Daniel Dexter is the latest new talent to emerge as part of the Poker Flat crew. After some success with his strong, futuristic productions on Semester Musik, the Berlin based producer has found a new home in Steve Bug's modern house magnate.

The moody, storming 'No House For Old Men' is a superb example of Daniel's talents. Synth-heavy, dramatic and restrained, this slow burning houser lifts and climbs into spacey, ecstatic moments as its Detroit influenced keys and Carl Craig-esque peaks bring it home.

The groovy 'Who Knows Motorcity' works a simple yet addictive theme in a powerful pop-house moment, especially designed for summertime evening action. Clean, bright percussion and rubbery synths flavour this delightful second course!

The deeper, hypnotic tones of 'The Other Day' have an almost soundtrack quality as subtle key changes and detailed sound design take this track into more subterranean realms. Melancholic yet positive in its resolution, this is future house music in its prime!

As a digital bonus the funky organ-led grooves of 'Real Life' swing along with some great old-school references, yet keeping it fresh for a new generation.

Happy New Year!

Mystery surrounds the identity of production combo Claptone. Perhaps it doesn't matter...
Their first EP "She Loves You" was a mix of sharply floor focused tech-house, deep house and disco blends. Here is the follow-up: CREAM...not only for lovers of 90ies Rapmusic.
Please leave some nice comments. We got plenty of dope releases coming on Exploited this year.

CLAPTONE - CREAM / GOOD TO YOU I Exploited Records

Berlin based Daniel Dexter is part of the new breed of producers showing us why there‘s still mileage in the good old house groove. His cultured, expressive productions have the mark of a true talent and Mr. Dexter has only just begun...!

The acid-revival lives on. `Storm‘ is a heavy, late night tale of sax, e-piano and stomping synth basslines. Growing from a filtered intro, its song like structure drives us into true reckless abandon - perfect for the darker moments of the night, but still oozy with funk and soul.

The thick, percussive opening bars of `There Will Be Jazz‘ lead to a focus on one of Dexter‘s chosen weapons - more jazzy saxophone samples and synthesized strings lift us into a musical crescendo of tension, yet there‘s a laid back, New York vibe to the track, which will no doubt get plenty of plays this summer.

The mysterious `Murder‘ is a darker affair, shrouded in rave-era stabs and a real pushing vibe. It's clear that Daniel is a dextrous (no pun intended) producer with plenty of tricks up his sleeve.

Daniel Dexter - There Will Be Jazz

<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.
