Possibly the biggest release on OFF in 2011 so far!

OFF 26 introduces two new talents to the label: Berlin-based friends Daniel Dexter and Nhan Solo.

They deliver "Our Thang", a dead-funky discofied summer tune, based on samples which all lovers of 90ies HipHop will dearly remember.

On the flip side, labelowner Andre Crom & Martin Dawson deliver a deeper, more linear interpretation, based around a mighty bassline and an epic slowdown in the main break.

Second remix comes from Luca Lozano & Sacha Robotti, who score with a raw and toolish groove, adding further elements of the sampled song and additional sweet vocals.

Support:
Jesse Rose: #bigone

Daniel Dexter and Nhan Solo - Our Thang

Andreas was born here in June on the beautiful planet Earth in a magnificent solar system. He is very grateful for this, and since then he has enjoyed all kinds of lively music, which plays an important role in his life. He thanks all artists and music lovers for allowing him to continue to experience his life with all its ups and downs ;-)

Music is a special kind of safe in which you can give free rein to your boundless creativity to continue to record positive events in life and process less positive ones. In this sense, time does not stand still, but music remains timeless....🎶💜🎶

<a href='http://gigs.gigatools.com/u/ledexter' target='_new'>Daniel Dexter's Upcoming Gigs </a>Friday 25 October, 2013 <a href='http://gigs.gigatools.com/u/ledexter' target='_new'>Luna Club, Kiel, Germany</a> <a href='http://www.gigatools.com' target='_new'>Powered by GigaTools</a> Daniel Dexter is a producer, DJ and labelowner. He’s been living in Berlin for a few years now and one can call him a jack-of-all-trades. He releases on Steve Bug’s label Poker Flat Recordings as well as Semester Musik and Andre Crom’s OFF Recordings.
His love is devoted to reduced House, Chicago House and Detroit Techno.
Nevertheless, he doesn’t really care about genre-boundaries. His DJ Sets promise euphoria, style and attitude. They live on the mixture of abstract melodies that are carried through danceable rhythms and percussive grooves. Daniel Dexter knows his way around music. He knows his job as a DJ. He owns a filed mixing-technique and an exclusive mixture of records. However, he’s also a party animal.

But who the hell is that guy?

In the beginning Daniel was into Punk music but then got fascinated by the new electronic music. The machine like sound from acts like Kraftwerk is what fascinated him so.
As young as the age of sixteen he bought his first DJ equipment. Looking for the underground in the Bavarian province he found it at illegal parties at factorials and empty buildings in his hometown Ingolstadt. The sets as a resident DJ were often longer than 7hours and the clubs were all wrecked and not even the drinks were on the house. Nevertheless, the enthusiasm was so high; he started to produce his own tracks. Just after the millennium he was torn to Berlin as something was happening right there and the sound he liked so much was just there. Through the first record releases he was very often booked as a main act. Because of his engagements he saw cities such as New York, Istanbul, London, Barcelona, Los Angeles, Amsterdam, Tijuana or Helsinki. His music is nowadays found in the record bags of famous DJ’s such as Erol Alkan, Laurent Garnier, Kevin Saunderson, Steve Bug, Tiefschwarz, Modeselektor, Jesse Rose, Sis, Nick Curly, Gorge and A-Trak.
