Known for their infectious rhythms, tight basslines, and lush harmonies, the duo captures the essence of that golden era while infusing their own contemporary twist. DiRocco & Cato's music is both a celebration of the past and an exploration of future soundscapes, designed to make listeners move and feel.

Myles Kelley is a producer and keyboardist working in Portland, ME. His band “MKtrio” self-produced a full length record in 2025 called HOUSE ON FIRE, which juxtaposes spoken-word with model-fusion jams and shimmering beat music. Myles also produced the new Ladybrain album: “Hell on Wheels”. Drawing on influences from spiritual jazz, to hip-hop and video-game soundtracks, Myles takes every opportunity to lose himself in the music, reveling in dreams and wrestling with nightmares.
