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.
