Although their number of collaborations is small, the chemistry between Berlin trio Afrilounge and Stuttgart's own Patrick Chardronnet is an undeniable part of the Poker Flat story. The Chardronnet vs. Afrilounge production collaboration arrived with a bang in 2005 with the squelchy tech house jam "Just For A Little Peek"; it turned into a breakout hit of the Poker Flat Four Compilation, and became the project's production calling card, brimming with suspense and irresistible melodies.
Following that same year came the group's EP Phonix, which honed in on the budding sound of funky minimal house with an electro influence, and intricate, sample-driven rhythm patterns. Years later in 2009, with demand showing no sign of waning, "Just For A Little Peek" finally earned a dedicated EP re-release, enhanced by new remixes from Gabriel Ananda and Sarah Goldfarb. Now on Audiomatique Recordings, the studio magic of Chardronnet vs. Afrilounge returns for the stunning collection of new tracks that makes up "What About Us". The title track reveals a deeper and more contemplative mood for 2014, with a pensive piano loop, a dark-toned deep house swing, and a vocal sample that speaks to the experiences of the disenfranchised. Chris Lattner's remix of the same provides a punchier and more dramatic rhythm track for maximum impact and a more urgent effect. B-side production "Morning Poem" harnesses the power spoken dialogue again, with a big filter of distortion, and wispy, whirring deep tech sounds tha testablish a late night feel.
Tracklist:
A1. What About Us
A2. What About Us (Chris Lattner Remix)
B. Morning Poem feat. Phetote the Poet

With Patrick Chardronnet, Poker Flat proudly presents another newcomer. The Stuttgart based producer has been producing music for quite a while, but his debut 12“ „Ledge“, was released no more than a couple of months ago on „Raum...Musik“. The track was also chosen by Steve Bug to open „Bugnology“ (pfrcd13). Patrick has also contributed two brilliant remixes for Martin Landsky‘s latest 12“ „FM Safari“ (Poker Flat 54). For his Poker Flat debut-12“ Patrick‘s teams up with the Afrilounge - a creative unit based in Stuttgart, for whom he did most of the production work. No more than a couple of weeks ago Patrick literally peeked out of the studio to play live for the very first time. The 12“ comes with two tracks and a dub version. „Phonix“ on the A- side is a fresh and very funky house-tune on the minimal road. The dub version comes in a more techy outfit with a tighter soundsetting. „Shake It“ on the b-side offers a full range of interesting sounds. Apart from the kickdrum, most of the „instruments“ are based on samples of household appliances Patrick had flying around in his homestudio.
