Steve Bug – Let's Work [Nu Groove Records] NG 174

A1: Let's Work A2: Mr Wonders AA1: Not The First Time AA2: Whispers In The Dark (Featuring – Juliet Mendoza) - Poker Flat Recordings founder and all-round German underground dance legend Steve Bug continues his relationship with the reborn Nu Groove label. Surprisingly, this is his first solo EP for the legendary NYC label, following a sequence of releases alongside regular studio buddy Cle. Bug starts in warehouse ready mode via the memorable piano riffs, jacking house drums and suspenseful synth strings of 'Let's Work', before doffing a cap to the Burrell Brothers, Larry Heard and early Moby on 'Mr Wonders'. 'Not The First Time' is a jacking, locked-in late-night acid house roller, while 'Whispers In The Dark', featuring a seductive spoken word vocal by Juliet Mendoza, is deep, dreamy and lightly acid-clad.
