Poker Flat label boss Steve Bug (@stevebug) connects with one of Spain’s most inspirational producers and DJs - Uner. The results, predictably, are dancefloor gold. 
Mantis on the Moon slips into its groove from the very start, an insistent beat matched with swingy percussion. The track takes its time but slowly builds into a Minimal / Deep Tech monster over the course of the seven and a half minutes. 
The Swiss pair Animal Trainer pick up the challenge with their remix - a shimmering, melodic rework with a huge drop take that will inspire some chaotic moments on many dancefloors.

2019 has been yet another incredible year of music for Poker Flat, and the new Best Of 2019 compilation collects some of the more notable releases of the last 12 months. Here you’ll find sublime cuts from Francesca Lombardo, Mihai Popoviciu, Uner, Eva Be, Hannes Bieger and of course Steve Bug himself, as well as many other label highlights. If you've missed any PF cuts this year - or are inexplicably coming to the label for the very first time - this is an ideal place to start. 

In 2019 Poker Flat marked its 20th anniversary: a huge achievement and one of which everyone involved with the imprint is rightly proud, with further celebratory releases and events planned well into 2020. 

Much has changed in the two decades since Steve Bug founded Poker Flat, but at least one thing that has remained constant is the quality of the music: meticulously sourced from established artists and up-and-comers alike to represent the sound of the electronic underground, and to soundtrack discerning house and techno dancefloors from Berlin to LA and everywhere in between.

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.

youANDme has been pumping out genre-defining and genre-defying electronic dance music for over 10 years and has earned his reputation as top class producer and DJ. The Berlin resident returns to Poker Flat with a superb EP - Traveller - a collaboration with close friend and peer Tim Toh. 
Raised in Southern Germany, now residing in Berlin, Tim Toh gained a reputation as exceptional DJ and vinyl enthusiast. His skills first came to the attention of Soulphiction and led to a series of releases on Philpot, followed by outings on labels like Ornaments, Freerange, Mild Pitch and many more. 

The results of the collaborations are particularly engaging - four tracks of deep n' baked house music around the theme of movement. 

'Voyager' starts the journey fittingly using the Moog Voyager synth as a starting point and building a driving, string-laden track, topped off with Lisa Toh's (Tim's sister) whispered vocals. 
Next up comes 'Traveller', which boasts a fantastic 'Mastermix remix' from the Norwegian disco don Prins Thomas - a typically spaced out, dubby groove emerges taking all three original tracks of the EP into orbit at once.

'Passport' is another deep roller - smoked out beats are joined by a thick, subby bass and house organ chords that remind of classic Carl Craig or Theo Parrish moments. 

'Excursions' winds up the EP, a subtle and emotional groover that eventually breaks down into the strings that begin the EP- a perfect trip.

Frankey is the pseudonym of Frank Beckers, and one half of Frankey and Sandrino, who have been releasing quality house of the likes of Innervisions, Drumpoets and many other labels of the last years. Beckers here drops two essential cuts for Poker Flat Recordings. 

'Dream' is deep and driving, utilising interesting melodic timbres such as a kalima to add depth and dynamics. 

'Rotary' is similarly adventurous yet firmly wedded to making people move - a stirring groove underpins various bleeps, blasts and shuffling sounds, before an epic bassline takes things to a new level.

The Italian-born, classically trained DJ and producer Francesca Lombardo makes her first appearance on Poker Flat with a double tracker entitled 'Flumen'. 

Lombardo has forged a unique path for herself in underground circles, building up a formidable back catalogue of tracks and enviable performances at some of the best party locations in the world. Here, she demonstrates her mastery at the controls with two tracks that riff on the theme of water, and how rivers move through time and space. 

'Flumen' flows hypnotically, a thick beat that provides the basis for the ominous, unpredictable melodic flourishes around the edges. 

'Psycho', as the name suggests, brings things to a climax, a rushing, powerful surge of tech house that ramps up the tension via interwoven synth lines and bubbling bass pulses.
