DJ Koze - Special Extended Set 2009

There's good, and then there's great. And then there's essential. Steve Bug and his Poker Flat label, which is over fifteen years old now, are perennials in house and techno. Bug, German by birth, attained this canonical status through the sheer will of groove and melody, and his debut MIXED BY makes it look easy.

"We never want to go with the next big thing. We don't want to try to impress people with the newest artists who are super-hyped," Bug told THUMP last year. "We'd rather release music that has a timeless feel to it, rather than whatever is hip right now."

Lucky for Bug, house and techno are probably more hip than they've ever been, and his academic understanding of the history of club culture gushes from the speakers with every kick.

The mix features Poker Flat artists like Tim Engelhardt, Joeski, and Bug himself, before dropping cuts from Seth Troxler, Ten Ven, and Poker Flat alumni Josh Wink. With thirteen tracks in one hour, it shows you don't need to set off fireworks every minute to keep the crowd moving.

"I want to make people happy with the music that I like," says Bug. "I'd rather drown in my own sound than survive by doing something I don't really feel."

Ketoloco Vaults: ROBAG WRUHME & AXEL BOMAN B2B (Live from Ketoloco at The Light Bar) 26.07.2012

This mix from @stevebug was made in anticipation of the 2018 Cityfox Odyssey NYE & NYD 2018 event.

Steve Bug's brilliance is in his knack for extracting the seductive side of house music. Here in his Foxcast, he thoughtfully employs tracks with the classic sounds of house music (organs, alluring vocals, acid vibes) to spectacular effect, achieving that desirable sexy groove throughout its entirety. The latter half of the mix picks up to a faster pace, Bug putting forth intelligent tech-house tracks that really stand a cut above the rest.

Steve Bug, a longstanding and venerated DJ and producer of the underground electronic music scene, has furnished for us with this truly exceptional Foxcast. Germany's champion of minimal house, Bug has a twenty-six-year career and a successful imprint under his belt. Poker Flat has been around for almost two decades and boasts 396 releases. It is constantly evolving and serving as a launching pad for fresh talent including most recently, Tim Englehardt. 

The longevity of his career as well his imprint speaks volumes, this Foxcast simply another testament. Did you catch his set at the 2018 NYE & NYD party? Share your thoughts in the comments!

Foxcast 21: Steve Bug (December 2017)

"Entschuldigen Sie, bitte, ich suche eine Partey in Jena Citey"

Eine legendäre Nacht, von der man sich noch heute in Jena erzählt. Lange in Kisten verschollen, gibt's den Mix von DJ Koze aus dieser Nacht jetzt für alle. Here comes the sun...

Bericht: www.szenemag.de/mag/html/reviews/r2002/021221kassablanca/review.htm

DJ Koze at Kassablanca, Jena (21.12.2002)

Fresh off the heels of his highly anticipated double EP ‘Wuzzelbud FF’ - a “stylistic follow-up” to his 2004 debut album ‘Wuzzelbud KK’ - Robag Wruhme has thrown together a wonderfully elaborate mix for the next installment of our In Session series.

Speaking on the mix he's delivered, Wruhme explains: "To me, it's really boring to simply mix one track into the next one because you can't to convey the energy of a specific situation from a club into the living room. Therefore, I put the ladder really high when I do mixes. Ever since the first one back in 2005 for the festival 'Sonne, Mond & Sterne,' I used additional sample fragments and layers. In addition, I only use some parts of a track and not the entire thing. The result is a symbiosis of sounds and moments."
