HOUSE IAN POOLEY Nameless, La Belle Angele, Edinburgh, Fri 20 Sep
listings Clubs
One of; ' 5
Far too often, when people talk about dance music being ‘global’, they’re talking about New York, London and Tokyo without considering that there might be a few places in between. There’s no danger of German house DJ Ian Pooley making the same mistake. When I ask him where he’s played this weekend, I was expecting a few major German cities, perhaps somewhere in France or the UK. Not on your life. ‘I played on Thursday in Macedonia and on Friday at a club in Bratislava, in Slovakia,’ Pooley explains. ‘There’s been stuff going on there for a while — it’s close to Austria and there’s quite a lot of crossover; they book the international DJs. It’s a small scene, but it’s a pretty good one.’
Pooley himself is a symptom of the power beats have to cross borders. He started listening to early US techno-jocks like Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson while studying at Mainz Grammar school and soon, with friend Thomas Gerlach (aka DJ Tonka) began putting tracks out as Force Inc. Before long, they went their separate ways, and Pooley signed to Virgin offshoot V2. His debut for the label, Meridian, showed he was as happy to dabble in soul as he was to pump out floorfillers, and follow-up Since Then featured live vocals as well as a distinctly Brazilian flavour.
In between a rigorous DJing schedule, Pooley has been working on new tracks that sound like they’ll represent a further evolution in his style. ‘There’s going to be a fairly similar vibe to the last album,’ he says, ‘but with even more guests, and live guitars - and we’ve got a guy playing percussion on it. But I don’t play any of my tracks at clubs. That would be boring for me.’ (James Smart)
