The platform also acts as an open door for new talent, with demo calls and transparent submission policies shared regularly through its channels.

Founded by someone who’s spent years behind the decks and on national radio—hosting 

—Sarah Story has brought both taste and experience into the foundation of STORIES. It's not a side project. It’s a home for the kind of house and club music that DJs, dancers, and producers genuinely care about.
