Steve Bug - Tracks & Remixes

Electronic music pioneer and Poker Flat boss Steve Bug is a name that needs little introduction, as one of Germany's true house masters he has consistently pushed musical boundaries to become a taste maker and trend-setter of a generation. Joining forces once more with regular collaborator Clé for their joint Nu Groove debut, the pair who have been behind a vast number of elite club cuts now deliver 'Let It Go / Suitcase In A Box' for an imprint steeped in house history. Opening with 'Let It Go', ethereal strings and an enriched, buttery vocal are paired with a wickedly deep bassline and acidic synths for a track that sounds like it was ripped straight from a 90s NYC dancefloor, while the accompanying Bassmix offers a headsier, dub-like alternative. 'Suitcase In A Box' is a little tougher in its composition, as Steve Bug & Clé's patented old-school drums and another hefty dose of acid influence are layered upon a relentless beat for a track destined for in-the-know floors.

Steve Bug returns to his own Poker Flat Recordings with what might be the ultimate summer jam. Entitled The Haze, it’s a woozy, low slung acidic roller with Steve’s trademark ear for detail.

It’s been a busy first half of the year for Steve Bug: he made his AUS Music debut Back to ‘95 on which he teamed up with the renowned vocalist and producer Mr. V, while also finding time to release the double A-side Let It Go / Suitcase In A with long-time collaborator Cle. 

Now he’s back on his own Poker Flat, this time enlisting the sizeable talents of Ali Love for the fantastic new single The Haze.

Ali Love is best known as a member of the house music band Hot Natured and the duo Infinity Ink. Since then he has established himself as one of the most instantly recognisable voices in electronic music, working with a huge array of producers and releasing on leading labels such as Keinemusik, Defected and Crosstown Rebels.

The Haze features Ali Love delivering a vocal full of sweet nostalgia for warm nights and beautiful sunrises, punctuated with Balearic keys and ethereal backing vocals. This is sure fire open-air winner, also presented here is the instrumental mix.

Sassy EP (Steve Bug Rmx)

PREMIERE: Martin Badder - Sassy (Steve Bug Remix) [Whoyostro White]

Active since the early ‘90s, House & Techno mainstay @SteveBug requires little introduction, having contributed to the likes of Bedrock, Knee Deep In Sound, Minus, Cocoon, and Defected, alongside running his own Poker Flat and Sublease Music labels, amongst others. Now making his return to Will Saul’s Aus Music following his ‘Back To ‘95’ EP in 2022, the Berlin-based DJ/producer readies three
bumping House tracks across his new EP, ‘Piano FM’.
Title track ‘Piano FM’ leads the release, bringing thumping kicks, soaring vocal samples, and piano stabs
together for a chunky house jam topped off with deep, rubbery bass. ‘The Moment’ forms a shuffling groove,
peppered with dubbed-out samples and rolling chord progressions for a heads-down groover. ‘Use Me’ combines swirling keys and pitch-perfect drums with bouncing low-end, emotive vocal snippets, and subtle synth licks, rounding out a standout EP from one of the best to do it. Steve Bug ‘Piano FM EP’ drops via Aus Music on 10th March as a Beatport exclusive, followed by a worldwide release on 24th March 2023

With six in six on Rejected Steve Bug is, what you might call, firmly part of the family. As is his regular sparring partner Cle. However, for the first of '23, the Berlin-based producer flies solo on two excellent late night, heavy-hitting, groovers.

Whilst describing the movements and sounds of the opening track to perfection, 'Grumble Bumble', is also a title that can deceive. There are no tired, ageing shapes being thrown to this mid noughties Pokerflat'esque soundtrack. Strobe light at the ready. Sweat on the walls, the warehouse is calling.

Beautifully countering the heads down stripped-back bounce of the A side, is the percussive and uplifting funk of 'Get Away From Me'. Skipping along on jazzy rides and rim-shots, its menacing chords are pierced by synth stabs, claps and a silky vocal, to create a track that balances power and poise to perfection.

Following recent outings on Aus Music, Rejected and Knee Deep In Sound, Steve Bug returns to his own Poker Flat Recordings for his first solo release on the label since 2021's Montafon. 

Despite maintaining a prolific release and remix schedule, it's been quite some time since we've been treated to a pure, unadulterated Steve Bug original on Poker Flat. 

So we're very pleased to present Alto Adige: a fantastically deep and typically meticulous two-tracker set to scratch that particular itch. 

Alto Adige is a patient slow-burner, kicking off with a muted synth line that gradually opens up as the track progresses, building to a deeply satisfying crescendo in the break. 

Trentino is similarly minded, with the addition of rising strings and a beautifully epic synth lead adding even more drama to proceedings.

Steve Bug teams up once again with long time collaborator Cle for two tracks of elevated house music. 

Hallucinous slips into a slinky groove from the off - a restless baseline interacting with a charming two note string sound and skipping percussion. 

Discrete Circuit takes things a little deeper vibewise, delivering a tight groove and arpeggiated synths that bring a psychedelic rush to the fore. 

The third track is a remix of the title track by Leeni and Danilo Kupfernagel, who merge a firing deep house rhythm track with dubbed out chord stabs and atmospheric pads and vocal samples.

Whats left to say about Steve Bug, the house and techno legend who’s influence has left huge fingerprints on the German underground dance scene, not least from his groundbreaking label, Poker Flat or how it shaped ‘00s minimal house; his releases on every seminal label you can think of from Bedrock to Ovum via Cocoon and Defected; his creativity and dedication to his art with 5 solo LPs and 2 collaboration LPs, the latest of which Mixmag described as “elegantly euphoric”; his incredible live sets or his continued love for the music. Honestly, what else can we say? He’s the artist we all want to be when we grow up! Opening with ‘Quando Bailas Asi’ warm lows and choppy stabs are as inviting as visiting your favourite nan for supper. Spoken word lyrics add to the ambience and latin flavor that grooves effortlessly throughout. Relative newcomer, Cristina broke into the scene in 2016 and quickly established herself with releases on TBX, Bondage-Music and Rebellion. Constructing a chunkier tech groove with splashes of balearic guitar, Cristina’s remix captures the originals charm to perfection. Finally, ‘Trees & Clouds’ sees Steve dabbling with delicate Detroitian vibes. Deeply sparse and utterly hypnotising, he recreates the very essence of those early pioneering grooves, expertly bringing them up to date for the modern floors.

Label head Steve Bug returns to his longest running imprint, this time pairing up with No Idea's Original owner, DJ and producer Huxley for L.O.V.E.  

The track is typically upfront house music with classic rave stabs, a timeless vocal sample and firing drums. It’s a surefire party starter and a perfect summation of the producer's individual talents.  

Additionally there’s a remix from the Peruvian DJ and producer Ammo Avenue which reworks the rhythm track and adds various new sounds and FX, but stays true to the rave-infused vibe of the original.

Steve Bug has been back in the bunker, tweaking the dials and flirting with the faders on two new cuts for Rejected.

Having previously brought us Together with his Flying Keys and Raving Butterflies, the Poker flat mastermind serves up a double dose of House magic, with both cuts exhibiting the signature warmth and analogue depth that define Bug's productions.

Lead track, 'Tweak It (Like This)', pulsates with a solid groove that is driven by its fidgety acid line and lively piano punctuation. Whereas 'The Red Panda,' on the flip, charts amore uplifting course, propelled by emotive basslines and shimmering keys. Both tracks, whilst distinctly different, exhibit Steve's infectious rhythms and timeless grooves. Making them essentials for the dancefloor.

Steve Bug is one of electronic music’s true originals. His relentless commitment to quality - both in his own work and in the many producers he has championed - has made him one of the world’s most revered artists and curators, and along with his labels Poker Flat, Sublease Music, Audiomatique, Dessous Recordings, Traffic Signs or Raw Elements has made a sizeable contribution to building the European house and techno scene as we know it.
