Berlin-based DJ and producer Steffi returns with her second album Power of Anonymity on Ostgut Ton. "I wanted to start working on my new album without any personal or external expectations and I was seeking an emancipated, unshackled approach in the album's construction. I intended to include electro and IDM elements as these are my roots: it's the music that I first started DJing. After almost 20 years I got the feeling that I've come full circle, so I wanted to make an album that I, as a DJ, would like to carry in my record bag. My first LP -- Yours & Mine (OSTGUT 016CD/008LP) -- is very conceptual, it has a certain vibe that not only fits the club but also works on a stereo or in the car. Power of Anonymity is much more about how I see the dancefloor these days, and my aim was to take that vision into the studio. I asked myself what would happen if I could produce day after day without DJ gigs and travel interrupting my flow. These long stints in the studio allowed me to divide my time into three single blocks: initially I would only do jams and make sketches, followed by a phase for arranging and editing all recordings, and then a mixdown period for the album. Concentrating on creating Power of Anonymity has inspired me to carry on tapping deeper into my creative vein. I'm looking forward to the next time when I can step into the studio. Being focused is the key." --Steffi, Berlin, August 2014
