Poker Flat Recordings - surely one of the most essential and influential labels of the past couple of decades, treat us to something a little different - and very, very special. 

Classic Jams reaches back to the roots, pulling out long lost, forgotten gems – the music that first inspired and invigorated a generation of electronic producers and dancers including Steve Bug.

Take a trip into the deep, jacking, acidic house and raw Techno expressions that had a profound impact on the current Poker Flat roster - from the late 80s up until the present.  

Most of these tracks are long since out of print on vinyl, and fetch considerable amounts on the 2nd hand market. Likewise, some have never been available digitally. Selected and complied by label boss Steve Bug, these are secret weapons for open-minded DJs, and a valuable document of house music’s enduring legacy for the home listeners. 

Aquarius’ warehouse anthem, Jam To It Again, originally out on City Limits in 1990, still sounds like a jolt of adrenaline to the system. Likewise the obscure but stunning Transcendence by Magique Noir will do doubt ignite dance-floors in exactly the same way it did the first time around. Going even further back, Classic Jams also shines a light on Larry Heard’s sublime Never No More Lonely under his Fingers Inc moniker, as well as the 1988 deep house bomb Musiq by Myoshi-Morris which appears in a brand new exclusive Steve Bug edit. 	

Other highlights include Swing City from 1992 with the pure NY house groove of Make You Mine. Hundreds of contemporary producers are desperately trying to emulate this effortlessly pure house moment - none come close. 

Yet it’s not all from our US cousins - tracks that helped kick start a movement in Europe also feature – see VDT’s It’s Just a Dream featuring MC Valium – essential Techno from 1991 out of the soon-to-be-rave-homeland of Germany. 

Throw in other out-and-out lost classics from the likes of Big Baby, Springboard, and Vice, and you have a compilation that stands both as a testament to the enduring genius of house, and as a essential tool for rocking any party. 

Digital customers will also benefit from three bonus tracks - Nick Holder’s 2001 smash Erotic Illusions, Foremost Poets’ Reasons to be Dismal, and DHS’s epic deep jam House of God ($50 mix) which are also available on Poker Flat 12"es. 

Never No More Lonely

A Live DJ recording from Nightmares on wax's summer weekly event "Wax Da Jam" @ Las Dalias Ibiza Feat Shovell the drum warrior on percussion . All Love-in-the-Music-and-the-crowd :-) DaJam-DaJam! xxx

Nightmares on wax presents- Wax Da Jam 3/09/13 feat Shovell

Liz Torres has one of those voices that make so much sense in a sweaty nightclub at 4am. Pure filth but with a sensuality that instigates all maner of lewd behaviour on the dancefloor!. This is probably my favourite track of hers and for the edit I've used the album version, which for me provides a far deeper journey than the 12' mix.

Also, if your around next weekend, I'm DJing on Saturday 26th March at East Village in Shoreditch. Other DJ's on the night include Matt & Jim from Sancho Panza, Stuart Patterson and Freddy Love so it should be a fine evening indeed.

Liz Torres - What You Make Me Feel (Leftside Wobble Edit)

San Francisco's PillowTalk are the trio that make indie/dance and nu disco house in the most beautiful way. They are as at home crafting 80s­ inspired synth­pop, as they are creating psychedelic funk and the classic rock and roll rhythms. PillowTalk also comfortably produce slow electronic ballads and now, the ultra-melodic three piece announce their debut LP 'Je Ne Sais Quoi'. Due for release via Wolf + Lamb, Je Ne Sais Quoi is a fine work of art that demonstrates the mastery of the trio in their finest form. To coincide with this special announcement, they've delivered the first in their new '70s radio inspired podcast series, 'Back to the Future Radio'. Lock in and enjoy some pure PillowTalk passion.

PillowTalk 'Je Ne Sais Quoi' is due to drop 17th March 2014 on Wolf + Lamb

PillowTalk: Music to... Go Back to the Future

Just increased the bpm a bit 
Original is about 125 , now its 130,08 
In my opinion , it sounds much better

Rick Wilhite - Drum Patterns & Memories (Moodymann Mix) (Edited by me)

Did you know that Germans could make synth-oriented dance music? Well, they did and they have.  Since the era of Kraftwerk and beyond Germany has contributed to electronic music, and often its culture has transposed that sound. When I first found this song, it had the tag 'High Fashion Music'. I probably would have not considered this without the tag, however I can understand it. It would have been neat to see what High Fashion ‘culture’ was like in West Germany during the Eighties was like. Perhaps like this song.

A1 Summer Night in Harlem       6:16
"Harlem", Bill Withers, USA,1971

One of the finest songwriters America has ever seen, Bill Withers crafted this song while he was still working at the factory. Recorded for his debut album, this song was regrettably recorded and arraged according to 1971 standards, with the bass drum almost inaudible, and the arrangement code of pop and soul keeping the song to a criminal 3 minutes. This mix attempts to reverse engineer a Tom Moulton mix of a song that never had one, but deeply deserves that kind of love.

I loved this song so much I had to flip the guitar and Nai's beautiful vocals. Honestly I think this Melbourne based future soul band is the next big thing! I hope they like it haha

A remix of Larry Heard's house classic "Can you feel it". One of the tracks that got me into classic house music. A software TB-303 was involved.

Can You Feel It (Acid Mix Feat. Larry Heard)

Following her astounding 2017 record "Dusk & Dreamland", System Olympia is back with another profound EP. 
Heartbreak - in between notes of resilience, fierceness, hidden strength, and ultimate love for life - shapes the four songs in “Under My Eyes”. 
Out on the Italian imprint Slow Motion. 
My Lincoln : Written together with DXJX, an upcoming, talented and mysterious producer from Los Angeles, CA. It's a song that subliminally talks about the difficulty of deciphering life sometimes (and all of what's inside it). The distance created by lack of communication. An ocean of tears. Digging the Earth for crystals and looking for signs in the stars. Surrendering to a universal confusion, and the ultimate freedom of allowing ourselves, to be ourselves. Disappearing forever. The eternal life of its own of the creations we leave behind. 
Jade Stones : The intoxicating feeling of a dark dance floor that transcends time. 
Nessuno Mi Ferma : No one can stop me. Survival instinct kicking in through the primordial rhythms of a 4/4 signature, and some chords so warm that feel like naked hugs coming to save you. 
Low-Fi Space Cowboy : Elliott Yorke and his collective vibration resonance. Other-worldly light breaking the sky on a cloudy afternoon.
