About Downbeat.fm

Downbeat.fm is an independent publication launched in January 2020 by Mike Rastiello.

Downbeat.fm is a monthly newsletter and playlist published on Apple Music and Spotify.

I started this project in 2020, just a few short months before the lockdown started, and it helped me get through that time. However, I started the project to discover new music and escape my musical rut.

Since this project launched, there have been five complete volumes, which you can find on my profiles linked above. This includes one master playlist of the entire project, which totals almost four days of continuous music (Apple Music / Spotify).

Pour a drink, check out past issues, and listen to great tunes.

If this is your jam, I'd love for you to subscribe so you don't miss a single song.
