Thanks for checking out this project. My name is Mike Stevenson, a guy from California who has a love for both music and web design. I've been wanting to create this site for a long time, so I'm happy to finally have it launched. Being that I built this site with my limited spare time, there might be some areas that could use optimization. I plan to iron as much of that stuff out as time permits. It was built on a MacBook Pro using Sublime Text, Photoshop, Sketch, and Google Chrome.

Human Movement pump a raw, warehouse-y industrial backbone as the most recognizable fuel for “Stranger”, encasing that aesthetic through an underground House structure while furthering a pop sensibility.
Evening Star by Cannons features dreamy vocals, glassy synths, and some subtle guitar licks just for that extra icing on the cake in case you like your tracks extra sweet.
Rationale will hook you with hypnotically chilled out vocals on his new single "Fast Lane". Tagging it "music to travel to", he isn't wrong, the lyrics literally call out to revving through the fast lane.
I've always had a soft spot for trance and deep house, and Serge Devant always stood out as one of my favorite producers ever. Check out this song from ~09 - Addicted. 'Fearing Love' just came out, and I have no fear; I love it.
This guy.. So often I find myself consumed by a song only to find that Roosevelt sprinkled his skill all over it. This song is electric with a perfect danceable beat, and of course those silky vocals.
If I could pick the perfect name for a House music producer, this would be it. And the music lives up to the quality of the name. Intricate beat with brilliant contrasting elements. Pool party music.
This isn't as new as most of the songs here, but it's so, so good. It's an emotional yet complex work of art. Filled with intricate atmospherics and signature spine tingling guitar lines, "Drivin Me Crazy" is a great reason to jump aboard the Astronomyy boat.
Hannah Wants & Chris Lorenzo have teamed up on this big tune. It features a lovely vocal from Jana and even though it's been out for a while and I've heard it a million times, I still jam to it whenever it comes on.
The Magician's first single on Parlophone Records - “When The Night Is Over” feat. Newtimers. This one has some good vibes. Definitely puts you in a good place.
The man says it best himself: "You get a feeling when someone's about to give you bad news. It's almost like you know it before they say it. Sometimes it's a breakup. Sometimes it's that someone is very sick. There's a fraction of a second where you can predict what you're about to be told and you don't want to face it. This song is about that moment."
Beginning with nothing more than a jungle-style drum beat beneath some smooth vocals, and yet the vibe conveyed is totally unique and utterly captivating.
Summer's almost here. This is poolside music if you ask me. It’s one of those tracks that you should take a liking to pretty much on the first listen, but it doesn’t hurt to hit repeat maybe a couple more times.
The intro to his track here starts out relatively low-key, but soon enough, we’re introduced to a voice that not only has some awesome low-end grit to it, but a range that takes you completely by surprise.
Some girls are just only in it for the champagne, you know? Featuring a verse from San Jose rapper Antwon, Xhampagne is a startlingly emotional tale about a shallow girl whose “only in it for the champagne.”
Alright, I'm not trying to advocate anything here. But this song is just too good. Guitar, smooth composition, this is a well put together track, regardless of lyrical content.
Oh, you're having a little party? Roosevelt transformed this song into a perfect slice of disco-pop heaven. Give it a spin above, and enjoy the ride!
The song opens with a spacey wood xylophone melody the quickly moves into some smooth male vocals which eventually leads to some piano fueled drops. The song will take you away into a dream and have you not wanting it to end. If this is any indication of what other future original material from Autograf will sound like, we are in for a treat.
Soaring summery psyche-rock vibes on their debut “Got It Bad”, keep your eyes on these guys from New Zealand. I'd like to hear these guys live at a festival.
Infectious. Make sure you give yourself a few listens to get into this one, because once it grows on you, it’s going to be one of those songs you listen to 10 times a day.
Leo Kalyan’s latest Shift K3y co-produced track “Stranger” comes off as a sexy R&B song but the hook is catchy enough to give it some pop potential. The beat is smooth but also has just enough kick from the bass to really grab your attention.
There’s a layer of cool to his music that is very apparent, and toward the end of this track in particular when he sees its production go off on a explosive tangent, you’re going to find yourself magnetized.
Alright.. Candidate for sexiest song ever? Sydney trio Movement inhabit a shadowy subspace where R&B and dance music begin to blur together and blend. Their new single on Modular, "Us", transcends standard lyrical lecherousness, advancing onto more troubling terrain.
Very possibly one of my favorite build ups in any song I've ever heard. At 1:58 it all comes together. "Jacuzzi", the lead track, has an energetic build up from its slo-mo beginning and is melodically infectious.
As evidenced on their new track “Better Off Without You,” Aquilo has honed their own brand of downtempo electronica, bringing in soulful elements of R&B for good measure. As you might expect from this band, it’s a stunning track.
The dreamy yet piercing synth melodies lay perfectly with the hip-hop inspired drums which is all tied together by George Maple's flawless voice.
