Popping up on labels like 8Bit, Supernature and Tsuba, releasing quality tech-house and club-assured cuts since 2008, Poker Flat is delighted to welcome German producer Alex Niggemann to the label. This new EP raises Niggemann‘s game with three tracks taking in heavy acid bass, chicago-house vibes and inventive, smooth flowing arrangements.
“This release on Poker Flat is a step in a direction where I always was in my head and always wanted to be music-wise; It’s a kind of music I always loved and produced but never got the chance to release. If you remember, I did a similar one on Tsuba at the end of 2010, which was produced in Spring 2010.. I just love rough Detroit/Chicago influenced Techno-House with wired and dark synths and I’m really proud of this whole EP. I’m very happy to release it on Steve’s Poker Flat label. I love the whole EP, as it’s definitely the best record I’ve done so far…” Alex Niggemann
“Lately” is a real stomper in the classic Poker Flat tradition. Haunting, acidic, modern, club guaranteed! Niggemann twists a spooky and funky synth line around a heavy old-school house vibe, complete with a thoughtful smokey-voiced narration. ” Madness” lifts the tension higher with a sub-heavy chigaco bass attack, 2011 style. Alex has fused the best of both old and new and found a new sound that leaves behind rigid sound in favour of more funky, warmer and totally fresh vibes! The EP concludes with “Smash Your Face”, a groovy houser that rolls wonderfully with more growling square wave bass and plenty of details to keep the flow nothing short of riveting!
