2x12" version. Poker Flat proudly presents Collaboratory, Steve Bug's fourth artist album. Based strongly on the ideas of collaboration, shared ideas, mutual respect for fellow artists and the strength of combining forces in the studio, Steve chose some very special producers and vocalists to work with on this exciting project. From Berlin natives and well-known high-climbers Cassy and Clé (of Märtini Brös), to one-half of the Detroit Grand Pubahs aka Paris The Black Fu, ace producers and equally dexterous vocalists are assured. The Southern Hemisphere's hottest new export, Simon Flower features with Bug on their teasing cut "Passing Clouds," while Minimise boss and techno legend Donnacha Costello also goes head-to-head with the Poker Flat maestro in the studio. That's not to forget the stunning vocals from Brazilian talent Virginia Nascimento on the slow-spun "Trust In Me," and the classic Chi-Town cut "Like It Should Be," on which Helsinki's Gigi makes a magical, rare appearance, sharing her inspiring and heartfelt message. While the snappier moments of the album will work dancefloors into a frenzy, the whole album breathes an analog warmth which is hard to find these days and which underlines the organic character of a fantastic, song-based album. Steve Bug chose the finest analog equipment, outboard gear and an analog console to create an album which is also, sound-wise, a true masterpiece.
