BIO
Steve Bug is the founder of Poker Flat Recordings. His DJ career started in 1991 and he has played at nearly all the famous clubs and events around the world since then.
In 1995 he released his first solo single "Bugwahn" on Superstition Recordings and founded the Label "Raw Elements". After numerous high quality releases and the foundation of the deep-house label Dessous Recordings, Steve Bug released the "Double Action" 12" as first release on Poker Flat Recordings in 1999 and the song 'Loverboy' became a huge success all over the world. Lot's of very succesful releases followed with the latest being his 3rd album 'Sensual' (PFRCD08).
2001 is a year of global gigs and tours from the US
and Canada to Japan and Australia,not the less due
to another important change:bookingwise Escorteaze
now takes care on the major Poker Flat artist roster
and,of course,on Steve Bug himself,who started the
production of his next Poker Flat album.
The first outtake 12inch “You Make Me Feel “is released
in February 2002 and is already an underground club
hit.Studio sessions in Toronto with Richie Hawtin in
February 2002 result in Minus 9 -Low Blow 12inch ‚
(released in july 2002)and Steve co-produces the
‚Pull EP ‘with Chicago ’s Nick Calingaert aka Common
Factor.
In September 2002 Steve Bug released his second
Poker Flat solo-album “Sensual “which shows a warm
clubby variety of Steve ’s musical talent,deep,kicking
and minimal but with a completely new flavor -a new
magical formula-that might surprise you but keep you
warm and smiling...seductively laid-back and funky.
Both singles „You Make Me Feel “and „November Girl “
appeared to be club hits and the following 12 “„That ‘s
What I Like “ continued this tradition..
Somewhere around the end of 2002,another crucial
change was made.Steve decided to play his club sets
only and always with Final Scratch from this point on.
And he had his first Final Scratch DJ mix released in
May 2003,in the context of his „Da minimal Funk 3 “,
which is yet another highlight in Steve Bug ‘s carrer.
He also earned much respect for his remix productions
for e.g.Jeff Samuel and Pascal F.E.O.S.,just to name
a few.Especially his remix for Freaks -„The Creeps “
was voted the best remix 2003 by german Dance mag
Groove.
Not only these very good positions of Poker Flat and
Dessous artists and releases in the annual polls made
2004 a good year so far.It ‘s Poker Flat ‘s and Dessous ‘
fifth anniversary to be celebrated this year.
Furthermore,Steve forces his studio sessions,working
on his forthcoming third album,scheduled for end of
2004.
As a first result of his increased studio times,the sub-
series „Future Retro “on Poker Flat is going to be
launched in April 2004.Using minimized and only old
school equipment is the key.

, I've seen him 'bout 4 times in Belgium and he always rocked!
This is just what I've heard from promoters who have contacted they're booking agents. It stinks that we have to suffer because of Bush and his cronies. Oh well. Looks like we'll have to come overseas to hear these guys play. At least we can buy their music.
