The fifth ever label compilation from Steve Bug’s Poker Flat promises to capture the essence of the labels current and upcoming releases. “Poker Flat Volume 5 : Bets’n’Bluffs” is a two disc release with the label boss kindly selecting tracks for numero uno and Steve’s mate Martin Landsky lovingly mixing up 13 select cuts for the second outing.
Poker Flat was started back in 1998 by Steve Bug who has since then successfully built a formidable empire with the help from some talented friends. In the last eight years Steve and the gang have notched up an overwhelming number of singles as well as plenty of albums like Bug’s “Other Day” and most recently the highly anticipated debut album from Trentemoller, “The Last Resort”.
“Poker Flat Volume 5 : Bets’n’Bluff” features music by label stalwarts Martini Bros and Guido Schneider, some newer names like Dan Berkson & James What, and also some outside help from Luciano and Sten (aka Lawrence) on remix duties.
"Poker Flat Volume 5 : Bets’n’Bluffs” will be released on November 20.
