dj poolboi is the moniker of Austin Texas’ resident Adam Ansley. In 2017 Ansley started quietly releasing lo-fi house music under the moniker as a side project. An upload of his track “we can be happy on the popular EELF Youtube channel began to pick up viral tracktion and attention. Channelling his own struggles Ansley crafted a unique form of electronic music creating emotional melodic house and instrumental songs mixing elation and nostalgia with melancholy.
Residing in the same vein as contemporaries Ross From Friends, DJ Boring, Mall Grab, Park Hye Jin and Dj Seinfeld while building on the experimental dance music of trailblazers such as Radiohead, Four Tet, Caribou and Jamie XX his music found its own niche and began to take flight online.
With a strong visual presence from his many music videos, poolboi has quickly amassed almost 100k subscribers on Youtube. With over 34 million streams to date the artist began landing coveted opening gigs across North America.
The artists debut LP “it’s good to hear your voice” came out in March of this year on Majestic Casual to heavy fanfare. A new official remix for Moby came out in August.
In December of 2020 the artist released the first single from his new upcoming sophomore album in a new electronic indie / pop crossover direction with the massive end of the night dance floor anthem, “motions”. Then returned to his lofi root releasing the exceptionally well received EP “rarities” on UK based label Shall Not Fade. The artist now follows this up with the third single from the upcoming LP, with South Korean bedroom pop artist Su Lee, “i don’t really mind” as he builds to the release of his highly anticipated sophomore LP.
