Poolside began in a converted Los Angeles backyard pool house in early 2011 when Jeffrey Paradise set out on a low-stakes journey to produce appropriately chill music for summer soirees. A light but danceable kind of music with sunny vibes and liquid rhythm that he dubbed “Daytime Disco.” Jeffrey, a San Francisco State University alumni, and SF mainstay has spent the better part of a decade and a half giving back to the SF Music Scene. The Daytime Disco moniker inspired Poolside’s Daytime Disco weekly Spotify playlist.  Curated by Paradise, featuring his own music and works by like-minded artists, it now boasts almost 43,000 followers and has become the catalyst for the debut of the Daytime Disco party in Union Square in 2025, and future events to come.

Poolside has released five acclaimed albums – Pacific Standard Time (2012), Heat (2017), Low Season (2020), High Season (2021), and Blame It All On Love (2023) – remixed countless high-profile acts such as Billy Idol, Jack Johnson, Milky Chance, The Revivalists, Miami Horror, Rhye, L’impératrice and more, and toured the world over for more than a decade as a formidable six-piece live band – performing at major stages across the globe including Coachella, Outside Lands, Primavera and Corona Capital and supporting marquee artists like LCD Soundsystem, Kacey Musgraves and Tycho.
