Ian Pooley - Since Then. (25th Anniversary Edition) [Pooledmusic]

Format: 2x12".

A sonic capsule wrapped in summer rhythms

When Since Then first appeared in 2000, it felt like opening a window to a distant, sun-drenched place, where gentle Brazilian rhythms danced naturally to the beat of deep house. Now, a quarter of a century later, the album returns on vinyl for the first time, not as a relic, but as a timeless companion.

This re-release offers more than music: it breathes new life into a moment when sound, place, and emotion merged into something unforgettable. Pooley was ahead of his time, interweaving South American textures with arrangements designed for the dancefloor. Tracks like “900 Degrees” and “Balmes (A Better Life)” continue to shine with warmth and clarity, with melodies that float with a lightness that refuses to age.
