20 Years of Poker Flat Recordings
Having celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2019, Poker Flat remains a consistent and robust driving force behind the very best in electronic music - with zero signs of slowing down.
The label is home to a prestigious lineup of talent: John Tejeda, Alex Niggemann, Guido Schneider, Tim Engelhardt, Martin Landsky and Joeski - each as forward-thinking and innovative as their counterparts. Steve Bug’s music-first approach, quality control and ear for creativity has positioned Poker Flat as one of the great imprints of our generation and will no doubt be looked back upon as an influential outlet for not just its music, but also its impact on clubbing, dance and techno culture too.
Releases continue to stand the test of time since its origins back in 1999. Its back catalogue of now over 300 releases - including cuts such as John Tejada’s ‘Sweat (On the Walls)’ Tim Engelhardt’s ‘Everything Is All You Have’ and Guido Schneider’s ‘Unterwegs Mit Guido Schneider’ (plus many more) they continue to remain go-to tracks for many DJs today, right here in 2020.
It’s only right then that Steve celebrates such a significant moment in time for both himself and the label - and in doing so, has released ‘Time Flies 2 (The Best of Steve Bug 2009 - 2019). Marking the second decade in his career, the compilation explores his best productions and collaborations such as recognizable classic ‘Chordwalk Empire’, ‘The Arpeggio’ and ‘Coconut Paradise’ alongside 17 others, making for a bumper 20-track selection. One for each year.

In The Studio with Steve Bug
Steve Bug has pushed the boundaries for decades. From the minimal mastery of 1998's ‘Loverboy’ to his Chicago house and Detroit techno-flavoured label Poker Flat, he is one of the most technically gifted DJ-producer-label bosses around: reason enough to visit his synth-packed Berlin studio for a Tech Talk on Telekom Electronic Beats TV.
