CLASSIXX Tyler Blake and Michael David, childhood friends, started a DJ duo in the suburbs of LA and by their early twenties Classixx began to redefine the sound for the Los Angeles electronic music scene. Changing it from the banger-driven Electro that had been dominating dance floors, to their smooth blend of disco, new wave, funk, house, and indie rock catching the ears of music aficionados, fans and artists alike. Recent remixes for groundbreaking and diverse artists include Phoenix, Mayer Hawthorne, Fischerspooner, Groove Armada, Drop the Lime and Major Lazer made Classixx “staples in DJ sets all over the world”. Pitchfork Media wrote that the duo gave Phoenix’s  ”Lisztomania” “a gorgeously pillowy synth-disco framework”. The Los Angeles Times called it “pure disco cotton candy”.Following the release of their debut hit single, “I’ll Get You” featuring Jeppe (Junior Senior), in the summer of 2009 on Paris based Kitsune Records, Classixx is now prepping their debut album for release this winter.

The stars are aligned and the future is very, very bright for Poolside.

Cosmic Kids EP out on Throne of Blood has met the DJ world with a very great reception.Cosmic Kids Ron Poznansky and Dan Terndrup didn’t meet in outer space as their DJ moniker may indicate, but the story is still equally as good. They met in a high school classroom meant for kids who had trouble paying attention. They bonded over their love of classic rock and right out of high school they both volunteered to work at the Los Angeles radio station KCRW. Known for its eclectic programming, the friends were exposed to all different kinds of music, and began collecting and consuming records, feeding their ever-expanding appetite for music. They’ve come a long way in five years and the sky is the limit for Cosmic Kids.

SAMO SOUND BOY Samo Sound Boy’s powerful live sets and original productions have brought him to the forefront of today’s global club scene. His introduction as an artist came in 2005 when Samo spent a year living in Buenos Aires, Argentina. There he learned to DJ from experimental cumbia producers at the now infamous Fugees 99, a Nigerian-owned dancehall in the city’s south end. Compounding those influences with a love of crunk and ghetto house, Samo emerged to create a uniquely rugged but soulful sound of his own. With his second EP released through Palms Out Sounds, another for Trouble & Bass, and more killer remixes Samo is only getting started spreading his club aesthetic described as: “Weird, banging, and beautiful. Like a shortwave radio recording of all the best stations at once.” Video: Samo Sound Boy - “Five”  Audio: Samo Sound Boy’s Soundcloud ELECTRIFYING DISCO ROOM: GLASS CANDY, CLASSIXX, POOLSIDE, COSMIC KIDS, PLASTIC PLATES, AMEN BROTHER, & DIRTY DAVE.
