QUOP: POKER FLAT RECORDINGS: STEVE BUG

Germany's minimal dance connoisseur, Steve Bug, DJ/producer and founder of one of the hottest international dance labels, Poker Flat records, is about to unleash his groove on Osaka for the first time this month. From the after hours of a small Ibiza bar back in '91 to residencies at London's Fabric and Sven Vath's Cocoon Club, Steve Bug is always crossing the bridges between house and techno with relaxed dignity, showing consequently that less can often be more. Poker Flat establishes itself as the number one source for stripped down futuristic house while his second label — the deep house oriented Dessous — shows Steve's passion for late night unhurried grooves. Steve Bug conti-nues playing with seductive and laid-back funk, dirty retro basslines and random bleeps, incorporating electro and techno, creating funky bare house and minimal moody seductive music. All this and more to be had as Osaka's freshest events team, 'quop', prepare to let loose their quirky pop, ultra modern minimal funk art concept upon Kansai. QUOP: v.i. To throb; to quiver. (local and vulgar)
