Review: Eighteen years after his breakout hit "Restore", Jim Rivers returns with "Calycanthus," a compelling track blending progressive and trance elements into a dance floor filler. Demonstrating his high caliber, Rivers enlists legendary Bushwacka! for a remix that intensifies the track with acidic bass and dynamic percussion. The release also features "Yucca", a polished mid-tempo groover with an irresistible beat and well-timed drops. Catalytic!

Review: Last summer Poker Flat founder Steve Bug spent a lot of time mentoring and training young producers, alongside fellow artists including vocalist Jade PraiZe. The resultant tracks, many of which featured PraiZe, were so good that he decided to establish a new series, 'Under One Roof' to showcase them - and other tracks from up-and-coming artists. Volume four boasts a trio of cuts, starting with Herve Solar's 'Fast To Slow', a hypnotic and logged-in slab of dark room tech-house full of echoing organ motifs, trippy acid lines and pulsating analogue bass. Void Logic_ opts for an even bigger, bolder and chunkier tech-house sound - teased towards hands-in-the-air territory via some colossal piano house riffs - on 'What Is What', before PraiZe adds her distinctive vocals to the deep, shuffling tech-house beauty of 'Déjà vu' by Aames.

Review: Bringing a classic trance and progressive house and flavourful sound back to Poker Flat t is one Dennis De Laat, with the vocals of Jade PraiZe to boot. "Figment Of My Mind" delivers something we could come to expect from the likes of Kaskade or Everything But The Girl, offering a deep and meaningful journey into crossover techno Tiefschwarz style. Beefing up the beats and bringing in some classic Poker Flat percussion in his remix is Hannes Beiger, doing away somewhat with the original vocal and opting for small snippets instead, while the bonus number "Night Rider" offers some bouncing chords and a springing click track for that extra minimal trance effect.

Review: Greta Levska, the Lithuanian-born, London-raised Ibiza resident, graces Poker Flat Records with her vibrant and eclectic approach to the dancefloor. "Don't Sweat The Flex" emerges as a standout, infusing electro vibes into a contemporary twist that skillfully blends timeless beats, old-school vocals, and entrancing synths with an undeniable allure. "Streets" follows suit, riding on an infectious breakbeat foundation embellished with a growling bassline and a fusion of cut-up hip-hop vocals and ethereal pads. Adding extra flex to the EP is Dachshund's remix of "Streets," transforming it into a high-octane dancefloor alternative that adopts a straight 4/4 feel, while ingeniously integrating sidechained pads, completing a three-track missive set to ignite the club.

Joyce Muniz feat Demetrius
Played by: Juno Recommends Minimal Tech
Review: "What's Your Name" first saw the light of day back in 2020. Now Poker Flat drops remixes of this simmering deep house track. The SWAH interpretation resounds to dystopian synths and insistent bleeps, with the track's breathy vocals wrapped into these moody elements. The Blu 9 version meanwhile is tougher and clubbier. Based on a spiky, metallic rhythm, tough drums and steely claps, it delivers a leaner, more direct vision of Muniz' composition. Esther Benoit's take is also streamlined for club use. It too features the original version's vocal - the only difference is that this time, it is wrapped around a driving groove and system-levelling tonal bleeps.

Review: German Steve Bug returns to his own label, Poker Flat Recordings, with his latest release. With recent outings on Aus Music, Rejected, and Knee Deep In Sound, it's been quite some time since we've been treated to a pure, unadulterated Steve Bug original on Poker Flat. This two-track release is a fantastic deep dive into Steve Bug's signature sound. Patient and meticulous, "Alto Adige" is a slow-burner that gradually builds up to a deeply satisfying crescendo in the break. "Trentino" is similarly-minded but with the addition of rising strings and a beautifully epic synth lead that adds even more drama to the mix.

Review: Dave Robertson is Reset Robot, the veteran Portsmouth-based DJ/producer who is no stranger to Steve Bug's Poker Flat. Following on from his Tired Voice EP, he returns to the label with a new three-tracker titled Duplicate, on which a perfect blend of crafty house music and slick tech vibes await. The title track provides emotive dancefloor drama with its epic bassline playing centre stage, followed by another glassy-eyed epic that ventures into the deep in the form of "Hyra" and ending with some moody afterhours tackle for those heads-down moments in the form of "Service".

Review: Following the First Contact release back in 2020, Cologne's Tim Engelhardt returns to Poker Flat Recordings with a new EP. In the meantime, the acclaimed producer/DJ appeared on many other esteemed labels like Stil Vor Talent and Watergate Records, showcasing his unique approach to deep tech house. "Follow" is a fine example of such; an emotive composition with slight hints of jazz and electro making their way into its smooth, four-to-the-floor formula. Second offering "Burning" is more straight-ahead but takes a darker turn, led by its infectious melodic bassline and hypnotic atmosphere.

Review: The return of Reset Robot this week with a release on the esteemed Poker Flat Recordings. The alter ego of British producer, engineer and DJ Dave Robertson, the Portsmouth-based artist follows up some terrific material on Drumcode, Mobilee, Hotflush and his own Whistleblower Records with this killer three-tracker. The smooth tech house bounce of "Tired Voice" is less austere than Robertson's usual main room bangers. Likewise, the glassy-eyed and bittersweet deepness of "Meig" follows in suit, until "Jinx" signals a return to form on this slinky and hypnotic melodic techno workout that's aimed squarely peak time dancefloor.

Review: Next up on Steve Bug's Poker Flat is Swiss minimal veteran Dachshund. Many will remember his prolific output in the mid-to-late noughties in addition to running the Clapper imprint, while these days you can hear him collaborating with fellow Genevans like Chaton and Quenum on Sol Selectas and Crosstown Rebels, respectfully. This one is titled "Division"; a serving of hypnotic dub house cyclicality in the vein of Basic Channel, complimented by additional offerings such as "Corruption" - a groovy minimal funk tool that harks back to the output of his earlier days - and the deep rolling tech house of "Only" that's perfectly geared for main room warm-up action.

Review: A Poker Flat compilation to rule them all? 20 Years Of Poker Flat (Remixes) is a contender to say the least. With a bunch of sleeper hits by Steve Bug, Trentemoller, Argy and John Tejeda getting remix treatments from producers like Quarion, Butch, Guti and Acid Pauli - to name a few - Mihai Popoviciu's remix kicks off a tip with his sultry deep house makeover of "A Night Like This". Taking it back to 2007 is Greg Gow bringing a tougher sound to the fore once again in his remix to "Seven Hills", while delving deeper into the history books even more is Acid Pauli's 303 techno remake of Steve Bug's "Lover Boy" - and killer Queen sample - from 1999. From the same era is Mathias Kaden's 'Biox Ultra' remix of Martini Bros "Babyhaze" and Trentemoller's legendary "Moan" makes the cut of course in a reserved, tension-filled Tim Engelhardt version. Poker Flat at full tilt.

Review: With the ongoing celebrations of Steve Bug's esteemed Poker Flat recordings, we have a series of fine remixes from the label's extensive back catalogue. "A Night Like This" is revised as a serving of sensual late night mood music by Romanian scene hero Mihai Popoviciu, Leipzig veteran Sven Tasnadi takes Bug's anthem "Loverboy" into a dubby afterhours minimal techno style and the rework of "FR 101.2" by Lele Sacchi brings the track into melodic deep house territory.

Review: Respected mix engineer, live act and producer Hannes Bieger returns to Poker Flat to follow up 2019's "Chemistry", bringing two stunning new tracks to the surface on The Heart EP. The title track features the unmistakable vocals of Philadelphia-based poet, activist and vocalist Ursula Rucker. Her powerful words at the forefront, supported by a deep and mesmerising arrangement that makes for perfect mood music. Second offering "Santorin" sees Bieger inject more dancefloor dynamics into proceedings on this hypnotic tech house groove. This one is just perfect for those heads down moments in the club on Sunday morning.

Review: It's a fact that Poker Flat is without doubt the hardest working label in the business. Going full steam ahead into 2021, their next release comes from label chief Steve Bug, who teams up with industry veteran (and fellow Berliner) Cle on "Gentle Push". The duo have worked together countless times, both being veterans of the German rave scene going far back to its early days, yet their output remains as fresh as ever. Those early influences are abundant on the track, with its epic Reese bassline roaring throughout its pumping and ecstatic groove, with a strong nod to The Motor City sound. This is followed by the slinky and hypnotic afterhours vibes of "A Pinch Of Space", awash in deep and glacial dub techno aesthetics.

Review: American techno legend John Tejada released the Big City Music EP back in 2006, where "Asanebo" appeared as a B-side track. It has since become a favourite to underground heads over the years, and as a part of Poker Flat's 20 year celebrations, the Hamburg label taps Retreat main man Quarion for a properly low slung and dubby rework. This fine rendition makes perfect tackle for the afterhours, while complimenting the slinky and hypnotic qualities of the original version, which appears for your pleasure also.

Review: Many would regard Anders Trentemoller's 2006 track "Moan" as a true dancefloor classic that will go down in the annals of electronic music history. Alongside Radio Slave's awe-inspiring rework from the same year, the ascendant Tim Englehardt now presents another terrific rendition of the track, 15 years later, as part of the label's 20 year celebrations. A credit to the art of the remix, Poker Flat taps Englehardt to reshape it for modern day dancefloors while not deviating too much from the original, emphasising its sensual and evocative sonic qualities furthermore beneath Ane Trolle's gorgeous vocal.

Review: Berlin's Eva Be has been a staple of the city's underground club culture, going all the way back to the '90s. A highly talented producer and DJ, she returns to Poker Flat to demonstrate her skillful mastery of house music. Her new BElight EP (see what she did there?) features the UK speed garage influence of "Delight" with its swung beats and roaring sub bass. Speaking of the latter element, "Pills" brings on a massive Reese bassline which is central to this powerful expression in Detroit influenced dancefloor drama, while the hypnotic dub of "Breathe" is perfect tackle for the afterhours. A solid effort.

Review: Legendary German imprint Poker Flat continues into 2021 with the latest in their B Sides compilation series. As it says on the tin, Chapter Six presents the best of their back catalogue between releases numbered 126 to 150 - which were around 2012 - 2013. Starting off with label boss Steve Bug's 'Tell Me Why" taken from his album Noir, Alex Niggemann's expressive piece of mood music entitled 'Tangram" (The Deep End) from back in 2013, the sexy late night shuffle of Mihai Popoviciu's "Here", Carlos Sanchez getting deep down and dirty on the afterhours bounce of "Conclution", Hamburg heroes Kollektiv Turmstrasse lending a typically emotive and bittersweet vibe to their rework of Daniel Dexter's "Birds" and who could forget the low slung swagger of "Facebook" by Diynamic chief HOSH.

Review: The Poker Flat filter sifts through its immense catalogue to pull up a fresh new 'best of' chapter. Tracks come Boris Dlugosch, Marco Resmann and Steve Bug to Vince Watson, TJ Kong and Alex Niggemann all deliver the goods, be burning italo basslines, techier dub techno and 80s synth to percussive melodies and other minimal actions. Simon Garcia goes deeper into tripper arpeggio mode with "Cavern" while the words of Theo Parrish feature in the Juno-106 house sounds of "Lectures". Get some extended minimal players from Mihai Popoviciu in "Call Me", with Detroit and Chichagoan sounds further permeating the compilation in "My Side". Dope.

Review: Industry veteran Steve 'Bug' Bruegesch has been more productive than ever in recent years. The Poker Flat chief returns to his beloved imprint for his eighth full length, which was produced during months of enforced isolation during 2020's coronavirus pandemic. As Bruegesch obviously didn't have to tour during this time, he could instead focus completely on producing without having the dancefloor as a constant influence. With that in mind, there certainly is a wide variety of moods and grooves explored on Never Ending Winding Roads: from the slinky and hypnotic minimalism of "Ludic Loops", to the sci-fi electro beats of "A Conscious Machine", the sensual and dub-laden mood music of "The Awakening" (calling to mind the sound of his sister imprint Dessous) or the knackered downbeat experience of "Raindance 101" - contemplation and reflection is more evident in his work than ever here.

Review: Poker Flat Recordings are back with another collaboration between label boss Steve Bug and industry veteran Cle (Martini Bros), with the addition of the legendary Robert Owens who brings his deeply soulful voice to the track "Not In Vain". The Windy City icon's unmistakeable, smooth- as-silk vocals will captivate you, against a perfect backdrop of slinky and hypnotic dub techno. The dub version does not omit the vocals, rather the mesmerising chords of the original to create a sensual and emotive deep house number - which is perfect mood music for the warm-up or afterhours alike.

Review: There is no doubt that Steve Bug is one of house and techno's most respected artists, and the second volume of this compilation demonstrates why he is such an essential part of the underground. It contains Bug standards like the seductive melodies of "Chordwalk Empire" and the deeper than deep house of "Different in Detroit", which sit alongside more tripped out tracks like the 303-soaked, moody bass of "Tweaky Blinders" and the low-slung jacking house of his Traffic Signs project, represented here with the vocal-led "Cookie Jar". It's a fitting tribute to one of electronic music's most talented producers.
