Steve Bug is part of Sven Vath's Cocoon crew. It seems as though the Germans are in top form right now.

Steve Bug has done a lot of work with other minimal artists, guys like Thomas Brinkmann, Matthew Herbert and Mike Ink. Bug is booked exclusively through Cocoon, and there is apparently a mix complilation in the works that Cocoon will release.
Bug's first releases were on Tobias Lampe's label "Superstition Recordings" in the mid 90's. By '95 (I think) he'd started his own label called "Raw Elements". The Raw Elements signature sound was bleepy minimal funk, whereas his new(er) label Poker Flat (1999) concentrates more on the deep house sound.
I seriously can't wait to see this guy, he's been one of my favourite producers for a while now, and I missed him when he played at Life (though I'm not sure I would have gone, I hate that club!).
