Poldoore, the Belgian music producer and DJ Thomas Schillebeeckx, is known for his signature dreamy and melancholic sound. With over 82 million Spotify streams, his music has resonated with a diverse global audience. Poldoore's distinctive style comes from his meticulous use of analogue instruments, sampling and live recordings, creating a seamless fusion of musical styles and eras. His home studio serves as a playground for experimentation, allowing him to create immersive soundscapes that captivate listeners.

Following the release of his album The Day After in 2016, Poldoore's dedication to honing his production skills in his Leuven-based studio paid off, pushing him beyond the confines of a 'bedroom producer'. He ventured into remix work for esteemed artists such as Emancipator, Wax Tailor and Talib Kweli, cementing his reputation as a skilled artist. Poldoore's latest offering, Soft Focus, released in January 2022, showcases his passion for synths and vintage machines, resulting in a tapestry of carefully selected sample chops and instrumental takes that evoke a constant undercurrent of wistful melancholy. This album unites the various facets of Poldoore's artistry, from his avid crate-digging to his love of analogue sounds, and demonstrates his growth as a thoughtful and innovative composer.
