David Hofmann and Till Gerloff, found their common ground in and around House
music. It eventually lead to the formation of Dürerstuben in early 2009.

Yet, their musical starting point was somewhere completely different.
It was in 2007 when, in David's small home studio, the two began working on Hip Hop beats and lyrics. They
then lost touch with each other for a while, a time in which they both individually discovered their love for the
Berlin club culture and techno music. Based on this new-found shared interest, a reunion was inevitable and
eventually lead to what the two now call House.

Since, everything that has ever been of musical importance to Hofmann and Gerloff, has found its way into
the distinct style of Dürerstuben.
From the roots of modern twelve tone music over Claude Debussy, Roger Troutman, Quincy Jones and Metro Area to the House and Disco of the
80's and 90's and of course the Techno of the first decade of the new millennium. All these influences
contribute to Dürerstuben's ambitious desire to create music with mood, soul and character. 

With this goal, the two friends have been producing pieces that move away and at other times towards musical mainstream,
putting emphasis on the music's ability to move people's minds and bodies.

Aside from finding their own style, Dürerstuben have always been very keen on connecting with the
audiences during their live sets. Still today, Till and David draw a major portion of inspiration and fun from
being part of the lively atmosphere during a club night. The aspect of sharing their music and the ability of
creating a completely new atmosphere plays a big role in how Dürerstuben work and function.
In this way of being inspired, new wonderful details constantly make their way into the soundscape and also
the stage design of Dürerstuben. No matter what the future holds for the duo, you can bet it will not be
monotonous.

Regarding the origin of the name Dürerstuben, all speculations remain mere legends.

Riding in with the power to deliver sunshine to world’s rainiest open-air events, Monkey Safari brings rays of light to whatever dance floors they cast their shimmering spell on. 

The past few years saw the brothers swinging to new trees, retiring their previous labels to focus on their new label 'Hommage.' It were the years of transformation for the German producers, developing and tailoring a sound suited perfectly for the unique club nuances while still keeping the core elements of melodic chords and grooves synonymous with the duos productions. 

During this time, Monkey Safari unveiled their remix for Marc Houle’s “Pepper” on Richie Hawtin’s label Minus and their hugely successful “Cranes” and “Walls“ EPs that presented opportunities for Monkey Safari to work with some exciting musicians, such as Wolf + Lamb and Kölsch, techno heavy weights Guy Gerber and Josh Wink, as well as one of dance music’s most iconic producers, Moby. 

Monkey Safari remixed a track for Moby & The Void Pacific Choir, returning the favor after Moby’s successful rework of the duo’s track “Walls” last year. Their next releases continued in the same fashion, featuring remixes from Paco Osuna, Chloé, John Digweed & Nick Muir, UNER, Guy Mantzur, Victor Ruiz and more, while signing tracks from amazing Blond:ish, legendary John Tajada, and others on their Hommage imprint. 

The duo’s efforts in the studio have transcended to their DJ sets with stand out shows at Time Warp and Awakenings Festival. On top of a heavy touring schedule at world renowned clubs and headlining slots at festivals, the duo released their album ‘Odyssey’. Monkey Safari produced the same kind of tracks for this album they were playing as they toured nightclubs and festivals around the world, rather than simply a listening album. 

In 2018 Monkey Safari carefully handpicked remixers they saw as most capable of continuing their vision for the album. The ‘Odyssey Remixes’ featured reworks of the original album tracks by the master himself, Carl Cox, international stars Hernan Cattaneo, Guy J, Musumeci, Tensnake and Reboot, studio geniuses Dubspeeka, Hannes Bieger, ROD, and Phil Moffa, as well as up-and-coming talent Avidus and Trivmph . 

Monkey Safari’s third album comes in perfect time for the summer sunshine of 2019. The duo follow up their last album, ‘Odyssey’, with this warm, inviting collection of music designed to brighten your day and complement the glorious sunny days that bless us during the summer. Sven and Lars learned some valuable lessons from their last long-player, and the new album ‘HI’ comes from a far more relaxed, easy-going place. An organic project that came together quite naturally, their third album sees the duo in high spirits ready to bring a large dose of positive vibes and emotional depth to the party. 

2020 and 2021 sees Monkey Safari moving closer to legendary brands Get Physical and Anjuna Deep, starting with a remix and a multitude of EPs on the labels. Watch out for more news soon! 

The German outfit has been on an incredible run of form with promising developments in all of their endeavors and exciting news still to come. Be it a fresh remix or EP drop, DJ set or party, Monkey Safari will be sure to touch all scopes of dance culture with no signs of deceleration on the horizon. 
Their mandate remains the same, sending sunny vibes to make even the darkest dance floors smile.
