The second part of the Ki Split Series is a feature of our homegrown talents Christian Loeffler and Steffen
Kirchhoff. The two friends are part of the Ki family since the beginning (Loeffler was responsible for the first
release on Ki and Kirchhoff for the third).
Both artist have a close connection in sound aesthetics and atmosphere, since they still inspire each other
every day. „The first people to listen to my unfinished tracks are my girlfriend, family and Christian Loeffler“
says Steffen Kirchhoff about his process of making music. They are also both artists throughout: Christian
manages to have different art projects running from music to painting and Steffen is also a very talented
photographer. But what impressed the international audience lately were their live-sets, which they already
performed all over Germany and Europe.
In this release everything comes together what these two exceptional talents learned on their journey so far.
A remarkable aspect is the use of samples, which both seem to have discovered as a new passion in their
process of making music. On the Ki Split Series 2 you can listen to Christian Loeffler and Steffen Kirchhoff
experimenting with beautiful samples and underlining the whole piece with their unique sound structure.
Both in their respective very own romantic approach to deep, melancholic techno music.

Fight again (Christian Löffler Remix)

Christian Löffler - Tausend

Daniel Dexter’s reputation as party starter extraordinaire keeps on growing – a result of his punishing touring schedule and consistently exceptional output of some of Europe’s top electronic labels. But it’s fair to say that Berlin based Dexter’s most rewarding and boundary-pushing work so far has been courtesy of Poker Flat Recordings – which makes this edition of the Hamburg imprint’s Focus On series very timely. 

Focus On Daniel Dexter joins the already illustrious company of previous releases that featured Argy and Guido Schneider, and is set to bring Dexter’s unique brand of dancefloor mayhem to yet more ears. Having spent 2012 touring the world and ripping up dancefloors in every way imaginable, this release brings into sharp focus the force of nature that is Daniel Dexter.  

The release draws together some key releases and distinct high points of his sound over the last few years, as well as giving us some very exciting glimpses of what’s in store in the future – scattered throughout this weighty release are numerous unreleased and exclusive cuts set to detonate dancefloors throughout 2013.  The exclusive tracks are available on the vinyl release, while digital customers can pick up all 13 unmixed tracks. What’s more, the album is also being released on CD as an exclusive mix made by Dexter himself, showcasing not only his expertly crafted tracks but his unique and highly sought after mixing skills – not to be missed! 

The journey starts with ‘The Other Day’ – Dexter’s emotional mood setter sounding as good as ever – a true slice of atmospheric dance music as you’ll hear. The album also makes sure to stop by some other Dexter-defining moments, including ‘No House for Old Men’ from 2011, and a trio of stunning releases on Poker Flat from 2012 – ‘Sirens’, ‘Storm’ and ‘Murder’.  Each was a master class in dynamics and production savvy, referencing classic sounds but never being overawed by them. Dexter’s astounding remix for Zombie Disco Squad’s ‘Righteous Sound’ on Made to Play is another case in point- tight, punchy, and filled with a menace and attitude that is all Dexter. 

Dexter’s skills for balancing the needs of dancefloors to the more cerebral needs of the home listeners is clear - and nowhere more so than on the new and exclusive tracks on this release. ‘Birds’ has a lightness of touch that makes it perfect for very early or very late in any set. ‘Night Away’ is more upfront but maintains a jazzy undertone and boasts a smouldering vocal from Geraldine Roth – and also comes with a handy dub version for the DJs. ‘Raw Land’ is a firing late night house monster, deep and trippy and sure to turn a few floors inside out when played at the right moment. 

‘Papillon’ builds dramatically, utilizes its few elements to create a wicked groove reminiscent of classic period Carl Craig, while ‘Why So Serious?’ adds another dimension of edginess to the proceedings. 
‘In To The Wild’ further references Dexter’s debt to Detroit, but transcends the sum of its parts to create a lush and emotive deep bomb.  Rounding off the album is Dexter’s upcoming remix of Gender Bombs ‘Danube’- a perfect way to close this epic journey- sitting somewhere between trip hop and deep house, this track showcases Dexter’s extraordinary diversity and sure touch for emotional dance music. 


Daniel Dexter - Into The Wild

Christian Loffler - Signals

My world is getting crowded. I need to get away, from here, from now, from tomorrow, from today. I want to be alone in my thoughts. No noise.

Not a passing car, not a voice carrying through the air, not a plane overhead. Just me and the music. 
I want to feel the euphonic melody flowing through my ears and into my head, unknotting the strands of thoughts in my mind that became tangled by the clatter of my surroundings.

In this moment, with the music seeping into my very bones, my heartbeat slows to the rhythm, as I close my eyes, shutting out the world around me.

In this pure moment, I am free
