Songpot · Amsterdam Dance Event 2026

Warm house records with a German-techno spine: disco strings, chunky drums, Chicago swing, and a clean, muscular low end. His set at a PIV night should lean soulful and propulsive rather than peak-rave, with room for older crossover cuts like 'Chord Memory'.

More about Ian Pooley

Mainz-born producer and DJ from the German nu school circle alongside Mousse T and DJ Tonka. He bridged house and techno in the 1990s, with 'Chord Memory' and 'Celtic Cross' becoming durable records in club culture and on DJ lists.
