PLD 039EP
|
Ian Pooley revisits his beloved 1998 album Meridian with four brand new remixes. Belfast house stars Bicep apply their remix magic for "Cold Wait" streamlining it into a chunky UK house thumper. Oskar Offermann delivers a subtle, grooving UK Garage-inspired take on "Hit N' Run". The B side finds two alternate takes on "What's Your Number" by Mathias 'SHOW-B' Schober, whose remixes manifest themselves in a starry-eyed version that elevates the original's melancholic side, plus a stripped back "Beats N' FX" tool.

PLD 038EP
|
Ian Pooley returns to Pooled Music with Turakina EP. The A-side, "Turakina", is a classic Pooley groove, stripped down to its elements then layered with melodic detail that builds over the course of the track. The B-side finds two versions of the deeper, more emotional "Mudou". The original version is in the same "miniature epic" mold of 2012 hit "Compurhythm", while the dub takes a lighter touch to tease out even more of its melancholic nature. The Turakina EP is dedicated to the loving memory of Pooley's beloved dog Basil.

REJ 034EP

Ian Pooley stormed the techno scene back in 1996 when his classic "Chord Memory" was first released on Force Inc. This powerful track left both Joris Voorn and Edwin Oosterwal awe-inspired, and they are proud to finally re-release it on their label Rejected.

Ian Pooley shares the next part of his legacy with his fifth album, What I Do, after a four-year hiatus. Twenty years into his professional career, he is regarded as both a cult underground DJ and established mainstream producer. As one of the only artists that walks the path between the two, his latest work builds on his past and delivers a polished body of work that sounds both classic and fresh. In the past, Pooley has scoured influences from around the globe -- Detroit, Chicago, Brazil, etc., playing with funk with an emphasis on the groove. Over the course of 15 tracks, What I Do walks a similarly tactile path, refreshing the listener on Pooley's full-bodied and engaging approach but realigning his signature sound. Following on from a critically-appraised release on Innervision, tracks such as "Compurhythm" and "Tale of the Big City" connect firmly with the dancefloor, but also glow with a timelessness not often found in modern day electronic music, while additions such as "Get It On" allow Pooley to experiment with slow hip-hop rhythms and stimulating frequencies. Pooley's vast collection of analog gear and wealth of experience result in a smooth finesse. Pooley is still more than capable of delivering polished productions, learned from his past as a major label recording artist -- "1983" featuring guest vocals from Högni Egilsson and the driving vocal of "Bring Me Up" featuring Dominique Keegan are prime examples. But the move from the major to the underground can be heard in the music with the synth-led journeys and crisp drum rhythms at the heart of this album. The shift from V2 to his own label Pooled Music for this album also firmly states an intention, a step that allows him to develop new artists. Six years since he left his home in Mainz for Berlin, Pooley refuses to surrender to the status quo. He has ripened into an artist unable to be second-guessed and capable of covering more musical territory than most can dream of trying in a lifetime.

SIMPLE 936EP
|
Ian Pooley makes his debut appearance on Simple to kick start what is shaping up to be a bumper year for the label. 'Nightscape' is a deep, heads down house groove that locks you in with itʼs lovingly crafted percussion and beautifully bouncy bassline, whilst the wistful, melancholic pads are food for the soul. Ianʼs experience in production shines throughout the EP, making the tracks as much of a delight on the head phones as they are on a Function One soundsystem. 'Difference (Jupiter/Eight Mixes)' - Intricate percussive rhythms combine with a rubbery bassline and rich poly stabs to set the tone. Strings build and release the tension and a delicate piano riff brings the soul. The evolution of the patterns sees a heady crescendo for the floor. For the ʻEight Mixʼ Ian reworks the stabs and bass-line and pushes out a more straight ahead groove."
