This Berlin DJ, with over twenty years into his career, Ian Pooley continues to embody the heart and soul of real house music.
As an ever-present favorite of house and techno fans and DJs, Pooley remains a highly regarded and respected figure within modern electronic music. Here in this classic summer dance song, A Better Life... perfect for a tea dance, always reminds me of my summers at that now shuttered Cloud 9 in Rehoboth Beach. In this track Ian is featuring Esthero, who is a Canadian singer-songwriter who currently lives in Los Angeles, California.
Esthero's sound characteristically features her voice over a mix of mellow bass lines, jazzy trumpets, Spanish guitar and hip-hop. She is sometimes compared to artists Björk, Portishead and Sade.
This is still one of the best collabs of house music. A sonic masterpiece
ReplyDeleteThis needed to be dusted off....a great , cool sounding summer song.

ReplyDeleteI think i need a change of scenery, Warm water, sunshine, and laughter.. I know that's right. Very soothing but dancy at that same time....loved it!
ReplyDeleteI never assumed I'd like dance music, but this is just beautiful music.
ReplyDeleteI like the danceable song. We only wish you were here in Brazil to see your men.
ReplyDeleteThe guitar is quite wonderful. Good tunes.
ReplyDeleteI have to say, you have the senior state lady here dancing her hips!!! Your always featuring such fresh sounding music without it being so main stream. And Esthero has an amazingly soothing voice.
ReplyDeleteI love this song!!!! I can see you driving around in that vintage Jag from last week's post listening to this.
ReplyDeleteThis is the perfect soundtrack to an unending summer day full of doing not much at all!
