The Hot Mic is run by a group of SlyVinyl’s editorial leadership. It’s more than just a new site, it is a continuation of the celebration of our passion for music that drew us all to Sly in the first place . As part of that continuation, SlyVinyl’s editorial archive will relocate to The Hot Mic, along with tons of new and exciting content!

Unlike a lot of music journalism, we don’t claim to be experts on anything. We’re not here to tell you what to like or what not to like. No gatekeeping here. Instead, our goal is to create a community of like-minded individuals who are as eager to hear about your favorite band as we are to talk about ours. We’re here to open readers’ ears and minds to as much music as possible. In the simplest terms, we’re just a handful of music lovers doing what we love to do – talk about music!
