10 years ago an up and coming dj & producer named steve bug launched a label as an output for a very special new sound. having already masterminded the legendary raw elements label, and of course the strongas-ever dessous imprint, bug and a close family of djs and producers had a vision for something fresh and exciting that would define the times. and thus poker flat recordings was born…

mystical, oriental & long upbuilding raw house grooves incl. remix by matt john (perlon / bar25

nice price deal !!! wipe the needle consisting of swedish mikael nybom and london man lee gomez, have done a lot for themselves through the defected sublabel 4th floor and now with a full length album coming on soundmen on wax. but its their first raw fusion release which is truly the cr?e de la cr?e of house music! the release starts off with a high resolution gospel banger done with the help of swedish resident, via lusaka zambia, mr aaron phiri aka zulu gestapo (last of the gris gris) from the raw uncut concrete jungle hip hop duo hearin aid. his vocals break down the firmest of titanium walls when mashed up with the organs and jacked up kicks of this soon to be peak hour business.

new kanada enters the year of darkness with two cuts of techno that go straight for the throat. raw house music for mixers, jackers, and people of ill repute everywhere. side a features a slamming remix of murr’s “stay” track by adam marshall. murr’s original moog bassline gets jacked into a dj-friendly mix weapon of the highest calibre. 10+ minutes of erratic hats, swung snares and some weird noises that would do octave one proud. sibe b is a homage to our favourite analog mixer of days gone by - the numark dm1950. mood edit embraces the chaos of chicago house, and the class of new york city in this long playing dub tool that will be sure to evoke fear in the legs - and passion somewhere inbetween. complete with off kilter bassline, counterpoint bump, and a long deep mix for the heads.

first part of his debut longplayer ! support from raresh, robert dietz, arnaud le texier, d julz, julien chaptal, catz n dogz, tim xavier, mikael stavostrand, kreon, agnes... anthony collins is one of the safest pair of hands in house right now yet every release he puts out is both high quality and individual, as this new release on freak n chic proves. taken from collins debut long player, the impeccable (and much lauded) >doubts & shouts<, prism is collins at his hip swinging best. deep, yet powerful and driving, >prism< takes in elements of detroit techno, ny house and modern tech house and intertwines them.

stuart li aka basic soul unit is no unknown in the game, but hes new to our camp. after following his output for some time now, we finally could sign two tracks of his raw and edgy techno for philpot. >dank< is a growing piece of pure space funk! resonating basslines and banging drums collide with twisted arpeggios, fall apart and rise again… caused mayhem when tested out! >the stand< starts with some oldschool flavoured breaks to shuffle its way into bleepy heavens of acid-infected wildpitch craze! people, we must rise up from our graves! zeitlos, wie man bei uns sagt

franco cangelli is back on mowar with deep and spacy techno grooves. >locked on< goes in a stripped down techno alley with basic square grooves layered with a drifting sawtooth bass sound that gradually shows its teeth and gets you down there... estroe turns this groover into a deep workout, soul music for emotional cyborgs, with strings creating a melancholic detroitish feel. >create your own space< is a techno soul track where stabbing chords and lullaby pads make sweet love to square bass melodies and off-beat rhythms. it s a deep groover in the strictest sense. glasgow s solab from seventh sign give the track a more uplifting feel retaining the original s deepness but adding an element of raw dancefloor friendliness. mowar stands for quality deep techno and this third release delivers you just that

gogo music starts the year with another dope and deep release. continuing the liaison with south africa and katsaitis music we present blackcoffee feat. bucie and their title ‘,turn me on’,. blackcoffee is one of south africa s most respected house music artists and no stranger to gogo music as he belongs to the group shana, which already stormed the charts with our last release ‘,uyangichomela’,. as a dj blackcoffee played in all south african top clubs and scooped a sama award (south african dance music award) for best dance album in 2006. to date his fame is by far not bordered to south africa anymore, as he was for example chosen in 2006 and in 2007 to represent south africa at the red bull academy in barcelona, played numerous gigs in europe and released on real tone records.

the cologne based grossprojekt arose in 2006 from the rather coincidental neigbourship and clubbing friendship between techno dj and live act bastian bue?r and breakbeat producer alex cwicek. the year 2008 marks the end of their deliberate reluctance: their debut release on debox combines the different roots of the two artists to a new creative entity, resulting in an amazingly effective piece of techno in querschlaeger. raumkruemmung on the flipside works a bit like its own, streamlined transmission onto a straight bassdrum monotonous, raw and uncompromising.

dj support by dj hell, luciano, troy pierce, davide squillace (dc10, ibiza) and many more... name+relucto first gathered praise as remixers for the aforementioned fool with their demented re rub of drama earlier this year. their debut is a four track vinyl and digital release. longblackcurlyteeth’ is a dark and deadly slice of techno which germinates from stripped sleeparchive style minimalism into a gloopy acid evolution that plunges and skews itself into the sinister depths of foreboding, resonant evil. blueballs picks up the tempo and undulates along a jacking groove of raw metallic, mashed up alien calypso funk. title track spawnofspoon is a demonic mongrel of future styles. this scuzzy hip hop homage is riddled with shredded vocals and mutant bass modulations which explode into a post rave, acid armageddon. alex cotex is in devastating form with his hypnotic rework of lbct, the result is a mesmerising, relentless beast that reverberates a pulsing throb underpinned by a fizzing 303 bassline
