About
Veteran label founder and producer blending nostalgic synth-pop with house and indie dance.
Based in New Jersey, Mike Simonetti is a veteran producer and label founder known for his foundational roles at Troubleman, Italians Do It Better, and his current imprint 2MR. His work frequently bridges the gap between house, synth pop, and indie dance, often characterized by a blend of nostalgic eighties textures and modern club sensibilities. Notable releases include the Pale Blue album The Past We Leave Behind on 2MR, the Hollywood Seven edit on Perseo, and the Acid Waves EP. He maintains a consistent presence in the New York City club circuit, with frequent appearances at venues such as Le Bain and Bossa Nova Civic Club. Simonetti remains a vital figure in the underground scene, consistently balancing his curatorial instincts with a production style that favors emotional resonance over pure dancefloor utility.
