Following on from Guido Schneider’s enigmatic ‘Fo- cus On’ Album last year, Poker Flat are especially proud to introduce the next in the series, in the scin- tillating form of Focus On: Argy. Comprising partly of new and exclusive produc- tions by Argy with a strong handful of well known and up-coming names, and highlights from his back- catalogue of releases and remixes, the mix acts as a showcase for Argy’s unique style, taking influence from strong, energetic peak time house through to deep and spaced out percussive journeys. Hot col- laborations with Solomun, The Mole, Maral Salmassi, Dj Gregory, Jerome Sydenham and Bayoga all open up various mindsets, various avenues of Argy’s musi- cal passions, as we traverse through an impeccable selection of modern house music. Not wishing to conform to the rules of a mainstream house Dj-compilation, Argy takes a bold and clear stance when it comes to the structure of the mix. The first three tracks start things running strong, as if you’ve just arrived in the middle of a peak-time set, with the phasing chord stabs from Argy’s Remix of Jerome Sydenham’s Ebian melting into the powerful bass of ‘The Storm’. It’s a soaring, urgent introduc- tion that’s wonderfully unconventional and captures the complete spirit of Argy’s idealology. These tracks were designed for the dancefloor, and it spells out the intentions of the mix with style and honesty. From there on things become more cerebral, with Argy’s debut hit on Poker Flat, ‘Love Dose’, introducing a passage where time is frozen and the party begins to unfold at its own heady pace. From there on we are simply left in the delightful and submissive position of the Listener, as the introduction also serves as a con- tract between Argy and his audience. We are now completely under his spell... locked in and Focused On. Each track is clearly introduced with a defined mixing style, announcing each new moment to the audience and making a spectacle of the variety and depth of music on offer. ‘I would never dare to approach an album without a concept,’ Argy divulges, and its clear from listen- ing to both the exclusive vinyl tracks, and the hour long mix, that he means what he says. Each brand new and exclusive track featured on the vinyl 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. Argy wanted to try something new, something very rare, which is to group together collaborations with various other artists in the form of an album, and is a highly-focused album at that, exploring as any different dancefloor possibilities as are possible within his sound. Traversing the spectrum from the intense travelling grooves of ‘Anenome’, with Solomun, a track that is perhaps the most energetic trip on show here, to the evolving percussive workout of ‘Under No Illu- sion’, with percussionist Bayoga, there are endless delights on offer.
