Podcast #38: Ian Pooley Mixtape

This week’s Gomma Podcast comes from – as we think – Germany’s House producer No 1. As early as the 1990ies Ian Pooley was around like no one else. People like Deee-Lite, The Cardigans, Daft Punk, Carl Cox and Bob Sinclar where asking him for remixes. He was playing something like 200 gigs every year. Now he is back. With a fabulous remix for Telonius’ Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick and this nice little mixtape.

Tracklist:
1) Pepe Bradock – Deep Burnt
2) Rick Wade – Creeper
3) James Teej – Seven Day Mend (Pooley Edit)
4) David Squillace – What About The Vice
5) Pezzner – What Have I done (Pooley Mix 2)

Moullinex – Chocolat EP (Maxi)

Release: 7 January 2011
Cat#: Gomma DT 024

Sunset Boogie? Beach House? Mocassin Funk? Prog Disco ? We have been hearing many funny names for the new Moullinex sound. Whatever you call it: One thing is clear: you can hear very well where this music has been made: 5 minutes from the beach. It’s sweet, it’s beautiful, it’s romantic – but it is still super danceable and effective on the dance floor. Luis Gomes lives and works in Portugal. And he dj’s all around the world. He knows how to bring together the sun and the moon. The beach and the dancefloor. A great next step after his successful previous Superman EP.
