2013 has been another great year for Poker Flat Recordings. The imprint continued to carry out its mission - an unwavering dedication to the finest underground house music worldwide.

The unintentional focus on Berlin talent in 2013 is well represented on this essential compilation with Alex Niggemann's double contribution: the exceptional 'Tangram (The Bright End)' and Andre Lodemann's version of 'Lovers feat John Rydell', Martin Landsky's raw 'ET2', and Daniel Dexter's 'Birds' (remixed by Kollektiv Turmstrasse) as well of Uner's remix of 'Why So Serious'. 

Other undisputed highlights from the year include the return of the Foremost Poets - with remixes from both Dixon and label boss Steve Bug remixing 'Reasons to be Dismal' and 'No Adjustments' re- spectively. Throw in Wouter de Moor and Johannes Brecht, who have both seriously delivered over the year and we can easily say that going 15 years strong, each year seems to bring quality for DJs and electronic music-lovers alike.

11. Manu (NL) - Hands on deck [PURRFECTION]

Debut minimal tech house track from "Grinder". Late night / dark room vibes.

Midnight Drifter

A decade on from his debut release, one of Romania's finest cultural exports returns to his favourite stomping ground with a trans- mission that showcases variety, technical skill and an intimate understanding of the dynamics of the floor.

The stripped-down, moody menace of 'The Swindle' kicks things off, dancing semi- quavers panning left and right, a mysterious male voice incanting. A bass synth motif carries the tune to a climax before its buoyant, trancey conclusion. At all times, elements unfold organically, carrying the listener away.

'Rotate' casts a busier, jacking vibe, its analogue synth cycles pinging against each other. Glimmering layers of sound create an endlessly immersive, deadly deep groove.

'Feed Me' is slower, slinkier and rougher in equal measure. The sustained synths create a gliding sensation, the male vocal first mellifluous and sung then husky and spoken.

'Chance' is a shuffling, fizzing deep house groove, precision-tooled for the dance- floor. "Let it take control" urges a male voice. Sound advice for this deliciously hypnotic groove.

INFO:
An old friend returns to Pets. Three years after his ‘Polyphonic’ EP, Catz ‘n Dogz bring the legend that is Mathias Kaden back on the label and the results speak for themselves…
Following his recent barnstormers on Avotre and Rekids, both ‘Square’ and ‘Distant Horizon’ deliver in that unhurried, cosmic journey-like way Kaden has made his signature over the years: gentle layering, subtle moment, palpable atmospheres but the drive and underbelly of a bulldozer. 
‘Square’ kicks off the show with an eight-minute adventure into deep, warm undulating acid. Heavy subs, fluid drums and a persistent spoken vocal texture, this one wraps you up like a cloak. ‘Distant Horizon’, meanwhile, whips that cloak off so quickly it will send you spinning deeper and deeper into the celestial rabbit hole. A 10-minute Mathias epic, it warms up with a progressive rolling feel for a good few minutes before we’re suddenly derailed into a trippy, hazy brew of weird bass bubbles and some rather outlandish spoken word. Poetry in high grade technoid motion. 
And the motion doesn’t stop there… Ever ones to get involved, Catz ‘n Dogz get their paws on ‘Distant Horizon’ and give it their own gritty, grainy, trippy twist. Two parts tribal, one part bass, all parts peak time, this doesn’t just stare out at the horizon but flies you right over it. 
Two beautiful originals, one killer remix. Be there or be ‘Square’…

Exclusive: Damiano von Erckert  - Let's Hide Away

Infamous nightlife institution Robert Johnson firstly opened its doors 21 years ago, shortly after establishing itself as one of the leading clubs in the Rhein-Main area, in Germany and in the world. Driven and run by music enthusiasts and passionate people the club in Offenbach defies several crisises, movements or trends as at some point in (electronic) music history the club and its connected label became a trend itself – one that has been enduring for almost as long as its own existance. Within but not because the current chapter of world history Live At Robert Johnson releases the fourth edition of its Lifesaver-series, including 21 tracks from artists that have made people dance on the wooden floor of the legendary night club over the course of the years, dedicated to one that passed away too early, Andrew Weatherall – to many a person to look up to, to many a musical inspiration, to many at Robert Johnson a friend and exceptional artist. And picking up on the word exceptional close followers of Robert Johnson will connect it with AVA label head Damiano von Erckert, who's taken the club's crowd by storm with his (deep) House approach that partly implements vocal snippets, samples or elements of Soul, R&B, Funk or Disco combining it with intriguing chords and pulsating bass lines. His contribution, Let's Hide Away, to the Lifesaver compilation, his first release of an own track on a different label than his own in nearly 10 years, musically takes up the aforementioned resulting in an endlessly groovey House(m) anthem that sags the (wooden) floor at Robert Johnson and makes it a hideaway for people within its seven minutes.

Lifesaver Compilation 4 - 21 Dedicated to Andrew Weatherall will be released on Live At Robert Johnson on October 9th, 2020.
