Celebrating the 150th vinyl EP release, and as a prelude to 15 years of Poker Flat Recordings, Steve Bug returns to his own label to drop a sizzling three track EP of powerful, seductive house music.

Lead cut 'Pelican Glide' exhibits his trademark driving grooves and highly effective off-kilter synths - the sort of track that turns dance floors and festivals upside down when dropped at the right moment. The deep kick hits hard while clever interplay between pads, melodic leads and percussion keep the tension finely tuned.

Fellow Berliners youANDme yield a remix of 'Pelican Glide', which transforms the track into something spacey and cinematic, before subtly reintroducing Steve Bug's killer synth line.

Also gracing this release is 'Till It's Gone'; built around a tough-as-nails house groove, and coupled with a breathy, alluring vocal from Delhia De France: the grand diva of the German electronic scene.

Steve Bug & Cle - Together - Snippet

Following on from the well received Chord Cluster 12" from late 2017, the irresistible pairing of Steve Bug (@stevebug) and Langenberg (@langenberg) return with 'Paradise Sold' - a full ten track album of exquisitely crafted house music on Bug’s own Poker Flat Recordings.  (Out: 6th of April 2018)

Neither Steve Bug nor Langenberg needs much introduction due to the sizeable contributions both have made in building the European house and techno scene as we know it. Bug’s relentless commitment to quality - both in his own work and in the many producers he has championed - has made him one of electronic music's most revered artists and curators. 

Langenberg aka Max Heesen is the deep guru of the German Deep House Scene. One half of the duo Ribn, he has released on labels like Drumpoet, STHLM Audio, Strax Leaves, Ovum and most notably on Dessous who put out his debut solo LP released in late 2016. Put these two dons in a studio together, and the results are truly special. 

With „A Touch Of Detroit“ you can get a first insight, tipping the cap to the forefathers who went before, the track explores a harder-edged machine funk that echos the city’s pivotal role in electronic music. The pads are restrained, while the bass and rhythm track hit all the right emotional buttons.

Steve Bug & Langenberg: A Touch Of Detroit

'Rekindling their prolific and productive partnership, Poker Flat Recordings label boss Steve Bug teams up with Clemens Kahlcke aka Cle for another important release. 

The pair go way back, having being friends, DJ colleagues, co producers and label mates for over 20 years. Their latest release on Poker Flat, shows they have continued to bring out the best in each other. 'It’s Time', the title track, kicks off in fine style - a solid, urgent groove sets the tone, before sharp claps, a thick bass pulse and classic house stabs add the flavour. The pair clearly know how to work a floor.'

01 Steve Bug You Make Me Feel

Fresh on the trail of this year’s exceptional long player ‘Noir’, Steve Bug returns with perhaps his most deep house-oriented track in a while – ‘The Long Run’.

Teaming up with US house legend Mr. V, who inititally donated vocals only, the collaboration brought up Mr V‘s own interpretation of Bug‘s track. This release is as delicious a serving of classic New York deep house as you will hear all year – or any year.

Dessous’ main man is at the controls, riding out a sumptuous, Rhodes-driven groove that references golden era Kerri Chandler and friends, but remains completely rooted in 2012. Mr V’s spoken word vocal lays out the manifesto for these two house pioneers – both are committed to quality music, made with passion and respect.

Next stop on ‘The Long Run’ is Mr. V’s stunning take on the same track. Ratcheting up the percussive elements, the New York native injects hints of the Latin rhythms that define many of his productions, making this into a stone-cold club banger whatever the party.

Both tracks come with corresponding instrumental versions for the DJs, rounding out this irresistible release that continues Dessous’ outstanding run of releases this year.

German producers Steve Bug & Tim Engelhardt join forces for their next offering on LNOE! Two explorative, melodic techno productions laced with rich synths and bumping grooves.

‘Eyes of the Python’ combines a menacing, explorative bassline with spacious drums and atmospheric drops. A 4/4 kick drives the track along while the ever-evolving synths swell and breathe giving life to the track as it steadily progresses, layer by layer. ‘River of Oblivion’ sees the duo express themselves through a more spacious, syncopated bassline cast over sparkling percussion loops and a dynamic kick drum. This simplistic, effective composition will bring a breath of fresh air to your next set.

It’s always great news when Steve Bug and Langenberg get together in the studio - two legends who remain at the top of their game, locking into each other’s groove and delivering some of the most potent electronic music out there. 
Their latest excursion is a case in point. 'Emphasizer' is a mid-paced groover with thick, rounded kicks, sharp percussion and a rich, deep bass that keeps things rolling along. Sparking synths add the spacy melodic flourish. 
'Thierry Moogler' is a slightly more urgent affair that builds from a slowly evolving synth riff before unfolding into a glorious, chugging house groover with an epically worked drop.
