Welcome to On Repeat Records!
Hi! I’m Kevin and welcome to On Repeat Records!
Feel overwhelmed when it comes to finding new music? You’re in the right place.
Maybe you’re tired of being fed songs via algorithm? You’re in the right place.
Want to share music you love with people you hope will love it too? You’re definitely in the right place!
In an era where we can have everything all at once, music discovery can be overwhelming. With so many platforms and sites to choose from, separating the signal from the noise can be a struggle. Eventually, it becomes easier to just tune out.
That's where I come in.
Playlists are my love language.
Remember that kid that was always making mixtapes? That was me. Later, I was the one burning CDs for everyone. Sharing playlists? Yep, that too.
What I found was that music discovery was increasingly driven by sterile algorithms. I missed the days of someone pressing a tape into my hand and saying, “you gotta hear this!” I missed the time and intention involved in making a mixtape. Mostly, I missed sharing music I loved with people I hoped would love it too.
I couldn’t find a place to share music I love so I built it.
What’s in it for you:
Every week, I bring you only the good stuff. Handpicked tracks that cut through the noise — no more endless scrolling, no more stale playlists, just pure gold.
You'll get future classics, forgotten gems, interviews, and record reviews. But it's not just me; every week, like-minded music fans worldwide stop by to share their own latest favorites. By subscribing, you're joining a thriving music discovery community. You'll be the friend who's always ahead of the curve.
Zero digging, zero FOMO. Just hit play and go. Because life's too short for bad music.
Give me two weeks, and I’ll give you a new favorite song.
What people are saying:
“Kevin’s newsletter reads like your cool friend you meet your freshman year of college who has way more albums than you. The reason I’ve got such great, eclectic taste in music is because I’ve had friends like that my whole life.” —Mark
“I’m more than happy to support your work because it is so interesting and intelligent…it opens up new sonic landscapes-always a pleasure and joy. Thank you!”- Jack
“Great writing and excellent music recommendations that I have come to rely on — all laid out in a clear, easy-to-read & listen format. Highly recommend! ”—Fog Chaser
Why pay?
We don’t run ads here; On Repeat is 100% reader funded. All support comes from you. Your subscriptions keep the lights on and allow me to keep bringing you stories & records you might not see anywhere else. It allows me to surface emerging artists, and revisit forgotten classics we love—all in my own voice, and without outside influence.
All subscribers receive posts on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Paying supporters get an additional essay on Saturday, full access to the archives (~700 posts and growing as of this writing), monthly AMAs, occasional giveaways, and other exclusive content.
All of that and good karma for directly supporting this project for less than $1 a week.
