When you’re talking about techno and house, the seminal “Chord Memory” by Frankfurt’s Ian Pooley took the world by storm 1996. One of the first tech house records, “Chord Memory” followed Pooley’s 1995 monster “Celtic Cross.” This single cemented Pooley as one of the most prolific house music producers of the era. And, he continues to release music on his own label, mainly fusing Brazillian rhythms with house music.

As reported on Pitchfork, The Roots just announced that Estelle and Gym Class Heroes will be joining them on the majority of their upcoming U.S. tour dates. The band will be finishing up a string of festival dates in Europe before heading over to the States in early September.
