The creative relationship between Steve Bug and Josh Wink runs deeper than most people realise. Back in 1999, Wink remixed Bug's landmark minimal house cut Loverboy for Poker Flat, two artists recognising something kindred in each other across the Atlantic. That mutual appreciation has evidently never faded.

Bug has spent over three decades as one of the European underground's most enduring forces; founding Poker Flat Recordings in 1998 as a platform for minimal house that helped define a generation's relationship with the dancefloor, with releases on Cocoon, Minus, Bedrock, Defected, and Knee Deep In Sound alongside his own Dessous and Sublease Music imprints.

Wink meanwhile built Philadelphia's warehouse scene from the inside, co-founding Ovum Recordings with King Britt in 1994 and unleashing Higher State of Consciousness on an unsuspecting world in 1995; a track that topped dance charts across Europe and whose 30th anniversary was celebrated in 2025. His remix credits since then include Radiohead, Moby, Depeche Mode, and The Rolling Stones.

Go Back brings the two together for their debut as a collaborative unit on Laurent Garnier and Oliver Way's COD3 QR imprint; a label that has previously hosted Waveform Transmitter exclusives from ProOne79. The pair has played b2b sets in the past, and remixed each others productions as we mentioned already; this feels like a natural progression and, to be honest, we’re surprised it has taken this long.
