Jimi Polo, Michael Gray – Better Days EP [Toolroom]

Toolroom delivers a standout release that bridges house music’s golden era with today’s dance‑floor sensibilities. Chicago house legend Jimi Polo joins forces with acclaimed producer Michael Gray, reimagining Jimi Polo’s iconic anthem ‘Better Days’, which is a track long celebrated as one of the genre’s defining moments. This fab new version pays full respect to the original’s DNA. Adamski’s unmistakable piano line still drives the groove with that timeless, feel‑good urgency, while Jimi Polo’s soulful, uplifting vocal remains as powerful and unmistakably anthemic as ever.

What Michael Gray brings is a lush, modern polish: warm, full-bodied production, crisp percussion, and a contemporary swing that slots effortlessly into today’s club landscape without losing the spirit of the classic. The result is a release that feels both nostalgic and fresh; it’s a thoughtful update that honours its roots while giving a new generation of partygoers a reason to fall in love with the song all over again.
