The Endless Poker's: ! The Poke ! Vinyl 12"

Undeniable acid from Adonis! Classic Chicago house from one of the originators of the genre that we're pleased to see back in print. Originally released in 1987 under the comically named Endless Poker's, "The Poke" is trademark Adonis. Staccato drum machine patterns paired with a creeping acid bass line that never goes too far makes for a winning combination as far as we're concerned. Often imitated, but never duplicated, textbook material right here. Study up kids!
