BIO:
Michael Rosa makes music that brings bodies together in blissful motion on the dance floor. With every sonic vibration, the Denver-based producer’s vision of community resonates in the soul of every audience member.

An infectious swing permeates through every enigmatic rhythm. Labels like Desert Hearts, Yoruba Records, P.U.N.C.H.I.S , Super Freq have signed his songs, and he’s released others via his own imprints, Early Morning Music & Strange People
