Welcome to On Repeat Records!
Hi! I’m Kevin and welcome to On Repeat Records!
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.
Who this community is for:
Active listeners, cratediggers, and avowed music nerds.
Anyone feeling overwhelmed when it comes to finding new music.
People tired of being fed shitty sounds via algorithm.
Want to share music you love with people you hope will love it too? You’re definitely in the right place!
Who this community is not for:
Gatekeepers.
People who make fun of other people’s tastes for sport.
Anyone who thinks good music stopped being made after 1977. You know who you are!
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.
“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

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.
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.
