The electronic musician and Poker Flat founder’s contemplative new stu-dio album takes in minimal house music, moody techno and effervescent breaks across 11 unique tracks. 

Acclaimed producer, DJ, label owner and musical pioneer Steve Bug’s influence on the musical landscape is, at this stage in his career, well documented. With roots in Germany’s legendary club scene and fans around the world thanks to his enviable catalogue of releases, the influence of his label Poker Flat, and his famously exemplary DJ sets, Steve is a singular artist with a lucid and passionate approach to his craft. 

His previous LP Paradise Sold alongside Langenberg was released in 2018 to critical acclaim, and described as “elegantly euphoric” by Mixmag. Never Ending Winding Roads is an entirely solo release however, with much of it produced during the months of enforced isolation due to the coronavirus pandemic. Many of the track titles reflect Steve’s headspace during this time, with themes of solitude, contemplation and reflection brought to the fore perhaps more than with any of his previous work. 

Steve’s formative musical years were spent during Germany’s techno and acid house heyday, with his love for a perfect groove as apparent now as it was back then. His DJ skills and a keen, innovative ear led him not down the typical path of the early nineties trance and harder dance scene, but instead towards a fresher, hybrid sound–merging stripped deep house, tweaked out acid and more minimal forms of techno and electronic music: a strand of music he fiercely champions to this day. 

Steve Bug: “My mindset when making Never Ending Winding Roads was completely different to any other project I have embarked on. I didn’t have to tour, and instead could focus 100% on writing music without having the dancefloor as a constant influence. This allowed me creative freedom to explore a range of styles and emotions, and as a result, it is the album I feel most satisfied with to date”.
With 11 brand new tracks, Never Ending Winding Roads is a meticulously produced and deeply engaging electronic album; one that explores various shades of house, techno and broken beat with Steve’s celebrated attention to detail and consummate originality. 
Album opener Lucid Loops perfectly sets the tone, immediately ensnaring you with a hypnotic, undulating synth line and a faintly menacing undertone thanks to hushed, discordant strings and unnerving vocal stabs. This atmosphere of quiet paranoia permeates many of the tracks on Never Ending Winding Roads, most explicitly in the sinewy groove and sketchy, panic-inducing synth line of Locked Away In My Head. 

This album more than perhaps any other in his career sees Steve experi- menting with broken beats, to incredible effect. Tracks like A Conscious Machine and Electro Harmonix are melodic, emotionally rich cuts: burst of radiant optimism that juxtapose beautifully with the album’s darker moments. 
Elsewhere tracks like Yellow Snake find Steve exploring deep, dubby territory, while album closer Upon Mountains is a cosmic, arpeggiated masterpiece: an 8bit computer game soundtrack reimagined as a poignant electro ballad.

Mister Natasha 
(Bugz Night - Jardin Bonheur - Whatever)
English Bio below

Mister Natasha est un voyou « old school », un bandit certifié qui ne ménage jamais sa peine pour braquer le dancefloor avec du Son House & Techno-Minimal, et dont le plaisir secret est de garder ses otages les mains en l'air jusqu'au bout de la nuit! 

DJ depuis 1997, Yannick découvre la musique électronique presque par hasard dans les premières Rave de l’Est de la France, notamment à la Laiterie de Strasbourg, ainsi qu’en Allemagne où le phénomène Techno explose alors dans les clubs mythiques tels que l’Oktan et le Jailhouse. 
A cette époque tous les styles de musique électro se mélangent sans distinction, et c'est de là qu'il détient le plaisir de toujours varier les styles dans ses sets. Cet éclectisme est nourri dés ses débuts de DJ par la vague de la French-Touch avec les Daft-punk, les labels Black-jack, Fiat lux, mais aussi, plus largement par la house US avec les MAW, DJ Sneak, Joeski etc. C’est la source de son amour inconditionnel du groove! 

Depuis, il a travaillé à parfaire ses sets en poursuivant des influences House & Techno. Il s’éloigne volontairement des étiquettes afin de restituer le plus fidèlement sa propre vision du Son club : « De la musique aussi bien pour les jambes que pour la tête ». L'éclectisme est sa marque de fabrique et sa carte gagnante, c’est de savoir s’adapter à son public. 

Il a su installer son esprit clubbing lors de différentes résidences : « Supalova » au Living Room (SXB), « Housecream» au LABgalerie, « Choice » au Charlie's, les estivales « What's The F*ck ! », « Love, Fun and Criminal ! ». Et lors de la dernière décennie, il a coorganisé avec son ami Dark Fela les mythiques Bugz Night au Zenith de Strasbourg ou il a pu partager les platines avec entre autre Gerd Janson, Magda, Ryan Crosson, Steve Bug, Steve Rachmad, Mark Broom, Alexkid, Lucy, Marc Ramboy, Ben Sims, Anthony Parasole, Keith Karnal, Joachim Spieth, Jesper Dahlback, Barem, Mind Againt, La Fleur... Laissez vous kidnapper !

Mister Natasha is an “old school” Gangster, a certified bandit who never spares his efforts to rob the dancefloor with House & Techno Sound, and whose secret pleasure's is to keep his hostages with their hands in the air until at the end of the night!

DJ since 1997, Yannick discovered electronic music almost by chance in the early Raves in Eastern France, notably at « La Laiterie » in Strasbourg, as well as in Germany where the Techno phenomenon raised in legendary clubs such as the Oktan and the Dorian Grey.
At that time all styles of electro music are mixed without distinction, and that's where he had always the pleasure of swimming across thoses styles in his DJ sets. This eclecticism was fed, from his beginnings as a DJ, by the French-Touch wave's with Daft-punk, Laurent Garnier, the Black-jack labels, Fiat lux, but also, more widely, by US house with MAW, DJ Sneak, Joeski etc. . This is the source of his unconditional love of groove!

Since then, he has worked to perfect his sets by pursuing House & Techno influences whitout boundaries. He deliberately moves away from trend music's to most faithfully reproduce his own vision of Club Sound: “Music for the feets as well as the mind”. Eclecticism is his trademark and his winning card is knowing how to embrasse his audience into his musical journey's.

He was able to establish his clubbing spirit across the East of France, and also in Germany, Swiss, Belgium and share the decks with some good felas, to name a few such as Gerd Janson, Magda, Ryan Crosson, Steve Bug, Steve Rachmad, Mark Broom, Alexkid, Lucy, Marc Ramboy, Ben Sims, Anthony Parasole, Keith Karnal, Joachim Spieth, Jesper Dahlback, Barem, Mind Againt, La Fleur, Dark Fela... Get kidnapped!

Massive Dynamic begann seine musikalischen Ideen, im alter von 15 Jahren, auf MJ Kassetten umzusetzen.

Damals noch durch abspulen von Tapes, um etwas in Richtung Übergang zu erzielen.

Er merkte nicht viel später, das sich in seinem Komplizierten Kopf mehr befand.

Um seine liebe zum Musik machen umzusetzen nutzte er alle Chancen und machte Musik für sich und seine Freunde....

ca. zwei Jahre später traf er M.Laku....

Sie beide rockten zusammen die kleinen Clubs in Meck - Pomm und auf After Hour Partys......

Massive Dynamic fand sein Genre; ELECTRO-MINIMAL.

Die Verbundenheit zu seiner Stadt und der überwiegend für den kopf gemachter Minimal Musik,
ließ sein Label "SouthWest U-Projekt" entstehen.

Massive Dynamic war sceneintern schnell als Headliner der verrücktesten After Hour Partys bekannt und mehr als angesagt.

Durch seinen Minimal Style der den Kopf anspricht entstand eine ganz neue Richtung : Die Clubs zu füllen ist zu seiner Show geworden....

Massive Dynamic zog auf die INSEL USEDOM, er etablierte sich dort schnell mit den Leuten die ihm weiter bringen sollten.

Die Verbundenheit von Massive Dynamic seine arbeit als Kunst zu sehen, und diese mit Herz und Kopf zu machen, ließ nicht nur Freundschaften entstehen sondern brachte auch ein Projekt auf die Beine das die Musik weiter ausbauen sollte.

Massive Dynamic kam zum Progressiven Psytrance.......

Sein neuer Style bekam Support, und Massive Dynamic legte jetzt alles ins sampeln neuer Tracks.

Die vielen Club's und Festival Erfahrungen beeinflussten seinen neuen Style und seine Sets maßgeblich.

Im Rückblick auf mehr als einem Jahrzehnt der intensiven Einbindung in die Trance-Szene, erlebt Massive Dynamic die reiche Entwicklung dieser Subkultur mit all ihren Neuerungen, Änderungen und alle ihre Höhen und Tiefen...

Mehr noch: Mit seiner Arbeit an Projekten, der ständig gewonnen Qualität ist er zu einem festen Bezugspunkt für anspruchsvolle, hoch-funktionellen Progressiven PsyTrance geworden....

Massive Dynamic wurde zu einem festen Bestandteil für viele Partys und prägt ihre musikalische Entwicklung mit seinen einzigartigen Set's, bis heute in der legendären Festivalscene.

Massive Dynamic zeigte das die Musik wirklich sein Herzblut ist und die Flexibilität die beiden unterschiedlichen Style ( ELECTRO-MINIMAL ) zu kombinieren, brachte einen ganz neuen Flow in seine Kunst.

Mittlerweile legt er sowohl auf GOA Partys als auch auf Minimalsaisons auf, und schafft es immer wieder seine Fans und Freunde zum abgehen zu animieren.
