Biografie Steve Bug

Expertul german in minimal dance,Steve Bug si-a inceput cariera de DJ intr-un mic bar de after-hour din Ibiza,in 1991.In scurt timp a devenit rezident in cel mai bun club din Bremen si a fost solicitat sa participe la cele mai mari evenimente din Germania,cum ar fi Love Parade.

Realizand o trecere relaxanta intre house si techno si de multe ori dovedind faptul ca putin inseamna mult, Steve Bug isi castiga reputatia de parinte al tech-house-ului minimal si unul dintre pionierii muzicii electronice din Germania. Poker Flat devine astfel sursa principala pentru muzica house futurista, oferind genuri muzicale diferite. Promovarea label-ului a fost foarte rapida si datorita hitului "Loverboy" din 1999 - piesa ce se regaseste pe albumul "The Other Day", primul lansat la Poker Flat.

Pentru cel de-al doilea sau label - Dessous, Steve alege sa promoveze un stil house mai linistit, pentru noptile tarzii si astfel, prin asocierea cu Vicenzo, apare proiectul Discowboys.

O noua compilatie "Steve Bug presents The Flow" a fost lansat la Coocon Records in 2001, iar Steve remixeaza Robotman, ADNY a.k.a. Alexi Delano, Antonelli Electr. feat. Miss Kittin si multi altii la label-uri cum ar fi Raum...musik, Italic, Turbo Records si bineinteles Poker Flat Recordings.

In 2002 Steve Bug lanseaza cel de-al 3-lea sau album "Sensual" si colaboreaza in studio cu Richie Hawtin pentru piesa "Low Bow" lansata la label-ul Minus si de asemenea colaboreaza cu Common Factor pentru o piesa lansata la Tactile. Au urmat remixuri pentru Funk DVoid, Jeff Samuel, Freaks si ce-a de-a 3-a compilatie "Da Minimal Funk".

Steve Bug "se joaca" in continuare cu un stil funk lejer, linii de bass retro, diferite "bleep-uri" si incorporeaza techno, electro si funk realizand un sound minimal si seductiv. Piese lansate ulterior, cum ar fi Future Retro 101, Traffic Signs (1 si 3), demonstreaza inca o data pasiunea lui Steve Bug pentru ringurile de dans. In ultimul timp, Steve lucreaza la o noua compilatie si la un nou album ce va fi lansat la label-ul Poker Flat.

Dupa succesul Bugnology 1, Steve Bug revine cu volumul doi al compilatiei, pentru care a ales piesele favorite folosite in DJ seturile sale. Bugnology 2 este un mix-CD neobisnuit. Fiecare piesa este editata, taiata si reconstruita digital. Rezultatul este o calatorie hipnotizanta, eleganta si aventuroasa prin house-ul si techno-ul actual.
