Redshape Funny Green Hat (Altered мiх)

Poker Flat continues to roar ahead into 2011 with a seriously jam-packed new compilation on CD, Vinyl and Digital, featuring only brand new and exclusive tracks!

‚Forward to the Past‘, according to label boss Steve Bug, ‚renders homage to the period between ‚85 and ‚92‘, traversing the heady sounds of Chicago House, Acid, New York House and Early Detroit Techno.

The album amasses an all star cast from across the board including the talents of Steve Bug, Martin Landsky, Clé, Redshape, Ribn, The Revenge, Deetron, Sasse, KiNK & Neville Watson and more. ‚Forward To The Past‘ takes in many of todays rising talents alongside faithful veterans of the scene. It‘s really a joy to hear how these top class producers, both vintage and modern, each add their own spin and re-interpret the sounds of the past. Complete with audiophile-approved analog tape mastering, and the highest production values around, its a wonderful tribute to the past, present and future of electronic music!

Opening the selection Steve Bug puts on his jackin‘ shoes in ‚Jack Is Back‘ – a classic Chicago jack-a-thon in the purest form. Martin Landsky continues the US-inspired journey with ‚V2U‘, the man is always on form! Bleep-infused moments come courtesy of the modern masters KiNK & Neville Watson, with ‚Nighttime Raw‘, while Sasse pumps out a seriously heavy windy city-styled attack in ‚Hot For You‘.

Much-loved newcomer The Revenge contributes ‚Elements of Fife‘, a slow grooving New York / Chicago crossover styled beauty. Then, in all out lush-chorded goodness, Ribn gives us their powerful ‚Pancake‘! Newblood Polus hit dead centre with a modern yet hauntingly reminiscent nighttime jam; ‚Patterns In The Dark‘, followed by Deetron‘s deep-bomb ‚The Maze‘ – an amazing journey through the smoke-filled labyrinth.

Berlin mainstay Clé takes us right back with his super funky ‚Feel It (Don‘t Cha Know)‘, warm and classy. Deepsters TJ Kong & Modular K give us their ‚Jack Shit‘ in a slow burning Chi-town acid groover. Cab Drivers return with a real classic-themed killer, ‚Shoulder Pad‘, that harks back to their 90‘s days, and finally the mighty Redshape gives us his darkly acidic ‚Funny Green Hat (Altered Mix), which seriously needs to be heard to be believed!!

The digital release also features three extra tracks, including the original version of Redshape‘s ‚Funny Green Hat‘, along with an alternate version of The Revenge‘s ‚Elements Of Fife (Tone Mix) and another exclusive from Clé – the excellent ‚Muzik Is‘.

Gui Boratto, Martin Eyerer – The Island

Two names synonymous with melody, style, and forward thinking, Brazil’s Gui Boratto and Germany’s own Martin Eyerer presented two hot productions on Audiomatique. Full of musicality and the worldly presence of two seasoned globetrotters, this international collaboration represented newly chartered territories, standing tall and proud above the dense fog of the mainstream.

With the arrival of the title cut, The Island, Boratto & Eyerer offered easy, jacking beats which skipped amongst a rousing synth melody, filtering carefully and capturing the listener in hypnotic and uplifting swells of sound. Straight to the point, its memorable hook only calmed in the later moments, allowing the solid energy of the percussive elements to have their say. It was half club track, half open air magic moment.

On the B-side of this two-part journey, listeners witnessed the softer synth theme of The Beach, perhaps derived from classical piano roots, which took the role of storyteller. A beautiful contrast occurred between the padded notation of the central melodies and the crisp crunch of the claps and kicks that underpinned the track. Perhaps intended for an impromptu late night beach soirée, be it in Brazil, Germany or afar, this melancholic piece of electronics became another hybrid of club functionality and natural musical sentiment.

This unmissable package, the first collaboration between two highly acclaimed producers, confirmed that the multi national culture held great promise for the future of cutting edge music.

“I put this mix together in my studio, inspired by the energy and direction house music is taking right now — fresh, vibrant, and uplifting. While recording, I couldn’t help but feel a connection to the vibe of New York’s house scene from back in the day. I’ve included my new track, Sunshine Everyday, along with others that bring good energy and positive vibes. If you need a boost to get through the day, this mix should do the trick”
