Ian Pooley makes his debut appearance on Simple to kick start what is shaping up to be a bumper year for the label. German Ian Pooley hails from Mainz but recently found a new home in Berlin. Ian is well known as a remixer and for his own prolific output bridging the gap between techno and house, creating superb tracks such as the massive >Celtic Cross< & >Chord Memory< on the Force Inc. Music Works, as well as recording more housier and disco orientated workouts for labels such as John Acquavivas Definitive Recordings, Effective Records and NRK Sound Division. Ian has also remixed for Daft Punk, The Cardigans, The Beloved, Green Velvet, Modjo, Nick Holder and many more. Ian has recorded two albums for V2 Records, his debut >Meridian< was a classic late 90s Pooley album, full of tech-house delights and including the massive >Whats Your Number< as remixed by Jazzanova and Bob Sinclair. Followed by huge albums >Souveniers< and >Since Then<, and most recently >In Other Words< featuring Robert Owens, Tim Fuller and Perry Colo. Most recently hes been busy DJing across the globe, producing new music for the likes of us and producing for artists such as Get Physicals DJ T. Nightscape - A deep, heads down house groove that locks you in with its lovingly crafted percussion and beautifully bouncy bassline, whilst the wistful, melancholic pads are food for the soul. Ians 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 >Eight Mix< Ian reworks the stabs and bass-line and pushes out a more straight ahead groove
