johnatanCosta- Dexter

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.

Our dear family friend, DANIEL DEXTER, is coming to visit and we couldn't be happier! We throw our doors wide open to welcome him into our backyard to start the festival season 2012 with this charming summer record. Spark the barbecue, put the drinks on ice and let our brand new; and so far most sunny release, MOTHER RECORDINGS 003 spin on your turntables......Oh - in case you forgot: Summer is just around the corner!

A1. Work Your Body (Audiojack Remix) We knew that Audiojack is always a sure shot but this time they outdid themselves. They boys from the industrial allyes of Leeds made a killer track topping understated coolness with hard drums and short crisp synthie steps that pierce your brain, two goose bump moments included that will keep you wanting to just go “yippeah yeah!!!” over and over again.
A2. Work Your Body (Original)
This one starts out with a pumping chicago bass and is driven pitched black vocals and swirling Rhode chords. No doubt you will end up with a feeling of standing in a warehouse back in the infamous nights when the Roland TR 808 and 909 gives off clouds of smoke. Daniel Dexter managed to create a gentle and subtle tribute to heroes like Lil Louis, Adonis or Steve Silk Hurley giving the track an advanced touch by turning it into a mélange with modern UK sound.
B1. Today (Original) Daniel Dexter, well-known for his expressive productions, presents this classical piece of house music that has one undeniable influence: Jazz. The sample might evocate a 90s Hip Hop feeling, reminding of that summer of our youth when girls still tasted like ice cream and music still came out of your portable ghettoblasters. But combining very earthy old school drums with the sax playing its intriguing twirling melody, Dexter’s focus on the pure essentials gives the track an inimitable contemporary sophistication.
B2. Today (Animal Trainer Remix)
Who could put warmth into a track with long stretched bass sounds better than a Swiss? That’s why we have Animal Trainer straight out of Zurich aboard, emphasizing the track’s laid back summery feeling by accompanying it with lots of ear tickling tinkling, dreamy synthie pads, and hand made drums. It all builds up, little by little, towards the ultimate break that will put you to the state of complete madness.

Daniel Dexter live @ Fusion Festival 30.06.2012

<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.
