Alex Niggeman

Alex Niggemann returns to the scene of so many fierce releases with his latest weapons-grade stormer. The Berliner pulls out all the stops on this release – Tangram (The Bright End) is a burner that slowly builds and builds, maintaining just the right amount of tension and release. 

Eventually, out of the precise interplay of elements, explodes a huge euphoric melody that will surely take the roof of many a club in the months to come. 

The Dark End version is another beast entirely, switching the vibe to something a little malevolent- a techier workout that maintains the essential core of the original but provides a little extra drive to the groove - tough, body-moving Tech House for the heads. 

Maze also showcases the class we have come to expect form Poker Flat. Diamond hard beats, unhinged synths and an evolving groove are classic Niggemann traits, resulting in a deeply assured track that will see as much club play as the other two bombs on this releases.

Hailing from Tel Aviv Nir Shoshani has over 14 years of experience producing and performing live worldwide. As the A&R of Punch Music, Nir has overseen a plethora of high quality releases and his own work is no exception. Delivering a layered and deeply hypnotic sound that has come to be expected from his overarching body of work.
 
Ajami kicks the EP off with a slow release of frenzied hi-hats playing the loosely-lower pitched vocals against the infectious synth and bass-lines stirring the groove to guarantee a satisfied crowd. Next up we have the Simon Garcia remix. Simon has previously had releases on Poker Flat, Pets Recordings, Supplement Facts & many more. Using the building blocks of the original Simon manages to deliver a remix that bounces off the corners of deep house resulting in what sounds like the sugar to the original’s salt. The remix serves as a perfect introduction to his much anticipated debut album 'The Placebo Overdose' on Poker Flat.
 
Ending the release with “A Good Habit” an edit by Aeon label boss Alex Niggemann himself. Niggemann provides the mix with all of the staples of the producer’s signature sound that spans across the genres of techno, minimal to tech and deep house, all whilst effortlessly retaining the hybrid energy of the original.
 
“Ajami” is out December 2nd and it’s not one to be missed.

Popping up on labels like 8Bit, Supernature and Tsuba, releasing quality tech-house and club-assured cuts since 2008, we‘re delighted to welcome German producer Alex Niggemann to Poker Flat. This new EP raises Niggemann‘s game with three tracks taking in heavy acid bass, chicago-house vibes and inventive, smooth flowing arrangements.

‚Lately‘ is a real stomper in the classic Poker Flat tradition. Haunting, acidic, modern, club guaranteed! Niggemann twists a spooky and funky synth line around a heavy old-school house vibe, complete with a thoughtful smokey-voiced naration. 

‚Madness‘ lifts the tension higher with a sub-heavy chigaco bass attack, 2011 style. Alex has fused the best of both old and new and found a new sound that leaves behind rigid sound in favour of more funky, warmer and totally fresh vibes!

The EP concludes with ‚Smash Your Face‘, a groovy houser that rolls wonderfully with more growling square wave bass and plenty of details to keep the flow nothing short of riveting!

Poker Flat Recordings welcomes back the ever-prolific Alex Niggemann for another speaker-troubling dispatch. This time out, the Aoen and Soulfooled boss drops a hea- vy–duty release that more than lives up to his usual high standards.
'Materium' is epic in every sense of the word- a sprawling, tough journey into analog tech- no – with a dash of house thrown in. It rips through the speakers – the crisp and aggres- sive production provides the space for grow- ling synths and atmospheric, tense pads. What’s more, the whole track audaciously dissolves into silence mid way through – be- fore exploding back into life via a descending analog synth line.

Alex Niggemann - Materium

Poker Flat Recordings welcomes back the ever-prolific Alex Niggemann for another speaker-troubling dispatch. This time out, the Aoen and Soulfooled boss drops a heavy-duty release that more than lives up to his usual high standards. 

'Materium' is epic in every sense of the word- a sprawling, tough journey into analog techno – with a dash of house thrown in. It rips through the speakers - the crisp and aggressive production provides the space for growling synths and atmospheric, tense pads. What’s more, the whole track audaciously dissolves into silence mid way through - before exploding back into life via a descending analog synth line. 

'Primary' is no less dramatic, but opts for a dubbier vibe as it builds and releases the ever-present tension. It’s hard, moody, electronic funk for after-hours basements and warehouses. 

Digital customers will also be able to pick up 'Bee' - which leans more to the house side of the fence with a playful, highly infectious groove and enough propulsion to move even the most tired of dance-floors.
