Germany’s Poker Flat label has a brand-new compilation in the works, and is set to drop the record on April 4. The 12-track offering is called Forward to the Past, and will feature only brand-new, exclusive tracks from the likes of Kink, Redshape, label head Steve Bug (pictured above), Martin Landsky, and others. According to Bug, his label’s new compilation “renders homage to the period between ’85 and ’92, traversing the heady sounds of Chicago house, acid, New York house, and early Detroit techno.” A 12″ single for Bug’s “Jack is Back” tune will drop ahead of Forward to the Past, on March 15.
