The Pool

We are thrilled to welcome the indefinable dub innovator to the Pool roster.

Hailing from the mythical English town of Breadminster, Elijah Minnelli has been expanding the boundaries of dub through the prisms of folk, cumbia, reggae and cosmic reverberation.

With a new 4 track EP ‘Socket and Ball’ coming via tastemaker label on 6th March 2026 (see clip in slide 2). Minnelli continues to establish his unique dub-wise sound, fusing eastern & western folk influences with cumbia and earthy drones, culminating in his own distinct sonic world and ever evolving lore.

In the words of , Elijah’s music could be described as “earthy, rootsy mutations on the reggae gene, owing as much to folk and Cumbia as it does to dub.” With a plethora of sought after self-released 7 inch, plus ‘Perpetual Musket’ an acclaimed 2024 album on esteemed label FatCat Records, Minnelli’s sound stands out by balancing its influences with a unique irreverence.

Critically, Elijah’s 2025’s LP ‘Clams as a Main Meal’ (slide three) garnered his most glowing reviews yet, with positive nods from The Guardian and The Quietus voting ‘Canaan Land’ featuring Dennis Bovel, in their top 5 tracks of 2025.

In a live context, the dub elements of Minnelli’s sound come to the fore. Stood behind his mixing desk, he strips back and rebuilds his usual blend of rickety, ragtag percussion and warmed-through subs. Layered with his trademark live vocals and folk melodies the end result is a set of wheezing melancholia that strives beyond pure sound system functionality. This unique set-up has seen him grace stages as varied as London’s Cafe OTO, Copenhagen’s Dubfabrikken, Belgium’s Meakusma and Munich’s Circus Krone, and alongside artists such as Shackleton, The Notwist and Holy Tongue.

“The splicing of genres feels seamless, joyful and briskly contemporary.” The Guardian

“No one sounds like Elijah Minnelli.” - Sounds of the Universe

We are thrilled to welcome to The Pool Agency.

Cami is a Cuban DJ, selector, and radio host who finds her most intimate expressions on the dancefloor and through the airwaves hosting .records , her monthly radio show on .

Her journey is fuelled by a relentless search as a record digger and ethnomusicologist, unearthing organic rhythms from across the world. Performing exclusively on vinyl, her sonic adventure traverses textures and eras, weaving a wide tapestry that draws from Cuban disco, forward-thinking Latin electronics, Caribbean oddities, Tropical Amazonian rhythms, and global grooves.

Her 'INSOLAR' radio show has blossomed into a solid event concept, now encompassing 11 editions across 8 cities. This live iteration has seen Cami channel her energy and vision into notable stages and club takeovers, including a curated presentation at Le Guess Who (Utrecht, Netherlands) and a celebrated residency at The Pickle Factory (London, UK), where she hosted dub legend Mad Professor as a special guest.

Looking ahead, Cami is now expanding 'INSOLAR' into a record label and is currently working on its first release, a compilation of Cuban music from the 1970s to the late 1980s. Its concept is inspired by a record issued after Cuba sent its first citizen into outer space during the Cold War, as well as by the wave of Soviet synthesizers imported at the time. These instruments influenced a generation of music production, creating underrated crossovers between Afro-Cuban rhythms and spacey, funky grooves - ironically during a period in Cuba when Jazz and Funk were considered “enemy music” and were, in many ways, forbidden.

This debut release is a deeply personal project which embodies Cami’s narrative-driven approach to music and which shapes all of her work.

We are super excited to announce Lisbon legend and pioneer, Yen Sung’s first collaborative EP with Photonz. It comes with a remix from another Portuguese Producer, DJ Satelite.

Yen has partnered up with Photonz for this ongoing musical collaboration and shared record label. Photonz is closely linked with Violet (Naive) they own a space called Planeta Manas. He’s also one of the co-founders of Quantica Radio.

Exploring their mutual penchant for ethereal house music drenched in subtle but fiery grooves and acid basslines. Think DJ Pierre with a nice splash of Lisbon sunshine! These cuts are primed for the dancefloor.

After a good blast in The Pool studio yesterday, we felt Akasha was our favourite, on first listen.

Yen Sung is open for DJ bookings around the globe, please email: [email protected]

Greg Wilson releases on Running Back Records.

Greg Wilson’s seminal Street Sounds Electro compilation from 1984 is something of a legendary piece in the History of UK Dance music. So it’s wonderful to see it getting the love it deserves via Gerd Janson and his Frankfurt based imprint Running Back. Gerd has pulled out a couple of obscurities that did not make it onto the original compilation and given them a dust off and freshen up ready for 2022’s dance floors. Proto-House, Electro, early Electronic drum work-outs. All cut to 45rpm. In that powerful raw way that has Mr Janson’s stamp all over it.
