steve bug drops a new outstanding 12inch on his own highly prolific poker flat recordings. those grooves is the perfect primer for his upcoming album (due out in autumn 2012), and sees the man in fine form - masterfully in control of his sound and producing tracks with a depth of dancefloor knowledge most other producers would die for. those grooves, the lead track locks into its exquisitely crafted groove early on, holding a taut balance between its individual elements. mid way through its 10 minutes, bug drops the tempo and lets the groove breath, before bringing it all back home - an audacious late night club weapon. the flip side is no less dramatic – tell me why creeps up, evolving slowing but surely – before an edgy, freaked out bass line drops over the crisp drums. a true peak time burner with enough energy and tension to smash any floor.

to accompany the >best kept secrets 3< double cd, these 8 new exclusive tracks will also be released on proper double vinyl!

one of the stand out moments and most in demand club tracks from the simon baker >traces< album returns in remixed form, alongside the vinyl edit of simons original. its taken us a while to get pokerflat head honcho and all round german house music legend steve bug on board for a remix, but its worth the wait as he delivers a lesson in refined, deep house music. next up burnski and robert james deliver a mammoth, hypnotic jam that twists and turns for 10 minutes and still leaves you wanting more.

the berlin-based partnership of long-time friends steve bug and clé has reared many a classy deep house tune in its time… their classic silicon ballet ep from 2007 led us heavily into their sound, combining melodic, blissful elements with the heavy vibes of the old-school acid days. now were due another full ep with seven hills. the title track is a refined, long-playing stormer - perfect for the coming months as the summer weather stirs up open-air fever! from humble beginnings a riotous, epic track grows fusing the poker flat boys patented analog production and natural ear for a melody. heartfelt strings draw the track to its finale as a teasing breakdown arrives around the 6 minute mark. this is a real slow-burner in the best sense of the phrase. the more urgent monkeyshoulder drives a deep blazing night-time vibe all the way home. smooth, filtering chords and spacey stabs swirl in a magical futuristic-yet-classic house jam. simply deadly in the right moment, this bright and dynamic production really does justice to the pairs talents

part 2 vom hive club geburtstagsalbum. mit tracks steve bug, kellerkind, azuni und christian burkhardt.

a key member of the diynamic family since 2006, hamburg producer h.o.s.h. has revelled, not only in the success of the label, but also in the ever increasing waves of support for his own work. the back end of 2010 saw the release of his debut artist album >connecting the dots<. the ten track collection of dance floor cuts found critical acclaim from djs and press alike, with many featuring in a variety of charts since. as we enter spring and our landscape changes, it signals the perfect moment to present the first remix ep of the album. tasked with reworking the tracks are 8bit and katchul boss gorge, who breathes new life into the beautiful vocal number, >finally mine<. and poker flat chief steve bug, who leads us through a wonderfully deep, hammond masterclass. let the music speak

poker flat continues to roar ahead into 2011 with a seriously jam-packed new compilation on cd and vinyl, featuring only brand new and exclusive tracks entitled >forward to the past<. according to label boss steve bug it renders homage to the period between >85 and 92<, traversing the heady sounds of chicago house, acid, new york house and early detroit techno. this exclusive 2 track single, taken from the compilation features steve bug and martin landskys supreme tracks in a celebration that >jack is back<! opening the selection steve bug puts on his jackin shoes in >jack is back< - a classic chicago jack-a-thon in the purest form. tight analog drums and synths work up a storm just like bug would have done back in the days. fellow front disc-jockey martin landsky provides a sumptuous deep house vision with >v2u<. the man is always on form and this doesnt disappoint, fusing old-school drums and basslines with a modern head for the floor

happy birthday hive club zurich! es gratulieren guido schneider, steve bug, christian burkhardt, oliver koletzki, kellerkind, pascal feos & frank leicher, einzelkind, benja & reto ardour sowie azuni

its been a while for mr lovebirds and also the label teardrop to serve some fresh slices of homemade house jam. well, we think it better not to put out every bonus beat we program and rather wait until we have something that really deserves to be thrown in todays pool of musical randomness. do we sound bitter again? sorry, for that … must be the age. so … love & happiness. yeah, i want that and probably everybody does … well here ya go: its a slick slow house bomb with proper oldskool 909 drums and some sliding portamento chords that wont never leave your head!! at least until the breakdown when this track takes you even further back in time to that beautiful intro that has rarely been used more beautifully. its been tested for months now by vincenzo, phonique and mr bird himself and devestated every floor so far. let me put it this way - this is biiiig!!!! flipside is the rain - classic 90ies deephouse with a touch of kerri which we all love right? this has the typical lovebirds warmth that we all need in these modern techno times. and in this autumn too. none other than mr steve bug took care of the remix and delivered a superb very 90ies new yorican style version. keeping the warmth he added some percussion to it and turned this into a nice builder. enough talk … we are very excited about this release and looking forward to your full love on this one. play it loud and everywhere!! and maybe even chart it if youre a good lad!!

steve bug finally returns to ovum after his 2004 breakthrough houze ep. hard to believe it has been 6 years, but during that time steve has cemented himself as one of the top dj/producers in the world. for the a side, steve brings us my sweet vital angel which is a rocking straight up house jam. great use of vocal sample here and one that will blow up any primetime set. this has been a secret weapon for wink all summer. the flipside as it was shows steve’s techier side. a perfect track for the likes of panorama bar or the womb in tokyo. once again steve shows how minimal can be maximal

huge remix package from steve bugs new album features donnacha costello, ribn, simon flower, motor city drum ensemble, sven tasnadi

for more than 15 years now, steve bug is known for influential track somewhere in between house, techno and minimalism. with his very good sense for the energy of self-limitation, bug has set standards when it comes to the funk of modern sound geometry, especially with his imprint poker flat recordings. milestones such as >loverboy<, >monsterbaze< or >wet n dry< are now essential elements of the history of electronic dance music. only a few weeks after the release of his fourth album collaboratory, bug even tops that one with this 12 inch on cocoon: while look whos stalking obviously refers to steves close relation to the raw energy of u.s. house in between chicago trax and detroit, using driving hand claps, percussions and nasty vocals, the flipside zero balance could pass as a vision of how far you can reduce techhouse to the essence of a bass line. also here, short vocal loops - besides the fast-moving elements - complete a sensibility that makes bugs tracks such high quality music for a very long time now.

poker flat owner and visionary dj & producer steve bug recently celebrated the 10th anniversary and 100th release for the label. continuing this buzz, and as always, confirming his rightful place at the top, steve is now gearing up to release his fourth full artist album. the >two of a kind< ep is a teaser of things to come as the long player drops in a few months time, and what a teaser it is…! once again joining forces with long-time compadre clé, of märtini brös fame, the pair whip up a deep storm, resulting in the solemn midnight swagger of month of sip. cool, metallic pads and trademark tight drums lay the groundwork for a momentous twisted synth line to wrap its way around the senses. full of tension, drama and stone-cold style, its a track that will define the nights - or indeed the mornings - dancefloor adventures. working solo on the b-side, and in-all-outclassic bug mode, steve builds perhaps his most drifting, euphoric vision of modern house music to date. beautiful, phasing synth stabs open this epic-vibed slow burner whose refined elements stay pure and true throughout. if youre searching for dynamic, addictive underground house music, full of history and yet remarkably modern, look no further
