Repress of this banging doublepack that originally came out in 1996 on iconic Definitive Records, runned by Richie Hawtin & John Acquaviva. Re-mastered edition on solid 180 gramms vinyl.
There's rather a lot of gold in Ian Pooley's back catalogue, as during the 1990s he was arguably one of Europe's most in-form house producers. ChiWax is certainly aware of the treasure waiting to be reissued, because they've chosen to deliver a new edition of the German's 1995 double-pack for Canadian label Definitive Recordings, Relations. Full to bursting with tracks that add a touch of dancefloor funk to a classically warming, U.S-inspired deep house sound, it's a set that sounds every bit as alluring now as it did 27 years ago. Our picks include the acid-flecked brilliance of 'Feel It', the sweaty bump of 'Sorority', the Cajmere-esque sleaziness of 'The Move' and the wild, twisted, acid-fired percussive insanity of 'Re-Linked'.
