Mike Stewart Theory is back with renewed energy on his debut single, “It Reaches Us”, which serves as a prelude to his album, “Mikey2Hats Birthday,” due out on October 17, 2025. Having made a name for himself as Mikey2Hats, Mike Stewart has yet to release a track under his own name, but the producer has already left a very large footprint worldwide, with well over 100 million streams on Spotify. With this album, he opens a whole new chapter.
“It Reaches Us,” the feeling of beat without borders. It’s a song that easily evades categorization, avoiding being labeled as the product of one genre or another. In true Stewart fashion, the song is a mad ‘sound and vibrations’ laboratory collage consisting of bits of madness, flashiness, and experimentation all sewn together into this amazing gem. Every single beat feels like a signal bouncing across the world, something that resonates with everyone differently, and all at once lands exactly in the same spot.
This release also signifies chapter one in a 10-track voyage. “Mikey2Hats Birthday” is lending itself to be more than an album that’s a celebration of artistry, collaboration, and Stewart’s continuous intrigue for sound that doesn’t slot easily into any one category. If “It Reaches Us” is the entry point, listeners can prepare for the unpredictable: collaborations with no fixed shape, wild swerves in approach, and beat that gets you moving one minute while thinking along with it.
For those encountering Mike Stewart Theory for the first time, “It Reaches Us” is an ideal entry point. For long-term fans, it serves as inspiration for why Stewart is a household name in production circles. His beats may be from one musician, but their echoes reverberate across borders, genres, and audiences. Mike Stewart Theory drops a single with this release and sets the stage for a listening rave around the globe.
