Last year, Poker Flat Recordings’ head, Steve Bug, took part as a coach in the Mixmasters retreat in Ibiza alongside producer colleagues Huxley and Denney as well as singer and songwriter Jade PraiZe.
Poker Flat label head Steve Bug returns to his longest running imprint, this time pairing up with No Idea's Original owner, DJ/producer Huxley for ‘L.O.V.E.’.
Lithuanian-born, London-raised Ibiza resident Greta Levska brings her take on electronic music to Poker Flat Records. ‘The Flex’ EP showcases some of her influences and sounds - ‘Don’t Sweat The Flex’ is an electro-infused track that feels entirely contemporary, mixing classic beats and an old school vocal with trancey synths.
Launched last year by Sydney Blu and Rebekah, 23by23 is an initiative that aims to encourage labels to increase the proportion of female artists on their roster. Part of that initiative was setting up a number of remix competitions with various labels, the latest of which sees Joyce Muniz feat. Demetrius back on Poker Flat with new versions of her 2020 single ‘What’s Your Name’, from SWAH, BLU 9 and Esther Benoit.
Estonian house DJ/producer Taavi Tuisk drops a two tracker for Steve Bug’s Poker Flat Recordings. Taavi has been making, releasing and promoting music for almost two decades, and here we get to feel something of his playful approach to dance music. Taavi has been a DJ for more than half of his life and has apparently played all over the world performing at clubs like Ministry Of Sound, Pacha and Space.
Poker Flat Recordings keeps up its release schedule with another EP - this time by Gorge and Markus Homm. Gorge (aka Pit Waldmann) is the co-owner of 8bit Records, originally from Mannheim and has probably carved a niche for himself over the past 20-odd years.
Poker Flat Recordings keeps up its release schedule with another EP, this time from Gorge and Markus Homm. Gorge (aka Pit Waldmann) is the co-owner of 8bit Records, originally from Mannheim and has possibly carved a singular niche for himself over the past 20-odd years. Similarly, Markus Homm has possibly been influential in developing the scene in his native Romania, and is now working alongside the Poker Flat regular Mihai Popoviciu.
Completing the series that celebrates the legacy of two decades of Poker Flat Recordings, label-head Steve Bug drops another batch of reworks of the label's tracks. The EP kicks off with his 'A Night Like This' which originally dropped back in 2001. Here it gets the treatment from label ally Mihai Popoviciu - the Romanian producer brings a new twist, shaping the material into a streamlined tech-house track that is both faithful to the original and completely his own vibe.
Berlin remixer, live act and producer Hannes Bieger returns to Poker Flat Recordings for the first time since his 2019 track 'Chemistry'. Bieger matches his studio skills with a sense of what the dancefloor possibly needs, and has probably made an impact in the scene with releases on the likes of Bedrock and Awesome Soundwave.
The 20 Years of Poker Flat celebration continues to release new productions. Here are another two examples as Guti and Greg Gow revisit some music moments from the combo of Steve Bug and Cle.
