Biography

Pooley's music career began in 1993.[1] Fascinated by producers in Chicago and Detroit he brought his first machines and immediately started writing house and techno music which kick-started a decade spanning career playing to hugely diverse audiences.[2] In 1998 Pooley made his sole appearance on the prestigious BBC Radio One Essential Mix which featured tracks by Slam, Jeff Mills and his own productions. After a long stretch with V2 Records in which Pooley released several very successful albums (Meridian and Since Then) Pooley left V2 and started his own record company, Pooled Music, in 2003.[1]

Ian Pooley has also cited on various albums (Brazilution 5.3 and Souvenirs being two) that he had an audible 'click' when listening to Brazilian music at a night club. As such, a lot of his music has a noticeable Brazilian flavor to it. He has incorporated artists like Rosanna and Zelia and veteran musician Marcos Valle in some of his works.

In addition to original works, Pooley has remixed artists such as Deee-Lite, The Cardigans, Daft Punk, Cirque du Soleil, Carl Cox and Bob Sinclar.[3]
