Steve Bug has been in the business of making and releasing music for more than 15 years, but Collaboratory, which he’ll release via his own Poker Flat imprint June 8, is only his fourth artist full-length to date.

No mystery as to what the Germany-based DJ/producer has up his sleeve for this release. As its title indicates, Collaboratory is conceptualized around shared ideas and collaborations, and the list of vocalists and producers on the new album includes Martini Bros member Clé, techno DJ/producer Cassy, Paris the Black Fu (of Detroit Grand Pubahs, and several others.

Bug is promising not just club bangers this time around, but also several mellower tracks better suited to the quiet nights at home. “Two of a Kind” is the first single off the album, and is available now.

Festivities for his Poker Flat label’s 10th Anniversary continue, with Bug holding several performances around Europe in the company of his roster. He’s sandwiched some of his own dates in between those, including a few North American shows.
