Poker Flat chief Steve Bug steps up to mix the latest installment in the Fabric series. An innovator, minimal dance connoisseur, tech house master – a head of the game – though he’s been given many prestigious titles, if there’s one quality that can be best attributed to Steve Bug, it would be modesty.
For his Fabric mix, Bug promises a close representation of a Bug night in Farringdon: “I wanted to make the fabric mix atmospheric, with the occasional track where things go off! I think it typifies a set at fabric. When I was doing the Bugnology series, I was trying to compile all the records I was playing at that time. However, the mix for fabric will be much more influenced by my sets in fabric: it will be a perfect snapshot of how I play at the club.”
Despite the fact that he’s now largely regarded as one of the founding fathers of minimal – creating his ‘Da Minimal Funk’ compilation over 10 years ago – and one of the most sought-after 4/4 DJs booked today, Bug remains truly humble when reflecting on the majestic rise from his beginnings as a dancefloor-dwelling clubber in Bremen, Germany to ruling his renowned Dessous/Poker Flat empire in Berlin.
These days, as a DJ, producer and label owner, Bug is credited as being a fundamental instigator in the movement of house, techno and that ever-present word, minimal, in Europe. Catch the bug and indulge in the kind of infectious mix that gets more addictive with each listen.

Eagerly awaiting news of the next Steve Bug tour...his Fabric is killer, far better than the Fuse mix. This one is tidy too.
