Steve Bug & Uner - Mantis On The Moon

A very special partnership indeed occured between NYC‘s Adultnapper and London‘s legendary Mr.C. Entwined in a musical romance that spans the great continents, Sycophant Slags is the outcome of this very special twinning of minds, and ‚Keep Off‘ their latest gift to the world! The release comes complete with 2 huge remixes from Reboot and The Wighnomy Brothers. Prepare for a monster 12‘‘.

In its original version ‚Keep Off‘ is a tricky, trippy slice of modern underground house. Tight, clean and superbly produced, the track becomes a vessel for the catchy vocals of Mr.C, who‘s unique flow and ‚Sky‘s The Limit‘ refrain lift the track into a stand out cut operating on its own higher level. Clearly a serious bomb from these two, we‘re sure this will be the anthem of many a long night - Sycophant Slags are here and there‘s no point in trying to hide!

German hero of our times Reboot re-interprets the track into a brooding, crunchy builder. Trademark Reboot percussion and intricate, loose and inspired phrasing steps this track up into a different groove with its freaky-funky swirling undertones. Its a heavy cut to say the least, and we‘re sure this latest slice of Reboot magic will keep you converted.

Also a couple of long-serving and legendary figures, the Wighnomy Brothers shake up the original into a dark, heavy and brooding minimal funk monster. Full of clever edits, cuts and fx, its a true ode to the brothers talents in the studio. Their ‚Detroittobrieflysort-ulle Remix‘ is really its own beast - making great use of Mr C‘s vocals yet adding their own narrative of freaked out horn sounds, pianos and pumping club ready beats.

After a strong run of releases on Secret Fusion, Nothing Is Real, and Sprechen earlier this year, NYC-based producer Evan Michael now lands on HIFI/LOFI Records with his Modern Life EP — a forward-thinking five-track journey that drifts from dreamy house to cosmic indie dance, with subtle shades of melancholy woven throughout.

Having spent the past decade deeply immersed in New York’s nightlife, Evan has supported many of the city’s most vital independent clubs while absorbing their eclectic soundscapes. That experience has sharpened his ear for house and techno — a sensibility he now channels into productions that move seamlessly between retroism and futurism, all in his uniquely personal way. 

The release is elevated by standout remixes from trailblazer Maruwa, a Robert Johnson club resident whose rising profile spans releases on Steel City Dance Discs and X‑Kalay, delivering a deeper, more minimalistic, and irresistibly groovy reinterpretation of the original. Meanwhile, acclaimed producer Le Chev — trusted studio collaborator of LP Giobbi and co‑writer/producer for artists like Fischerspooner, SOFI TUKKER, Jake Shears, and more — brings a bold injection of deep house and melodic progressive grandeur, flirting with Organic House undertones to expand Evan’s vision.

Michael Mayer, aka Mr. Lava Lava asked a bunch of his absolute favourite artists to have a go at some of the tracks from his recent album 'The Floor Is Lava'. First up is Barcelona's brightest flame, RAXON, who is melting 'Brainwave 2.0' into a stompin fun-filled primetime banger. Longtime collaborator DAVE DK is a masterful producer and remixer that appears regularly on Pampa and Kompakt. His take on 'The Solution' feels like a road trip to paradise and back. Montreal's PRIORI is one of the hottest names in showbiz right now. His ability to bridge genres and create pristine sound designs is fully on display in his remix for 'The Solution'. Last but not least, the legend that is SEBASTIAN MULLAERT took a moment off from his revered Circle Of Live jams to transform the albums deepest cut 'Ardor' into an extraordinary musical journey. Oldschool Border Community vibes in the rebound!

The steely, almost industrial sounding percussions in the intro to HARDT ANTOINE’s new single “Let Me Go” are truly amongst the most unusual and yet highly effective grooves we’ve heard this summer. With every added layer Antoine manages to stir up new emotions and intensifies the levels of deepness and soulfulness. “Let Me Go” ticks all the boxes to become one of the most recognizable and cherished tunes of the season and is already getting heavy support from all the usual suspects.

South Korea’s Shubostar follows with her signature cosmic energy on her remix of Waiting For The Night, Fedele’s atmospheric original brought to life by Lvdovica’s enchanting vocals. She flips the track into fizzing leads, sugar-sweet synth magic, and snappy drums that light up the floor.

Fedele feat. Lvdovica - Waiting For The Night (Shubostar Remix)

"You Make Me Feel" was the first outtake from Steve Bug's second Poker Flat album "Sensual". Slowly but unmistakebly building up a hypnotic groove with a rolling percussion loop, ice-cold snare and hollering vocal (reminiscent of Gainsbourg's "Bonny and Clyde"), Bug forces you flashing your sharpest dancing routines even before he throws in that distorted, take-no-prisoners, Saunderson-style organ-bassline. Flip over for another version that's served up straightened-out and stripped down yet still manages to come up with a higher percentage of FUNK. Another totally satisfying five star menu for the Poker Flat gourmet.

INCOMING : Silicone Soul - Inferno (Dirt Crew Remix) #DarkroomDubs
Release date : 31/10/2025
BUY : https://www.beatport.com/label/darkroom-dubs/3141

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of their seminal 2005 album Staring Into Space, Glaswegian duo Silicone Soul present a Darkroom Dubs reissue featuring two pivotal remixes that helped define the album’s legacy.

Berlin’s Dirt Crew deliver a powerful rework of Inferno. Amplifying the original's deep dub foundations, they lay down an irresistible Italo-disco bassline while framing the timeless toast — 'What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his own soul?’ The result is a remix that balances spiritual gravitas with dancefloor intensity, a reminder of Dirt Crew’s signature touch during their own breakthrough years.

These remixes have been lovingly remastered by Conor Dalton (Glowcast Audio) from the original DATs, giving DJs, collectors, and new listeners a fresh chance to experience two standout reinterpretations from the Silicone Soul archive. Twenty years on, they remain as vital as ever.

Poker Flat label boss Steve Bug 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.
