It’s been 18 years since Jim Rivers catapulted into the limelight with his hit debut single ‘Restore’,  going on to build an enviable career that has seen him play worldwide and grow an impressive catalogue of releases on numerous high profile labels.  

Calycanthus is another sure fire winner- an assured and atmospheric track that touches on progressive and trance styles, but ultimately remains a tough, dance floor filler that will work in a myriad of sets and circumstances.   

As a sign of the levels he’s working at, Rivers calls in a remix from the legend Bushwacka! to provide a new perspective on the track - amping up the acidic bass and firing percussion to create a new vibe out of the same elements. 

Last up is Yucca  - a slick and polished mid tempo groover that develops an irresistible groove supported by some judicious drops.

The London based DJ/producer of house and electronica previously had a release with Ursula Rucker on Mobilee in 2020, and here drops It’s Always Been There - deep, melodic and vibey from start to finish. 

The Berlin legend Cinthie brings a tough remix to the table, adding some powerful chords and a whole lot of energy.

New on Poker Flat, a four track release entitled New Moon, via the Bulgarian born Selderv (now living in Denmark), and several collaborators across the EP.    

The openining track Igray is a powerful tool for the dancefloor - slick programming and oceans of atmosphere make this a stand out track on an EP full of moments. 

Label boss Steve Bug takes a swing at it with his remix, and delivers yet another masterclass in remixing - accentuating elements from the original to create a new vibe. 

New Moon is a co-production with Yasen (Yasen Nedelchev, also from Bulgaria) and showcases a burgeoning partnership - the track is fully primed for maximum dancefloor euphoria.  

The remix comes from Kadosh  - the underground Tel Aviv native with a string of high profile releases and shows - who sprinkles his own magic on New moon to create a perfect counterpoint to the original.

Dutchman Dennis de Laat is a long-established dance music producer best known from his huge version of ‘Sound of Violence’.

Here he collaborates with singer songwriter Jade PraiZe on the Figments of My Mind release. 

The original ties together de Laat's amazing production prowess with PraiZe’s stunning vocal delivery to create a truly affecting track that will work as well on the dancefloor as for at home listening.  

Hannes Bieger  - veteran producer, and live performer compliments the original with his own take - bringing out the deeper elements of the original.   

Last up is Night Rider, where de Laat lets loose another bomb-grade dance floor tune showcasing his talent for building vibe and groove with simple elements.

Under One Roof Volume 1 marks the kick off to a new series of releases dedicated to new artists. 

Poker Flat head Steve Bug took part as a coach in the Mixmasters Retreat on Ibiza last year alongside veteran producer colleagues Huxley and Denney as well as singer & songwriter Jade PraiZe. 
The output of last years students was so exciting that most of the tracks have been signed for Under One Roof and the coaches Huxley, Denney and Steve Bug each contributed a remix.   
The project will continue also outside the Mixmasters retreat, but for now here is the first EP, showcasing the talents of Al Leahy and Yerik US. 

Al(ex) Leahy is a London based DJ and producer making waves in Ibiza and across Europe, and it’s not hard to see why. Shadow Rush is a slick, vibey track built from skittering house grooves and a buzzy rave bassline. 

Label regular Huxley flips the track into something more breaky, with tonnes of filtering and a bumping vibe. 

On the second track US-based Yerik US' Go Go also dials in on bass heavy house, producing a true basement bomb.

Volume 2 of the new Under One Roof series that features new talent on Poker Flat Recordings pairs together Thorsten Hammer feat. Jade PraiZe and Anton Mcmillan for a brace of sublime cuts that drive the genre in quite different directions.

Hammer’s World On Shoulders is the work of the DJ and producer from Germany's creative 'Rhein-Main-Area ́, and boasts exceptional vocals from the Amsterdam-based singer-songwriter Jade PraiZe. 

Lithuanian producer and DJ Anton Mcmillan also shares Casual Insanity, a trippy, grooving track with some unexpected twists.

The third Volume in the Under One Roof series comes courtesy of MXMA feat. Jade PraiZe and Salus. 

MXMA's Get Into It production is a rolling house tune that also enlists the prodigious talents of Amsterdam-based singer/songwriter Jade PraiZe, delivering another amazing vocal performance. 

Denney supplies a rework that brings out some of the techier elements, and primes it for even more dancefloor reaction. 

Salus, (Londoner Steven Vaughan) presents Do You Think About Me - perhaps an ultra contemporary twist on the classic Lil Louis “I Called U”, with a driving, edgy vibe.

Volume 4 of the Poker Flat series Under One Roof showcases three tracks from upcoming producers. 

Void Logic_ from Iceland shares What is What - a track that draws inspiration from Kerri Chandler’s House Is House and provides a pretty convincing response to the question posed by the vocals.  

The other two tracks on this release both feature singer/songwriter Jade PraiZe, who also appears on three of the other EPs in the series.  

Fast To Slow features the production work of Hervé Solar, a deep and sexy house groove with bubbling synths and chords as the bedrock for PraiZe’s exceptional vocals.  

Aames’ Deja Vu also provides the perfect springboard for PraiZe’s vocals, opting for a touch of 90’s dreamy electronica sounds while maintaining a firm commitment to the dancefloor.

The final installment of the Under One Roof series hands over the reins to T. Nguyen and Ross Gott.  

T. Nguyen enlists the vocal talents of Jade PraiZe with Prophetic Love, which mixes a breaky house vibe with samples and PraiZe’s vocals to masterful effect. 

Label head Steve Bug adds his take to the track with his Way Back Mix - a 808 heavy rework that further accentuates the rave influences of the original. 

Last up, Ross Gott’s Uptown Violets Are Blue closes out the EP and the series with a fine slice of underground, attitude-rich house.

New from @Pornbugs on Sublease is the M 9.12.4. EP - four tracks of tough and groovy deep house from the Bondage Music label heads. This is the second outing on Steven Bug’s Sublease, and the pair get the man himself to flip the title track here. 

The  original M 9.12.4. is a groove heavy, spacey piece of house music with a thick sub bass and trippy synths, while Steve Bug’s version takes it in a more techy direction. 

Additionally, No Denying is a rolling slow burner that grows and grows, while Oblivion completes the EP with more heads-down house full of atmosphere and intent.

Fideles is the joint moniker of Italian duo Daniele Aprile and Mario Roberti, who have carved out a niche for their distinctive brand of deep, techy house on noted labels such as Defected, Be As One, and Marco Resmann’s Upon You, among others.

Fideles is the joint moniker of Italian duo Daniele Aprile and Mario Roberti, who have carved out a niche for their distinctive brand of deep, techy house on noted labels such as Defected, Be As One, and Marco Resmann’s Upon You, among others.

Here on their first outing for Poker Flat Recordings, the duo cook up four courses of lean, focussed tech-house for Steve Bug’s seminal imprint.

'Detuned' starts the journey - an edgy, tense groove exhibiting the boy’s masterful sound design and use of space to create a thick, intoxicated atmosphere.

'I’m Rude' is more direct - a thumping bass drum introduces a low slung bass groove, slowly evolving and mutating into a true party-starter.

'Worthy' uses similar building blocks but delivers a different vibe altogether, revelling in a minimalist production aesthetic and cheeky bass riff.

'Ran Baran', the title track, is another lesson in great production - each element perfectly balanced to create an atmosphere of controlled mayhem - which is exactly the response this entire EP aims to instigate on dancefloors.

Poker Flat Recordings deliver another killer collaboration, this time between Berlin’s youANDme and The Analog Roland Orchestra. The result is Reflection - an EP containing more than its fair share of pure dancefloor moments. 

The Analog Roland Orchestra is Michal Matlak, the Berliner whose intimate knowledge of dance music’s most iconic machines has made him a much-in-demand producer and remixer. Teaming up with party starters youANDme as well as vocalist Black Soda, the title track of this release explores deep vibrations, merging 303 basslines, crisp 909 programming and a highly effective vocal.

The Hyenah remix flips the script and develops a deep afro-house inspired cut - the man from the Caymen Islands developing an irresistible groove stretched out over seven and a half minutes.

The Acid mix gives an opportunity for the guys to get busy working the 303 to its full (un) natural potential, while the Morning Light mix locks into a cosmic vibe - shimmering synths over a smooth, rolling deep house vibe.

The Dub Tool (Vinyl and Beatport only) reworks the vocals into a more spacey arrangement, adding atmosphere for DJs who like to keep their sets stripped back and trippy.

In addition you'll find the chilly Morning Light Mix on the digital release.

Kings of Tomorrow’s place in electronic music history is well assured. 
One of the alias’ for New York legend Sandy Rivera, K.O.T.(@sandy-rivera) helped define the early 90's New York house sound with a series of key releases that climaxed in 2001 with the global smash 'Finally' - truly one of the house music classics.
 
Happily, Sandy Rivera is still making killer, soulful house music and this latest release on Poker Flat Recordings continues to showcase his immeasurable talent for groove. 

‚Kaoz‘ comes along with a fine remix by the Swiss born DJ and producer Dario D’Attis (@dario-dattis-1), that perhaps draws on some the 90’s influence, that K.O.T. defined.

Markus Homm (@markushomm) has already clocked up a seriously impressive run of releases over the last decade, and his star seems set to continue to rise. Born in Romania, and now living in Nurenberg, Homm is widely renowned for his perfectly crafted tech house bombs, released on labels such as Highgrade, Bondage and Bedrock. His first appearance on Poker Flat Recordings sees the acclaimed DJ producer in fine form - three tracks of jacking, effective house music.

'Don’t Let Go' showcases Homm’s grip on tension and release - a thick, deep groove underpinned by a luscious bassline and emotional pads, and propelled forward by tight drum programming and dubby percussion.

'Dance With Me' is a little tougher - fully nailing its colors to the dancefloor with a funky tech workout.

'Feel It' completes the trio - this time a stripped down, pure groove for the sweaty dancers - jacking, raw and highly uplifting.

Josh Butler - Dreamweaver 

Over the past five or six years Josh Butler (@joshbutler), the man from the North of England, has built an enviable career from his polished, slick house sound. Releases on stalwarts like Rejected and Hot Creations along with a residency at Sankeys Ibiza, speak to his quality, and this new release on Poker Flat continues his ascendant trajectory.

'Dreamweaver' is a four track EP stuffed full of powerful tracks destined to light up floors worldwide. The title track is a tough rolling house tune, with crisp, punchy drums and a hypotonic bass pulse. The narcotic vocal snippets place this deep into the late night selections.

'Through You' is also on the tougher side. A jacking beat kicks it off before some jazzy, chicago style stabs set the tone. Snippets of soulful vocals interwoven with a metallic, funky melody, bring the whole track into focus.

'Say Something' also contains a well chosen vocal, coupled with a taut groove that showcases Butler’s ear for space and dynamics. 'Movement' shares a similar aesthetic - Butler finding space amongst the various elements for the groove to work its magic - tech leaning house music for the summer nights.

The uber-talented Romanian DJ and producer Mihai Popovicu is considered one of the most innovative eastern European producers of electronic music today and finally returns to Poker Flat Recordings once again. 

Continuing his rich vein of form into 2019, the Understand EP drops soon after his collaboration with James Dexter, and once again shows why he's well worth getting excited about. 

First up on this release is 'Inside Me', which underlines Popoviciu's perfect understanding of how to create rich and thick grooves from a minimum of sources. The track bumps and rolls, helped along by a deep, evolving bass lead that will undoubtedly get rinsed all over the summer. 

Similarly, 'Understand' keeps the vibe - a heavy tech house hitter with some classic feeling stabs and nice vocal snippets.

An undisputed classic of the electronic music scene, Steve Bug’s 'Loverboy' was released on the first Poker Flat release ever 'Double Action' back in 1999.

Over the years it has been reworked only by a few - but the list includes the likes of Josh Wink and Guido Schneider. Now, as part of the 20 years of Poker Flat celebration, more names are added to that remix list with two new superb remixes from Catz ‘n Dogz and Acid Pauli.

Catz ‘n Dogz are a Polish producer duo making big waves in recent years, and their version of 'Loverboy' brims with their unmistakable energy - chugging, hypnotic groove and tonnes of effects and melodic twists and turns.

Berlin legend Acid Pauli approaches it from a different angle - stripping away elements until a deeply trippy skeletal house track remains.

Frankey is the alias of Frank Beckers, also known as one half of the Berlin duo Frankey & Sandrino. They have notched up a series of stellar releases on labels such as Kompakt, Innervisions, Diynamic or their own label Sum over Histories - and Frankey now drops a his second release on Poker Flat Recordings - the fantastic Sing-EP. 
Utilising almost two decades of production experience, Sing is a supremely assured track - a thick, infectious groove exhibiting nuanced sound design while fragments of piano lead the subtle melodic development. It’s got class written all over it. 
Satellite is cut from the same cloth - Frankey’s attention to detail particularly in the mix makes for a dancefloor track that is both laser sharp and deeply affecting - the drums knock while the chords and effects take the track into space.

Continuing the celebrations surrounding Poker Flat’s 20th year in operation, we are treated to another sublime rework of a back catalogue treasure.  

This time it’s concerning the work of Danish polymath Trentemøller, and his certified classic Moan. Featuring the vocal-talents of Ane Trolle, the track was originally released in 2007, in what could be described as one of Trentemøller’s many splendids. 

Here we have a remix courtesy of Tim Engelhardt - a Poker Flat regular who has built a formidable reputation over the last years. His reinterpretation is the perfect mix of Trentemøller’s instinct for sleek hooks with his own savvy, slinky tech house. The full version features Trolle’s timeless vocals, and there’s also an instrumental version for the DJs.
