Tim Engelhardt returns to Poker Flat Recordings for the first time since his First Contact release in 2020. In the meantime the German producer and DJ has been gracing other fine labels such as Stil Vor Talent and Watergate Records, but Poker Flat is delighted to welcome back his distinctive deep and effecting approach to tech house with his new EP

Follow is a highly musical track - the live-sounding drums give it a motorik feel, while the bubbling synths and melancholic, jazzy keys bring an element of depth and sophistication

Burning is a techier cut, with a thick, rounded bass and some of Tim’s trademark tension building synth lines. It’s the perfect soundtrack for the upcoming festival season.

The second release in our Anniversary Remixes campaign sees one of our most iconic tracks, ‘Downpipe’, reinterpreted by the world’s No.1 DJ Armin van Buuren, Techno veteran Adrian Hour and new kid on the block Bontan.

‘Downpipe’, the collaboration between our label leader, Mark Knight, master of production, D.Ramirez, and legends of dance music, Underworld, is a landmark track in the history of Toolroom Records. Crowned Essential New Tune on Radio 1 by Pete Tong and forming an integral part of the soundtrack to the opening ceremony of the London Olympics last year, it is still receiving overwhelming support today.

Heading up The Anniversary Remixes of ‘Downpipe’, superstar DJ Armin van Buuren delivers up a euphoric, unstoppable, big room remix that is set to take to the throne & join the original. 
Adrian Hour presents a techno workout that is completely relentless, energetic from the off the intensity doesn’t let up resulting in a peak time gem for the underground. Finishing up the package is UK wonder kid Bontan, following his recent Top Ten he continues his reign delivering a stripped back bass line workout with Karl Hyde’s vocals cleverly chopped into the groove.

A tech house anthem and one of the scene’s most unforgettable tracks, The Anniversary Remixes sees ‘Downpipe’ transformed across three musical landscapes with unstoppable results.

Ektoplast’s Ether is a collage of experiences and memories - like a forest walk, a meeting, a dream, a futuristic painting, a psychotropic experience, an ethnomusicology course on Indonesian music, a Bach fugue, a song by Radiohead, or an amazing track discovered one summer morning during a festival.

Harvey McKay has notched up an impressive catalogue of releases for labels such as UNCAGE, Perc Trax, Cocoon, Filth On Acid and many more, always delivering well-polished and effective techno cuts. ‘Anatomy..’ follows 2009’s ‘Machine Make Noise’ album, released on the Soma Quality Recordings label, and marks a distinct progression in the stalwart producer’s sound.

From the opening strains of ‘Sequence Four (For Riley Instrumental)’, the assured maturity of McKay’s productions shine through, as the album touches on the many tones and tempos within the modern techno and electronic genre.

Whilst taking inspiration from the Detroit and Berlin school, it’s his own decidedly deep and funky aesthetic that binds the album together, as the ebb and flow of the thirteen tracks work magnificently, coming into land with the double delights of ‘Horizon’ and ‘Alive’.

Harvey McKay is a producer who has very much ‘stuck to his guns’ over the years, and remained aligned to the true techno sound, which is a real blessing when the music is this strong and rewarding.

The album is dedicated to my dear friend David Balmer and his fight against motor neurone disease. All profits from this album go to help Davey.

Reset Robot drops a new album on his label Whistleblower with an impressive 13 track release that showcases his versatility as a producer.

Covering a broad cross-section of genres, the release explores all corners of the dance floor while also incorporating some afterhours chill-out elements.

Based in the UK city of Portsmouth, Reset Robot has previously released on labels including ranging from techno imprints such as Adam Beyer's Drumcode and Scuba's Hotflush to house focused labels such as Sasha's Last Night On Earth and the iconic Mobilee Records.

Although he is well-known for his club tracks, this album is a chance for David Robertson aka Reset Robot to explore the more obscure side of his music taste, and the output in a synthesizer laden body of work that’s on a par with the seminal works of others such as Bicep and Burial.

Exploring brokenbeat rhythms, ambient textures and intricate melodies, this album is a thought-provoking selection that flows with a captivating suspense.

Subdued and introverted, it’s got a lo-fi and dreamy aesthetic that occasionally lets fly into a dance floor orientated groove. “Chords N Thing”, “Single Coil” and “Waves” are both examples of this, but tracks like “How Deep”, “Crows” and “Unknown Unknowns” are at opposite ends of the same spectrum with their ambient moods.

The projects are often shrouded in secrecy, but in addition to his own music, Reset Robot also works behind the scenes with some of electronic music’s biggest names, and this album is testament to why so many trust his production skills.

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.

Qess steps up with a release on the evergreen Poker Flat Recordings, Steve Bug’s long running and now legendary label for deep and techy house.  

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.

Jim Rivers continues to build on his glowing reputation as a master of the space between house and techno with this essential release on Poker Flat Records. 

A producer and DJ with a career spanning over a decade, Rivers has earned widespread respect for his deep, dynamic productions and ability to blur genre boundaries with finesse.

The title track, Magnolia, leads the release with its tough kicks and crisp percussion, laying the foundation for a driving house workout infused with spacy atmospherics. This is peak-time material—hypnotic, pulsing, and primed for the dancefloor. 

On the flip side, Salix takes a deeper approach, featuring thick subby kicks and wonky melodic elements that blend seamlessly into an intoxicating mix of euphoric house and late-night groove.

Swiss-born DJ and producer Dario D’Attis continues his streak of high-caliber releases, delivering yet another standout record on Poker Flat Records. 

Known for his deep, groove-driven sound and impeccable production, D’Attis teams up with house music legend Mr. V on Back To The Old, a tribute to the golden days of US house music. Mr. V’s unmistakable vocals set the tone, celebrating the raw, jackin’ energy that defined the era, while D’Attis provides a driving, dancefloor-ready groove. 

For those who prefer the instrumental, the Underground Mix Instrumental is also included.

Adding to the release, NYC house icon Joeski - a veteran with over three decades in the scene - delivers a remix that takes Back To The Old into deep, rolling territory. A staple of underground house, Joeski has crafted a career spanning from the late '90s rave scene to modern-day dance floors. His remix leans into a hypnotic, percussive groove, keeping the retro spirit alive while injecting his signature deep and bumping style.

Steve Bug reappears on his iconic Poker Flat imprint, sharing production duties with longtime collaborator Huxley once more. 

Come On is a tight, old-skool referencing house track built around a ravey vocal sample, a classic chord progression and tight, funky drum programming. 

Clearly deeply infatuated with the early days of US house, the original is all vibe. 

UK based house producer CASSIMM contributes a remix, that leans into the old skool vibe but adds layers that are more techier and driving.  

The shimmering synth stabs and effects add a new dimension to the track - a more streamlined and minimal aesthetic.

Detroit techno legend Kevin Saunderson sees his seminal piece of House history ‘The Sound’ reworked with originality and admiration by the amazingly versatile and setter of trends, Jay Lumen.

A mainstay of house music and respected as an all round pioneer, it’s no wonder that Saunderson’s original infectious melody remains as fresh now as it did in its original ‘87 outing. Jay Lumen respectfully reworks his own unique and instantly recognisable flavour onto the release whilst maintaining the qualities that make ‘The Sound’ a worldwide house hit. Lumen’s intricate percussion patterns, spacious grooves, and fierce techno beats all come together alongside that bass hook to ignite clubs floors once more as Toolroom serves up a fresh offering of this vintage anthem. 

A serious cut of cool club-defining house music, ‘The Sound’’ is an instant injection of authenticity into any set. Watch the dance floor ignite as these era-moulding grooves take hold once more…
