This is the sixth compilation from the world-renowned and continually expanding Poker Flat imprint. Just like the notorious dead man's hand in a high stakes all-nighter, this double LP release is full of carefully-judged mind games and more than a few winning surprises. Compared to previous Poker Flat albums, Dead Man's Hand takes a deeper route, reflecting the label's latest developments. The first half of the compilation is dealt out in traditional style by none other than label head and DJ and producer Steve Bug. Key cuts include the disco versatility of Bug and Clé's "Behind the Curtains," and the mischievous bass assault of Martin Landsky's "Man High."
