DownTown Mystic Releases New AI-Generated Video and Mystic Highway EP with Elite Musicians

Sha-La Music announces the worldwide release of DownTown Mystic's new single Somebody's Always Doin' Something 2 Somebody and the Mystic Highway EP, marking significant developments in the artist's career and the independent music landscape. The single will be released to US radio on October 7 and streaming services on October 10, while the EP containing 6 songs will be available worldwide via The Orchard/Sony Music on November 7. The new video for Somebody's Always Doin' Something 2 Somebody represents a technological milestone as the first AI video created by Richard Levinsohn/Rick Lee Vinson Group for DownTown Mystic, showcasing innovative approaches to music visual production.

The Mystic Highway EP continues DownTown Mystic's commitment to delivering high-quality rock'n'roll in the 21st century, featuring keyboard virtuoso Jeff Levine (known for work with Joe Cocker and Hall & Oates) on Moog, piano, and organ. According to DTM writer/producer Robert Allen, the project emphasizes exceptional musicianship, with the elite rhythm section of drummer Steve Holley and bassist Paul Page anchoring 5 of the 6 tracks. Guitar work remains a central feature, with contributions from ace guitarists Lance Doss, Bruce Engler, and Justin JJ Jordan bringing diverse styles to the rock compositions.

DownTown Mystic's sync-licensing success reached new heights in 2025, with music featured in over 250 TV shows and films, including three songs in major movie soundtracks. Two tracks appeared in Everything's Going to Be Great starring Bryan Cranston and Allison Janney, while one song was featured in Sovereign with Dennis Quaid and Nick Offerman. This extensive sync placement, combined with significant international radio airplay for The Wish album, has established DownTown Mystic as a top sync-licensed artist, demonstrating the commercial viability and industry recognition achievable through independent music production.

The 2026 roadmap includes the On E Street Remix project in January, featuring remixes of tracks recorded with Max Weinberg and Garry Tallent, drummer and bassist for Bruce Springsteen's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame E Street Band. Critical reception has been overwhelmingly positive, with Jamsphere Magazine praising the crisp drums, dynamic bass, searing guitar tones, and earnest vocals, while Music Farmer 5 described the sound as familiar in the best way—like discovering everything you didn't know you were missing. American Songwriter noted the classic rock and roll filtered through both muscle and melody, and Planet Singer recommended the musical journey for both longtime fans and new listeners.
