Ian Pooley returns to Pooledmusic with his first solo EP of original material on the label since his 2013 album What I Do. The intervening period has seen Pooley release another hugely popular EP for Innervisions and launch Pooledmusics techno-focused sister label Montage with a pair of new releases under his tougher Silvershower alias, while labels including Figure, Rejected and Scenario have been mining his rich back catalogue to re-release some of his best loved classic productions.
Sales Information:
The Turakina EP follows Pooledmusic’s previous two EPs from the label’s extended family, SHOW-B and Indira Paganotto, in 2014. Whereas 2015’s focus was on the launch of Montage, 2016 welcomes Pooley back to his main imprint with another three-track 12” that mines the expressive, textured house music that won Pooley a new generation of fans on his Innervisions releases. 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, subtly bringing a sense of compelling urgency. 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, conveying the same sense of dancefloor drama, while the Dub take 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, who recently passed away at 12 years of age.
