Press Info:
Local Suicide are a Berlin love story. Having met across a set of turntables, DJs, producers and dancefloor all-rounders Brax Moody and Vamparela have connected as a German and Greek soundclash since 2007, and ‘We Can Go Everywhere’ rubberstamps their partnership on what is their debut EP.

The onetime members of the short-lived ‘Local Suzie’ band project have gone on to dominate Berlin’s live spots, a grounding that has since seen them filling their passports from New York to Tunesia, Tel Aviv, Istanbul and Barcelona as well becoming event organisers and attractions both home and abroad wherever there’s a set of decks. Multi-taskers coming with divergent interests in hip-hop, electroclash and most things in between, and with an intimate knowledge of their respective regional movements AND the pair also running a respected music blog, Local Suicide are not usually found without their hands to the pump.

‘We Can Go Everywhere’, chanting into a Balearic underworld , is in the classic mode of synth-pop, disco-house and indie dance brought back from the future and into a past discotheque philosophy. Just when you think it’s about to bust out a set of 80s sized shoulder pads, and those synth injections scream out from a bygone era of bigger being better (admittedly the same can be said for the drop-down bass), the pair roll out the beats with a caution turning the vibe into something best served come witching hour. Sprinkling the glitz and glamour with grit and candour and a touch of Gallic groove sensibility, paves the way for three remixes to follow suit. The future-retro scale is further determined when you have the expertise of In Flagranti to truly quantize the boogie, looping the chorus just behind a mix of digital distress signals and road trip guitars until it becomes something near an incantation of Bananarama. Alex Gloor and Sasha Crnobrnja complete two halves of basement seriousness and a hop down a yellow brick road, giving off sharp catwalk glances before breaking out the worm in the name of Factory funk.

Inigo Vontier trains tracky, fractal-examining synths for a deep tech-disco hustle. Powered by low slung electrohouse blips that cram and gang up on the dancefloor so that it needs water cannon fire to disperse it, the Mexican simultaneously makes the original sound intensely alone and on the run, the vocal daring not speak its name until it rushes from the ground on the breakdown with a sense of release. The flashes of those kitsch-tipped synths again keep reminding you of the package’s Euro destination.

Tom Tom Disco’s Richard Rossa is another bringing sounds back and forward, putting spit and shine on mainframe sequences so a vintage glitterball can spin once more. With the ubiquitous synth shunts and bongo percussion not losing sight of the fact that there’s a still pop-ish party going on, the Scandinavian revels in the dust and debris that his machinery comes coloured in, coming up with a snippy slice of incessant analogue disco ensuring Local Suicide’s original revels in its retro roots to the last.

Press Info (English):
Just before the arrival of summer this year, Christian Löffler is set to release his next musical statement and autobiographical journey named “Young Alaska” on Ki Records. The German producer unveils his unique soundscapes by delivering seven tracks which are deeply rooted, once again, in harmony and emotion.

Löffler’s unique sound based on an intense melancholic feel brought him a busy touring schedule performing at clubs and festivals all over the world. He sticks to his calm approach to electronic music and proves, through his live-sets, that emotions control the dance floor, creating a real sense of euphoria.

His experiences on the road are reflected on “Young Alaska,” which is largely inspired by these journeys and places he has visited. From the peaceful landscapes of the title track to the melodramatic heights of “Mt. Grace,” he took “Notes” back home to transfer the impressions into his music. Songs like “Beirut“, “Veiled Grey” and “Alpine Sketch” are very diverse but come together harmoniously on this release.

As on his debut album, he once again collaborates with Danish vocalist Gry and Me Succeeds lead-singer Mohna on “All Comes” and “Beirut.” During the course of “Young Alaska”, Christian tells the story of his journey over the course of the past two years.

Press Info (German):
Alaska ist der größte und nördlichste Bundesstaat der USA, die größte Enklave der Erde – wegen dieser Lage wird Alaska auch „Last Frontier“ genannt. Und eben dort verortet sich zumindest dem Namen nach „Young Alaska“, die neue EP von Christian Löffler, die auf Ki erscheint.

Das passt, waren doch auch seine Vorgängerreleases namentlich wie inhaltlich eher in der avantgardistischen Abgeschiedenheit denn im Epizentrum elektronischer Feiereien beheimatet, ob jetzt am „Baltic Sea“ oder im „A Forest“ – von Löffler erwartet wohl auch niemand eine „Sun Of Ibiza“-Single.

Dennoch ist die EP, die mit ihren sieben Tracks anderenorts locker als ein Minialbum durchgehen würde, eine ganze Ecke extrovertierter gelungen, ohne dass dabei die Löfflersche Ur-Melancholie verloren ginge.

Deutlich spürt man hier die Tour-Erfahrungen, die der aus Greifswald stammende Produzent in den zwei Jahren nach Erscheinen seines Albumdebüts sammeln konnte – er hat nicht nur namhafte Clubs wie das Watergate bespielt, sondern Festivals rund um den Globus, wie das MELT! Festival in Gräfenhainichen oder das BPM Festival in Mexiko, mit den für ihn typischen Klanglandschaften überzogen und dabei mit seinen Live-Sets bewiesen, dass die leisen Klänge oft die größte Euphorie erzeugen.

All das spiegelt sich in der „Young Alaska“ EP wider, die von den Orten und Begegnungen seiner Reisen inspiriert wurde – von den friedlichen Landschaften des namensgebenden „Young Alaska“ über melodramatischen H hepunkten in „Mt. Grace“ machte er sich „Notes“, um seine Eindrücke zuhause in seinen Stücken zu verarbeiten.

Wie bei seiner nicht nur im Feuilleton gefeierten LP arbeitet Christian Löffler auch diesmal wieder mit der dänischen Sängerin Gry („All Comes“) und Me-Succeeds-Frontfrau Monha („Beirut“) zusammen – die Fühler in die Welt ausstreckend, mit den Füßen fest in einer Familie verankert. Dabei gelingt es Christian Löffler auf dieser EP, heterogene Stücke wie „Veiled Grey“ und „Alpine Sketch“ zu einer homogenen Geschichte zu verweben – so wie sich auch die Dunkelheit der Club-Gigs und Luftigkeit von Open-Air-Tanzereien in den letzten Jahren zu einer, seiner Geschichte verbunden haben.

Info:
Aidan, besides being a very detailed and well crafted dancefloor killer, started as a gloomy story in winter… It’s the story of transformations from darkness to light, from cold to warm, from schizophrenia to sanity. It’s this trip you will do next time you’ll take a plane and will hear a voice in your head whispering “you are free now”. Enjoy…
