Poker Flat Recordings keeps up its prodigious release schedule with another superb EP - this time by scene statesmen Gorge and Markus Homm. Gorge (aka Pit Waldmann) is the co-owner of 8bit Records, originally from Mannheim and has carved a singular niche for himself over the past 20-odd years. Similarly. Markus Homm has been deeply influential in developing the scene in his native Romania, and is now working alongside the Poker Flat regular Mihai Popoviciu.

With this EP Gorge and Markus Homm have merged their many talents and honed two tracks of depth and weight. 'Holos' is a tightly wound slice of superior tech house, textured and layered with lush chords and a thick lower end.

'Glint' also showcases the duo's mutual understanding of the dynamics of the dance floor - a slick groove is enhanced and expanded via subtle and effective melodic elements, including a pinch of acidic 303 sounds.

Following on from his 'Tired Voice' EP Reset Robot returns to Poker Flat Recordings with a new three-tracker entitled Duplicate. 

The man behind the moniker is Dave Robertson, Portsmouth based DJ/producer who has been honing his sound for some time - a perfect blend of crafty house music and slick tech vibes. 

With this EP he flaunts a lot of his signature sound - the title track grooves along nicely around a shuffling beat before building and dropping with maximum effect. 

Hyra has a more classic techno feel, the blippy groove compliments a Detroit-eque pad, before the track locks into its main section accompanied by a wobbly synth. 

Service, the third track sits somewhere in between the two - a thick synth bassline and propulsive rhythm track creating a heavy dance-floor heater.

Kotelett is one half of Kotelett & Zadak, the idiosyncratic house duo who have clocked up releases on respected imprints including Katermukke, Selador and Natura Viva. Recording solo for his latest single, Kotelett now returns to Poker Flat Recordings. 

I Don't Know starts life as a moody, slick deep house cut, but transforms into a joyously uplifting floor-filling with the graudal introduction of snatches of vocal and triumphant piano chords. On remix duties, Audiojack beef everything up, adding an overall techier flavour complete with rumbling bassline and epic breakdown.

Said the artist of its creation: "This started life as just a fun jam when I couldn't get on with another remix. But the fun of the nineties piano chords finally got me to put my hands up in the studio, and convinced me to finish it.

The vocal would have been a taboo for me for a long time, now it really gets into me! It's always a nice feeling when you can leave your old belief at the roadside".

Lithuanian-born, London-raised Ibiza resident Greta Levska brings her colourful take on electronic music to Poker Flat Records. 

The Flex EP showcases some of her influences and signature sounds - Don’t Sweat The Flex is an electro-infused banger that feels entirely contemporary, mixing classic beats and an old school vocal with trancey synths. 

Next up is Streets, which is built around a sick break beat and a growling bass. The cut up hip hop vocals merge with dreamy pads to create a unique track. 

Dachshund provides a remix of Streets to round off the EP - opting for a more straight 4/4 feel while adding some sidechained pads to create a firing dancefloor version.

House and techno legends Pig&Dan return to Poker Flat Recordings, 20 something years into a career that has seen them achieve almost all that is possible in electronic music. 

For Call the Hitman they team up once more with the just as legendary You Plus One founder Siavash. Together they display how they remain at the top of their game, fresh and urgent in their production and delivery. 

Call The Hitman snaps along with an elastic bassline and finely tuned drums. The cheeky vocal is undeniable, and might well become an after-party anthem.  

Out The Jungle dials into a bumping house groove with lots of character and swing - a late night deep cut that will be getting a lot of spins on discerning dancefloors.

Dilby is a Berlin based DJ originally hailing from New Zealand, and with a couple of decades of experience as a DJ and producer.  

Here on Poker Flat Recordings he drops a strong two-tracker that highlights his skills as master of atmospheric tech-house.  



Organika builds slowly and patiently from a few elements to become an euphoric and hypnotic deep gem.  

Burnt Embers is another tripping groove that revels in restraint - the track takes its time and in the process creates a deeply engaging, spacy vibe.

Kotelett, one half of Kotelett & Zadak, the idiosyncratic house duo who have clocked up releases on respected imprints including Katermukke, Selador and Natura Viva recently returned to Poker Flat Recordings with his solo single I Don’t Know earlier this year.

Now he returns with a spectacular remix from Swiss producer Dario D’Attis. The rework adds a new flavour to the deep, rolling nature of the original, adding a more jacking vibe and pushing the vocal more to the fore.

Label head Steve Bug returns to his longest running imprint, this time pairing up with No Idea's Original owner, DJ and producer Huxley for L.O.V.E.  

The track is typically upfront house music with classic rave stabs, a timeless vocal sample and firing drums. It’s a surefire party starter and a perfect summation of the producer's individual talents.  

Additionally there’s a remix from the Peruvian DJ and producer Ammo Avenue which reworks the rhythm track and adds various new sounds and FX, but stays true to the rave-infused vibe of the original.

Dachshund is the artist name of Olivier Doret, a DJ and producer based in Geneva, Switzerland who is also the Co-founder of the Clapper label. 

With releases dating back to 2006, Dachshund is an established entity in the scene, and has built a strong and loyal following among those in the know. 

With this Cozy Mess EP on Poker Flat Recordings, he dials in directly to his signature sound - beautifully produced tech-leaning house with tonnes of atmosphere and vibe.  

Cozy Mess, the title track develops around an ethereal arpeggiated melody that undulates and evolves, while restrained synth stabs punctuate the groove. 

Lust offers up a similarly enthralling journey, a mini epic that integrates minor keys and pads. 

Hidden Echos is the last track on the EP, with a tougher beat that sets the tone for some dubby and effected sounds to float on top, creating a rich atmosphere carried forward by sharply programmed drums.

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.

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.

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.

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.
