From the Berkson & What album "10 Years Retrospective", Released 2015-09-11,Poker Flat Recordings
On Poker Flat: http://PokerFlat.lnk.to/Berkson-What-10Year

Since their first 12inch in 2006, Dan Berkson and James What's musical odyssey has been relentless and relentlessly impressive, taking in standout live gigs around the world from Sonar to Fusion to Fabric to Panorama Bar, the launch of the MODELMAKER label and their debut album 'Keep Up Appearances', and a constant stream of releases that encapsulate their signature take on the tech house sound. Throughout that time, Poker Flat has been home base, to which they now return for an essential anthology gathering favourite tracks and remixes from a thrilling decade.
The compilation kicks off with their reimagining of Daniela Stickroth's 'Ghost In The Attic' - a deeply immersive groove full of shimmering details and dubby clatter, where every element unfolds organically. Also from 2006, 'The Dig' teems with subtle ideas, contrasted with a playful, upfront synth riff and a brutal, no frills machinemusic climax. As you'd expect, everything that follows is more than worthy of highlight status, from the air of menace and mystery conjured by 'Cantina' to the booming groove of 'Ghosts', the rhythmic pings and pulses of 'Last Train' to the deep funkiness of 'In Person'.
Along the way, a depth and breadth of tones, textures and moods are evidenced testimony to the duo's eclectic tastes and perpetual ability to invent and innovate. 'If I Was A Man', 'Onika' and 'Reflections' display their love of spoken word performance and hypnotic minimalism, the latter featuring Robert Owens in decidedly gruff mood. 'Psychedelic Underground' builds into a complex, enveloping jacktrack. The remix of D'julz's 'Runny' and 'Make It True' (a recent release on Seth Troxler's Play It Say It label) showcase blue tinged chord sequences and dreamy atmospheres before the Detroit vibes of 'Seraphim' and the hands-in-the-air synths of 'Keep On' bring the compilation to a truly memorable climax.
With a slew of upcoming releases scheduled on Dogmatik, Get Weird and Play It Say it in the offing, this is a brilliant primer to a duo whose works go from strength to strength

There have been few record labels that have made such an indelible mark on the landscape of electronic music as Poker Flat. Founded by Steve Bug in 1999, the label coined a sound and style that dominated club culture for years. Glitchy, mechanised beats paired with moody pads and sinister chords would take hold of the club scene in the mid 00s, but Poker Flat championed these stripped-back sounds well ahead of the pack.
With a back catalogue that includes more than 300 releases, it’s no surprise that many of these remain club staples to this day. Many artists now recognised as household names got their first break with Poker Flat, and the label prides itself on discovering and championing the next wave of artists.
Key to Poker Flat’s success has been their refusal to chase after trends, instead remaining focussed on the sound with which they established themselves. Their aim for the future is to continue to keep putting out exceptional electronic music from exceptional artists.
