Poker Flat’s Forward To The Past anthology returns in its 3rd iteration, as lean and mean as it ever was and precision- engineered to make you jack, dream and all things in between. The winning formula remains the same: task a selection of hots- hot veteran and up-and-coming producers with recapturing the style and mood of early club music, paying homage to the golden years between 1985 and 1992 when Chicago House and Acid, New York House and Detroit Techno took the world and its dancefloors by storm. The result is a coll- ection of new and exclusive tracks as ad- dictive as the stone cold classics that in- fluenced them – a tribute and, at the same time, the cutting edge of contemporary music production.

LA-based compatriot MANIK contributes a rolling, no-frills jam that sticks to the tried and tested production values of early acid as if to say, “Why mess with perfection?”

From his small Amsterdam studio crammed with classic drum machines and synths, Wouter de Moor serves up ‘Bon Voyage’, a simmering analogue acid jam bedecked with snickering percussive flourishes and long, sustained chords for that blue-tinged Detroit vibe.

Pavel Iudin, meanwhile, adds jazzy Rhodes inflections and whistling birdsong to a similarly bubbling groove.

Veteran DJ Aakmael adopts the classic Juno bass sound to pay homage to the godfather of deep, Larry Heard, for an exercise in immersive repetition.
