MONTAGE 003EP
|
The third release on Pooledmusic's techno-focused sister imprint, Montage, features Silvershower's Ice Fractions 1 (1996), the debut release of Ian Pooley's techno alias. The original Ice Fractions 1 arrived on Plus 8 Records showcased a tougher edge to Pooley's productions. In 2016, Pooley is still maintaining his high standards, revisiting and updating past work in the form of reissues & remixes and issuing fresh original material such. This new edition of the Ice Fractions 12" supplies the two original lead tracks and a 2016 remix of each by Pooley himself.

MONTAGE 001EP
|
Ian Pooley initiates his techno label Montage by resurrecting his Silvershower alias. Best known for a pair of 12"s released on Richie Hawtin's Plus 8 in 1996 (with a further EP (PLUS 8116EP) released on the same label in 2011), Silvershower has long been Pooley's preferred alias for his tougher, darker records. Following a great Berghain gig as Silvershower in 2013, Pooley decided the next step was to create an outlet for more original productions under the name, the first of which is the Damaged EP: three tracks combining a tougher intensity with Pooley's usual adeptness for dancefloor grooves.

PLUS 8116EP
|
German techno veteran Ian Pooley resurrects his Silvershower alias for his first release on Plus 8 since 1996. The EP finds Pooley moving into the shadows and pursuing a darker, rougher sound than the Brazilian-influenced productions for which he is best-known, nodding to Silvershower's past as well as moving the alias into the future: "Blue 2011" reworks a track from an older EP; "Early Fever" brings a more classically Chicago-influenced sound to the fore; while "Sinister" and "Whiteout" accentuate darker aspects.
