business. With his unmistakable style, he enthralled not only at countless sets in the hottest clubs in Germany and abroad, but also at his residencies at the in-locations of Dusseldorf, 3001 and Nachtresidenz, which he decisively influenced musically. Nachtresidenz, just like 3001, is one of the most prestigious addresses in Germany, and is furthermore home to the monthly “We Are Attractive” club nights. Here, the unique mix of DJ set, live percussions and live vocals regularly impress the crowds. A combination that turns every Horny United show into an event.
His position as boss of the Attractive label, which has grown into one of the high-profile brands of the club scene, has developed into a potential full-time job. Not only regarding his A&R work, he is responsible for almost all issues.
Productions and releases from Alex Gaudino, Klaas & Micha Moor, Thomas Gold, DJ Jeroenski, Born To Funk, Eddie Thoneick, Dualton and Alex Romano underline the premium appeal of the label.
The successful compilation series “Attractive Club Sweets”, presented and mixed by Horny United, offers regular upfront and exclusive highlights from the DJ sets. Launching the “We Are Attractive” tour will be a further focus.
The latest offering is the Horny United coup “Golden Faces”, including a massive remix package on the way to the top of the DJ charts. With the double mix-CD “Attractive Club Sweets Vol. 3”, an extremely hot potato for the album market is ready to take off.
