Shaping the musical landscape in his city since his late teens, Mike Zarin is a strong presence in Atlanta’s underground dance scene. Mike has been immersed in the Atlanta music scene for more than 10 years during which time he has built relationships with Dj's, club owners and music industry heads establishing himself as an influential tastemaker. Throughout the years, Mike has had the opportunity to share his passion with music via radio (Houseworks & Sound Like This Radio Programs - WRAS 88.5FM 2004-2007), club (Head of 4Deep Promo & DJ Crew) and production (CaZ project with partner Chris Nicholson). 

With music, as in life, timing is everything. Nothing could be further from the truth with the formation of Saint Lord￼ by members David Murphy (STS9) and Justin Allmet in Atlanta, Ga. The two were in a circle of musicians, bands and friends for more close to 15 years before coming together to create the band and debut album from Saint Lord. All good things come to those who wait.

￼Combining Allmett’s sweet haunting vocals and alternative rock song writing with Murphy’s instrumental electronic dance sensibilities they’ve put together an album that is nostalgic yet modern, mature yet fun and dream like. Listening to the album it is hard not to feel like you’ve heard it before. It is refreshing to listen to an album all the way through and not know which song it is you love the most. From “What are we talking About” with a poppy funk vibe to “Normality” which features a dark psychedelic dance track to the instant hit “Can’t Stop” a downtempo epic with singing guitar melodies and lyrical genius. There’s something for everyone on this must hear album.
