Christian Löffler & Parra for Cuva

In the organizer's words:

Christian Löffler is a German musician and producer who has shaped the electronic music scene with his unique style. His music combines elements of ambient, techno and house in a special way, always creating a deep atmosphere.

Born in Greifswald, he grew up near the Baltic Sea - an environment that has strongly influenced his sound. Nature plays a central role in his music: his pieces often capture the tranquillity, vastness and melancholy of the landscape and translate it into emotional, dense soundscapes.

Löffler discovered his passion for music as a teenager. He initially played guitar and drums, but it was only with electronic music that he found his true form of expression. Inspired by artists such as Paul Kalkbrenner, he began to produce his own tracks. In the early 2010s, he released his first works, with which he quickly attracted attention.

In addition to his studio recordings, he is known for his intense live performances. Whether at international festivals or in renowned clubs, his performances are captivating experiences that take the audience on a journey through sound and emotion.

Löffler is also active as a producer and remixer. He has collaborated with various artists and gives existing tracks a new, often melancholic touch with his remixes. In doing so, he takes care to preserve the character of the original, while at the same time giving it his very own signature.

Another important project is his label Ki Records, which he co-founded. Here he offers not only himself, but also other artists a platform for creative, independent music. The label stands for innovation, artistic freedom and a special aesthetic - values that also characterize Löffler's own music.

In 2021, he released Parallels, an extraordinary album in collaboration with Deutsche Grammophon. In it, he combined classical works by Beethoven, Chopin and other composers with his electronic style, demonstrating how harmoniously classical and modern music can flow into one another.

In the years that followed, he continued to develop his sound, discovering new worlds of sound and bringing fresh impulses to his music. With his label, he supported up-and-coming artists and returned to the stage with new live shows. In 2024, he released his album A Life. The work stands for his tireless search for new sound dimensions and emotions - and once again confirms his status as one of the most influential artists on the electronic music scene.

The sonic identity of Parra for Cuva can be summarized in a single word: Wanderlust. Nicolas Janco, the artist behind the pseudonym, was born in 1991 and was fascinated by sound from a young age.

Known for a distinct sense of worldliness, his music, combined with breathtaking imagery, creates a magical realm where the sound of Caribbean steel drums can mingle with ancient Zimbabwean instruments. Parra for Cuva transport the listener to distant lands.

With top-charting singles and two acclaimed albums, "Majouré" and "Darwîś", Parra for Cuva's breakthrough came with the release of "Paspatou". Not afraid to combine dancefloor experiments with acoustic and ethnic soundscapes, his fourth studio album, "Juno", included collaborations with musicians from all over the world. Parra for Cuva has performed at prestigious festivals and sold-out stages around the world, including Burning Man and Sziget. His album "Mimose", released in 2024, is another captivating sonic journey.
