Jody Wisternoff has one of those catalogs that works because it never feels like it is trying to flatten itself into one lane. You get deep house, progressive house, melodic house, break-influenced club music, and the cleaner Anjunadeep side of modern electronic music, all handled with the kind of taste that comes from decades behind the decks and in the studio.
That makes this kind of list useful, because someone searching for artists who sound like Jody Wisternoff probably wants something specific. You may be looking for the warm melodic side of his Anjunadeep work, the deeper and more club-focused edge of his solo records, or the wider progressive house feel that connects his catalog to Way Out West, James Grant, Anjunadeep, and the labels that sit around that orbit.
We pulled together ten artists who should land well for Jody Wisternoff fans, including a few names from the Magnetic Magazine Recordings catalog that fit this lane well. If this is the sound you are after, follow our melodic house playlist below before digging through the full list.

Our Handpicked List Of Artists Who Sound Like Jody Wisternoff
Marsh
Marsh is one of the easiest recommendations for Jody Wisternoff fans because his music lives in that Anjunadeep-adjacent space where melody, groove, and patience all have a role. His productions usually feel polished without turning sterile, and his best records work well in long DJ sets because they give the arrangement room to breathe.
“Little Darling” is a good entry point because it has the melodic lift, soft vocal presence, and steady club movement that fits naturally next to Jody’s deeper work. It has enough emotion for headphone listening and enough forward motion for a set, which is the balance this whole lane depends on.
Luttrell
Luttrell fits this list because he understands how to keep melodic house light on its feet. His records tend to carry a little more bounce than some of the deeper Anjunadeep catalog, yet they still sit in the same general pocket as Jody Wisternoff’s more melodic and DJ-friendly material.
“Into Clouds” is the clear starting point because the track has a simple melodic hook, a clean arrangement, and the kind of steady build that works without needing to push too hard. It is an easy record to recommend to someone who likes Jody’s brighter side and wants something with a bit more lift.
Simon Doty
Simon Doty brings a slightly tougher club frame to the melodic and progressive house lane, which makes him a good fit for listeners who like Jody Wisternoff’s DJ side as much as the softer melodic side. His records usually have clean drum programming, tight low-end movement, and enough melodic material to sit comfortably in an Anjunadeep set.
“Universal Language” is the one to start with because it gives you the vocal hook, the groove, and the progressive edge without losing the melodic focus. It is a practical recommendation for fans who want something a little more direct while staying close to the same musical family.
Dosem
Dosem is a good pick for Jody Wisternoff fans who want the progressive side with a little extra pressure in the drums and bassline. His records often feel club-focused first, yet he still knows how to write a melodic idea that gives the track identity beyond its function in a set.
“Beach Kisses” is a useful gateway because it has been a durable record in the progressive and melodic house space for years. The track moves with purpose, keeps the melodic writing direct, and lands well for anyone who likes Jody’s balance of deep-house taste and progressive-house movement.
Nox Vahn
Nox Vahn makes this list because his music reaches into the darker, deeper end of the same Anjunadeep universe. He can write records that feel tense and club-ready, yet there is usually enough melody and detail in the production to keep the track from feeling flat.
“Brainwasher” is the one I would point people toward first because it gives you the hypnotic low-end movement, the darker atmosphere, and the patient arrangement that can sit well next to Jody Wisternoff in a deeper set. It is a good pick for anyone who wants the moodier side of this sound without leaving the melodic house and progressive house lane.
Durante
Durante is a natural fit for Jody Wisternoff fans because his music has that clean, modern Anjunadeep polish while still feeling rooted in club writing. His records usually move with restraint, and the details tend to sit in the synth work, vocal treatment, and slow-release arrangement choices.
“Follow” is a good entry point because the vocal sits clearly in the center while the production keeps its momentum underneath it. It works for listeners who like melodic house with a vocal thread, polished production, and enough drive to avoid drifting into background listening.
CRi
CRi fits this list from a slightly softer and more song-focused angle. His music often works well for listeners who like the emotional side of melodic house, especially when the production supports the vocal instead of trying to overpower it.
“Never Really Get There” is the right starting point because the vocal gives the record a clear identity while the arrangement stays controlled and clean. If Jody Wisternoff’s melodic catalog is the entry point, CRi is a good next step for listeners who want the same level of polish with a more intimate songwriting feel.
Dias Ridge
Dias Ridge is one of the Magnetic Magazine Recordings artists who fits this list well because his newer work sits in melodic and progressive house without chasing the most obvious Anjunadeep habits. His tracks have enough melody for playlist listeners and enough rhythmic detail for DJs, which is exactly where this style gets interesting.
“Interstice” is the cut to start with because it has a patient arrangement, clean synth movement, and a sense of pacing that should work for Jody Wisternoff fans. It gives the listener enough melodic focus to latch onto while keeping the track useful inside a longer melodic or progressive set.
Discognition
Discognition brings a warmer, organic-leaning side to the Magnetic Magazine Recordings catalog, and that gives this list some useful range without pulling it away from Jody Wisternoff’s audience. His tracks often combine progressive house pacing with guitar, percussion, and melodic writing that feels detailed without getting crowded.
“De Leon” is the track I would use here because it has a clear instrumental identity and enough forward motion to work in a melodic house set. It is a good fit for listeners who like Jody’s deeper selections and want something with a little more acoustic detail in the arrangement.
Pørtl
Pørtl works as a Magnetic Magazine Recordings pick because the project leans into the detailed production side of melodic house. The writing feels measured, the synth work stays clean, and the arrangements tend to move patiently rather than rushing toward an obvious payoff.
“Elodie” is the track to start with because it has the filtered synth movement and melodic restraint that fans of Jody Wisternoff’s deeper catalog should respond to. It also fits the playlist side of this article well, because it can sit next to bigger Anjunadeep names without feeling like filler.
