BIO
Michael Borth is redefining what it means to feel on the dance floor. Based in Los Angeles, the DJ and producer crafts cinematic melodic house that blurs the lines between emotion and rhythm, where club energy meets timeless pop storytelling.Beginning with rhythm-driven house productions, Borth built his foundation on groove and movement before evolving into a deeper, more cinematic sound. Drawing on his roots as a guitarist and his love of 80s nostalgia, he fuses analog warmth, modern production, and introspective moods to create music that lives between the sunset, the night, and the sunrise after.His music brings together melodic emotion and rhythmic precision, creating cinematic house built for real movement. Shimmering synths, deep grooves, and human vulnerability define his sound, bridging underground texture with mainstream allure.With releases on profimusic/Warner and several other labels, Borth continues to expand his sonic palette while staying true to his club roots. For him, this is more than dance music—it is a soundtrack to self-discovery. The night is his canvas, and every track is a story told in motion.
