Following on from Guido Schneider's enigmatic Focus On album, Poker Flat introduces the next in the series, Focus On: Argy. Comprised partly of new and exclusive productions by Argy alongside well known and upcoming names and highlights from his back catalog of releases and remixes, the mix acts as a showcase for Argy's unique style, influenced by strong, energetic peak-time house through to deep and spaced-out percussive journeys. Hot collaborations with Solomun, The Mole, Maral Salmassi, DJ Gregory, Jerome Sydenham and Bayoga traverse through an impeccable selection of modern house music. Each brand new and exclusive track featured on the release is a fresh collaboration between Argy and another producer or musician, and the concept dictates that both must have an active part in the recording of the track. Traversing the spectrum from the intense traveling grooves of "Anenome" with Solomun to the evolving percussive workout of "Under No Illusion" with percussionist Bayoga, there are endless delights on offer. Teaming up with Canadian-in-Berlin The Mole, the two producers' love of funked-up filtered sounds comes through like a sizzling afterhours jam, which contrasts rather nicely with the neo-tribal rhythms of the essential "Our Drums," a track produced alongside DJ Gregory. Jerome Sydenham gets in the studio with Argy and the result is a tranced-out deep and dramatic cut with powerful chords. Also featured in the mix are a number of future classics from Argy's blossoming back-catalog of releases and remixes, including the spectacular warehouse tribalism of "Love Dose," his debut release on Poker Flat, to the driving peak-time hot house of his "Legendary Bonus Beats Remix" of Jerome Sydenham's "Elbian." Focus On: Argy is a mature, dedicated and insightful journey into a true artist of our time. Other artists include: Texu, Romantic Touch and Ryo Murakami.
