Daytrotter was a recording studio, music venue and subscription-based music discovery website[2] located in Atlanta, United States. It hosted recording sessions with indie music acts.

The original studio in Rock Island, Illinois, was founded in 2006 by Sean Moeller. It later moved to Davenport, Iowa and in 2019 moved to Atlanta, Georgia.

The sessions can be compared to that of a radio station's lounge recordings, where musicians passing through the town can record live in the studio. Given their tendency to offer an eclectic sampling of music as well as their production style the sessions have been compared to that of the Peel Sessions.[3][4]

Currently, the Daytrotter website is owned by Paste, and redirects to the magazine's website. Daytrotter is no longer actively recording sessions with the last Daytrotter music session released on March 6, 2019.[5]
