In Rotation: Poolside - latimes.com True to its breezy, summery name, Poolside has created a sound it calls Daytime Disco that sounds like '80s dance and funk grooves combined with the lyrics of 1970s soft-rockers Toto. The hybrid vibe of the L.A.-based duo of Filip Nikolic and Jeffrey Paradise, a mix of easy listening with funky bass lines sometimes rolling out as 6-minute jams, has a pretty decent pedigree. Danish-born Nikolic was formerly the touring bass player in the Danish pop band Junior Senior, and then the bass player in Ima Robot. He connected with Paradise, a DJ formerly in the San Francisco group the Calculators and connected to dance parties Blow Up and Club 1994, to form a disco side project. They released an EP in 2010 called "Do You Believe." On Poolside's debut album, "Pacific Standard Time," the lush synths, dance-heavy drums and bass and falsetto-adorned music of the track "Harvest Moon" pull the listener into a world where pools, sun and piña coladas are only minutes away, like a party where the Free Design meets G-Funk. On their Facebook page, the pair describe their sound as "Great friends, good music, California, and mezcal." Fans of Dam-Funk, James Pants and other throwback 1980s funk revival artists will feel right at home with Poolside -- its sound is all wet drum claps, saturated basslines and an airy falsetto. And no track displays this better than "Havest Moon," a Neil Young cover that transform the song from folk ballad to summertime disco.
