Christian Löffler is a renowned German musician and producer, widely celebrated for his distinctive blend of electronic music that seamlessly integrates ambient, techno, and house elements. Born in 1985 in Greifswald, Löffler grew up in a serene environment close to the Baltic Sea, an influence that profoundly shaped his musical aesthetic. His compositions often reflect a deep connection to nature and his surroundings, creating vibrant and evocative soundscapes. Löffler's journey into music began at a young age, initially through playing the guitar and drums. However, the discovery of electronic music production genuinely ignited his passion. He started producing music in his teenage years, drawing inspiration from Paul Kalkbrenner and other electronic artists. His unique sound quickly gained attention, leading to his first releases in the early 2010s.
His debut album, "A Forest," released in 2012, was a critical success, praised for its introspective mood and intricate sound design. The album encapsulated Löffler's signature style, combining melancholic melodies with minimalist beats, and established him as a significant figure in the electronic music scene. Löffler's subsequent albums, including "Mare" (2016) and "Graal (Prologue)" (2019), further solidified his reputation as a master of atmospheric electronic music. His work is characterised by a delicate balance between electronic and acoustic elements, often featuring his artwork, as Löffler is also an accomplished visual artist. Beyond his studio albums, Löffler is known for his captivating live performances. He often performs at renowned venues and festivals worldwide, showcasing his ability to create immersive musical experiences. His sets are renowned for their emotional depth and ability to connect profoundly with the audience.
Christian Löffler's contribution to the world of electronic music goes beyond his albums and performances. He co-founded the independent record label Ki Records, a platform for like-minded artists to showcase their music. The label reflects Löffler's ethos of creativity, innovation, and a deep respect for the artistic process.
2021 was a pivotal year for Löffler with the release of "Parallels," a significant addition to his discography. This album, released in collaboration with Deutsche Grammophon, showcased a reinterpretation of classic pieces by the composers such as Beethoven, Chopin, and other legendary composers, blending them with Löffler's unique electronic style. The album was a testament to his versatility as an artist and his ability to bridge classical and electronic music, offering a fresh perspective on both genres. In 2024, Christian Löffler continued to fortify his position in the world of electronic music by releasing his groundbreaking album, “A Life.” The album demonstrates his unwavering dedication to exploring new territories in sound and emotion, securing his place as a visionary artist in the evolving landscape of electronic music.
The latest work of Christian Löffler, “Until We Meet Again”, will be released in January 2026. The album reflects on fleeting encounters, lingering emotions, and the invisible threads that connect us. Written largely while on tour, its tracks began as intimate piano sketches before expanding through vintage Japanese synthesisers, with Swedish vocalist Adna lending her voice to the project. Staying true to his multidisciplinary practice, Löffler created all the album artwork in aquarel, each image entwined with the music, forming a 360-degree experience where sight and sound meet, converse, and illuminate one another. To mark the release, Löffler will embark on an international tour, joined by a full band – Adna (vocals/guitar), Johanna Burnheart (violin), Sloane Monroe (viola), Midori Jaeger (cello), and Elsas (piano) – bringing the promise of its title to life: until we meet again.

Important Information
Christian Löffler
Lys, Christian Löffler’s newest album, serves as a sequel and contrast to Graal, its predecessor. Whereas the latter is the result of a six-month period spent largely on the road in between live shows, the former is a studio release in the truest sense, recorded and compiled in the serenity of Löffler’s home studio. While produced within four walls, Lys’ grounding comes from what lies beyond them – Graal, Müritz. This isn’t the first time Löffler has drawn on his home surroundings for his art: the woodland refuge formed the basis for his 2012 album, A Forest. Lys, however, captures something even more funda- mental in nature: light. “I realised that the light is different in the north of Germany, and this became an overall theme for the album,” Löffler explains. “Before I had Mare, and Forest, and now it’s become light,” hence the album’s title, meaning “light” in Danish. What unifies these songs is the process behind them. Waking up early, Löffler would head for a run in the nearby woodlands before settling in his studio for 8am. He’d cast his mind back to the early morning and reflect on how the light had changed, marking the passing of time during the day – the passing of seasons in a year, and the constant change of everything there is. He’d observe how the light would trickle into his studio, in between the leaves from the trees just outside, casting shadows on his instruments and paintings, giving colour to his world. Inspired by the inherent beauty of this process, he found himself painting these patterns and then communicating his feelings in his music. Rather than capturing a specific moment in time or emotion, Lys is a selection of Löffler’s favorite productions from the past three years, compiled into one enchanting and deeply moving listening experience. The album’s sounds can be traced back to 2016, but they really began to take shape in the wake of a creative breakthrough in 2018. A trip to Scandinavia awakened Löffler from a period of creative stagnation and elucidated new visual and sonic paths to pursue. Graal reflected this intense initial energy, as ideas rushed in and took the form of sketches, and so the album’s tracks have a rough edge, symbolized by the monochromatic drawings that accompany them. Lys, in contrast, is clearer; it’s a fleshing-out and colouring in of those initial ideas, the transforming of sketches into paintings, and rough melodies into tracks. Integral in the process was Löffler’s painting of these earlier drawings, cementing a connection between his visual and musical work, and bridging the two albums. Whereas on previous album Löffler used his voice as a tool or instrument, heavily altered and unrecognizable most of the time, for Lys he puts them front and centre in order to capture his innermost feelings with actual words rather than only moods. The album also features the vocals of Menke, a young Swedish singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and Mohna, a staple on his recent tours. “She’s part of my musical world and so I wanted to have her on the album,” Löffler explains. A natural calmness and luminance pervades the album, even on the two club-ready tracks, Roth and Sun, sketches from Mare but reworked to fit Löffler’s vision. Versailles (Hold), and The End (feat. Josephine Philip), two of the three lead singles, capture optimism most strongly, as if spring has sprung. It’s as if a cycle has been completed for Löffler, an inspiring achievement for the artist who just a year ago found himself unable to produce. Even Noah, the record’s darker, heavier track, driven forward by Löffler own vocals, contains the maturity of a fully ripened idea. Along with Lys a final focus track, these singles came together to form the backbone of an album which shimmers with hope and optimism. Lys is coming out via Ki Records, Löffler’s own label, launched in 2009 as a platform for the music that inspires him.
