Certain sounds simply just correspond to a particular season. Especially in July, a month that’s particularly known for conveniently having far too many vibe-y, sun dappled projects. Poolside, a producer/DJ pairing consisting of Fillip Nikolic and Jeffrey Paradise, not only cater to the season, but they’ll knock at your door, remind you to bring your sandals and give you the reassurance the day is going to be legendary...if you go out with them. Of course, not before asking for a generous fund to fill up the cooler with ice, cold beer. “Relax, it’s gonna be alright”, they lazily sing in Slow Down, which appropriately moseys an assortment of synth-draped arrangements while a clean, brittle guitar tempers the mood. But that’s just one of the tracks off Pacific Standard Time, which features close to an hour of salty-yet-sweet repetitious grooves that will give a nice glare to that dank, enclosed office cubicle. - Juan Edgardo Rodríguez (@juanerodriguez)
