PFR 165EP

Daniel Dexter continues his long and fruitful relationship with Poker Flat by channeling the sound of classic Clivillés & Cole in "Deeper Love," an early '90s house bomb that will send shivers down your spine. Underpinned by a resounding synth riff and dancing counter-motif, Kaori Kaneko's vocals provide the perfect foil, packing a powerful and soulful punch. Prolific Parisian Alexkid provides a radical reinterpretation on his remix: stripped down, muted and glitchy. Finally, Berlin's Bay Area import Kevin Knapp intones the names of classic Hollywood starlets over the smooth groove of "Heroine."

Daniel Dexter pulls together some blistering remixes of tracks that originally appeared on Focus On (PFR 033CD/LP) -- supplied by some of the hottest producers from the underground. Uner's remix of Dexter's "Why So Serious" is a bomb. David Keno also works some magic on "Storm." Kollektiv Turmstrasse's remix of "Birds" continues their un-stoppable juggernaut of buzz, while Ian Pooley takes the original version of "Night Away (feat. Geraldine Roth)" and twists it into his own brand of taut, focused tech-house.

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 Berlin imprint's Focus On series very timely. Daniel Dexter aka Dex is one of the up-and-coming DJs and producers from Berlin. Over a couple of releases on labels like Mother, Off, Semester, and Poker Flat, Daniel managed to develop his own signature sound -- a deep, yet jacking shade of modern house with a touch of dark and soul. His latest single on Poker Flat ("Strom" and "No House for Old Men") gained him top positions in club charts across the globe. In the tradition of previous Focus On albums on Poker Flat, Dex's includes seven brand-new exclusive tracks, alongside some key releases and distinct high points of his sound.

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. "Storm" is a heavy, late-night tale of sax, e-piano and stomping synth basslines. The thick, percussive opening bars of "There Will Be Jazz" lead to more jazzy saxophone samples and synthesized strings.

After some success with his strong, futuristic productions on Exploited, Berlin-based producer Daniel Dexter 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.
