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

slipping sliding bleeping chirping…the donk boys are well know for their innovative, freaky beats. the swedish duo have appeared on a multitude of great labels like frankie, floppy funk, trapez and kreatur. it was only a matter of time before they ran into the crew at dirtybird in san francisco. these three prime cuts are a little jazzy, a little odd, a little caveman, and a lot of fun. they fit in with jackin house and minimal techno just the same and will all be ass-wiggling party starters for sure.

how many of todayÆs producers have been releasing music for 13 years? not many. how many will still be recording 13 years from now? hard to say. what can be said without doubt however is that donnacha costello is in this for the long haul. since 1996 he has released dozens of 12&#8243,,,s and made significant contributions to electronic music from 2001Æs classic ambient album together is the new alone to 2004Æs universally acclaimed colorseries to 2006Æs rigorously conceptual 6x6=36 amongst others. shedding the skin of his ten year old minimise label, costello emerges from its semantic stranglehold to bring us his new label and platform look long. from this first release it is clear that costello aims to produce work of lasting quality and beauty with little regard for what a turbulent marketplace might expect of him. complexity and simplicity are addressed in equal measure here and with some surprise we find traces of eric satie, chet baker, pat metheny and steve reich. perhaps unsurprisingly we also find the unmistakable traces of grace and emotion that have become costelloÆs trademarks

again four tracks that will surely make you swing. our favorite has always been my brother, a peak time disco jazz cut, which has made the disco floors erupt on many occasions. the original version of my father continues along those lines. off ramp and worldless narrative both are cool boogie tracks, which make up for another winner from nebraska. for fans of rick wade, theo parrish, trus me et al.

phantasma one is the first 12?,, of our second compilation, featuring”clapper” by tobias. and efdemin s “hope”. we are astonished and thrilled this split ep doesn t even sound like one but is of beautiful consistence and adequacy. “clapper” hypnotizes from the first second with a straight forward percussion rhythm which curls inescapable upwards even in the mind of an inattentive listener, pushing ahead with classic machine drums driven with a both glaring and harsh attitude. the crystal surface of efdemin s “hope” is woven into a plait of swelling basses and enriched with extensive spins of snare rolls and precious carpets of highlighted chords which seems to rise out of the drums which carry the whole track with slick efficiency. without a doubt this vinyl will be in every record case for a long time. grab your copy as long as there are some.
