Ian Pooley - artist offering music feedback on Echio

About

Low key, high quality. They're the four words that best sum up Ian Pooley. He has been a part of the underground from almost the moment house music arrived in Europe, and has been helping to shape it ever since. His authentic take on the genre has brought in fresh influences over the years, but never at the expense of his signature sound or in favour of a cheap hit. He’s as well informed as DJs come, so to hear him play is always a thrill. Pooley cannot remember a time without music. He basically grew up being a DJ and producer. From his earliest days in Mainz, it was the sounds of Chicago and Detroit that turned his ear. Because of that he always played more housey than many of his peers and that soon stood him apart. That same heart and soul that first appealed to him has always defined his music and helped him connect with multiple generations while serving up plenty of essential releases. His Meridian and Since Then albums were high watermarks for house music full-lengths, while

    Hello Ian, Many thanks for the feedback. Yes, I don't have any musical theory background and it is something that I will start study immediately. No doubt it is my biggest fault. By the way, the steps sound are from JuraSynth - a Juno emulation for MPC ONE . I love it so much that I want to buy a real Juno! But first, music theory. P.S . The weather is great here!
