Proving electronic music has come a long, long way since C+C Music Factory, preeminent German techno/house label Poker Flat Recordings will soon release an expansive mega-set entitled Poker Flat Volume 1-4: The Ultimate Box-Set Collection. Poker Flat, founded by Steve Bug and home to beloved producers like Håkan Lidbo and Märtini Brös, celebrates six years of cutting choice twelve-inches and occasional CDs with the December 6 release.

We bluff you not: the six-disc scorcher compiles more than 80 tracks, including exclusives from John Tejada, Martin Landsky, and others, as well as cuts from Swayzak, Jimmy Edgar, Richie Hawtin, Josh Wink, and Detroit Grand Pubahs. Live turntable mixes by Tejada and Landsky fill two of the discs, while the last was mixed by Seattle DJ Jeff Samuel. The whole enchilada clocks in at over seven hours.
