With the release of their latest album, “Blame it all on love,” Poolside has solidified their position as pioneers of the modern disco revival, and their performance at Brooklyn Steel was nothing short of mesmerizing.
The history of Poolside is one of evolution and innovation. Formed in Los Angeles in 2010 by producers Filip Nikolic and Jeffrey Paradise, Poolside quickly gained recognition for their laid-back yet irresistibly funky tunes.
