Eliezer Hofstaetter
Santa Clara Do Sul-RS
Since mid-2011, the Brazilian music producer Eliezer Hofstaetter, better known in the business as Coldbeat, has been developing his signature, standing his ground as Electro House producer. With his glitchy basslines, with slight Complextro touches and Trancy leads, Coldbeat has turned Progressive, House and Tech House tracks alike into powerfull Electro House remixes.
Thanks to partnerships with record labels from Argentina, Canada, Luxembourg, Turkey and many others (over 39 different record labels), Coldbeat had some serious exposure and support out there, being somehow recognized by names like David Guetta, DJ Chuckie, Steve Aoki, Far Too Loud, Rubicon 7, Markus Schulz, Monolythe, Soulfix, Hot Shit!, TheElement, Dirty Stab among many others. His productions have a special and unique touch, one of the reasons he was appointed one of the 10 best electronic dance music producers in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul by the ‘1º Prêmio Groove de Produtores Gaúchos’, the first most important award for music producers on that state.
In mid-2012 Coldbeat founded Coldwave Records, the record label is focused on all the different genres of Electronic Dance Music, and it was a fundamental factor to highlight the artist and his colleagues. To this date we can mention some of the most important accomplishments Coldbeat had as features on: Beatport (homepages, STEMS page and charts, TOP#60 Mixes, TOP#63 DJ Tools, TOP#9 Glitch Hop releases, TOP#46 Electro House releases); Trackitdown (homepages and TOP#87 Electro House bestseller); Junodownload (homepages and TOP#2 Best selling Electro House); Global Dance Music (homepage featured and TOP#1 most downloaded, alongside names such as Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Krewella, R3hab, Bassjackers and Candyland); ZipDJ - USA/House Charts (TOP#18 best releases, alongside names such as Avicii, Pete Tong and Martin Solveig); DJTunes (homepages and TOP#28 Electro House Bestsellers); EDM Network; DI.FM, among many others. In the local media, has been featured in the biggest newspaper of his region ‘O Informativo do Vale’ and the TOP#1 radio station ‘Encanto FM’, also featured at ‘Energia Pop’ and ‘Terra FM’ radio stations.
Coldbeat not only stands for Electro House, but also as a true supporter of the hard work of his fellow producers and partners. His Blog, the ‘Remix Contest’ page, ‘Remix-Release Opportunities’ page, among many more projects, and a lot more to come, represent the true meaning of his work, his legacy and his passion for music.
