Mike Taylor

Thursdays from 10pm

“To me, there’s nothing as exciting as hearing a new song that instantly strikes a chord: you like it, you love it, you gotta know more about it…RIGHT NOW! Even after being at this for a while, it’s still as basic as me wanting to play you something cool & interesting. Listeners can expect my show to be a guided tour of new releases, discoveries, and under appreciated artists you need to know about.”

As you’d expect, Mike is all about the new music, right down to where he lives; Austin, Texas is home to one of the biggest new music events in the calendar; SXSW and Mike is slap bang in the middle of it.

An alumni of Cincinnati’s ‘Future of Rock & Roll’ music station WOXY, Mike has been championing new music since his college radio days and has hosted live sessions with the likes of ‘The Low Anthem’ and ‘Frightened Rabbit’ as well as giving North American session debuts to ‘Foals’ and ’65daysofstatic’. He continues his mission to share the best emerging artists with like-minded individuals on Amazing Radio.
