MELTING OF AGE

EXPIRATION DATE Last week, hip-hop artist Joel Debus released his record titled Expiration Date . Consisting of five songs, with features of Alex Ortiz and Elysee Carreno on vocals and executive produced by Daniel Cabral, this EP carries a solid direction. On Expiration Date , smooth production and deep-rooted lyrics tell you a story of the complications with love, relationships, and history. Just like a good story teller does, he provides you with a setting and scenario that enables you to relate to his music on another level. This short and heavy compilation displays Joel's own style and experimentation in taking his music further with everything he delivers.You can take a listen to Expiration Date on Spotify and iTunes and get a feel for this new Joel Debus!!  Keep up with Joel Debus on: Twitter: @joeldebus SoundCloud: Joel Debus http://www.joeldebus.com/

PRODUCER: POLY PINES Poly Pines is taking over the 14th Point of View Interview this week and he has great thoughts to share. Where he gets his inspiration and creativity to create his inspiring music derives from various places like films and other musicians. Poly Pines creates a mixture of a singer-songwriter style and electronic elements in his music. One track that gives an example of this is “Passion,” where he has an acoustic sound developed as well as spoken audio clips that perform as lyrics for the song. A couple of my favorites would be  "i ____ you"  and “Remember?” Both of these powerful tracks resemble Poly Pines’ style extremely well and blows your mind with the emotion he can portray in a single song. Check out the interview I had with Poly Pines below to get to know his inspirations and direction he is headed towards! -XZX Keep up with Poly Pines on: SoundCloud: Poly Pines Twitter: @polypinesmusic Question 1: What got you int...

"TBH ILY" - CHET PORTER (KIDSWASTE REMIX) A couple months ago, Chet Porter released his beloved single “tbh ily,” via Moving Castle . With its soothing yet captivating melody, Chet Porter was able to tickle your ears with strings and soft drums. This time, Kidswaste puts his spin on Chet’s dreamy composition. Kidswaste adds his own vocals in his remix of “tbh ily,” which allows you to feel the song as a poetic work of art. To be honest, I love Kidswaste's take and could listen to it to make any day feel extra lovely. Take a listen and a free download below! -XZX Follow Kidswaste on: SoundCloud: kidswaste Twitter: @kidswaste Follow Chet Porter on: SoundCloud: Chet Porter Twitter: @chetprtr

THE OBSERVATORY: A NIGHT OF ENERGY On March 23, The Observatory in Santa Ana was having one hell of a Wednesday night. Wave Racer, Basenji, and a few friends threw an all ages show that had the whole floor moving. You could say their future classic sets got the kids rowdy, but it was genuine love for the music that had them cheering and dancing for more. But the crowd that night was a mixture of everyone. Being an all ages show, you had all types of music loving goers and ages in the venue, most of which went most crazy over your generic hip-hop and rap songs. But that didn’t stop Wave Racer and his opener Basenji from creating an energetic atmosphere for all.  Being Wave Racer’s, Basenji’s, and also my, first time in the Observatory, the venue was not too small and not too big, but the right size for a crowd to feed off of the artists’ infectious energy. What made me enjoy the show most were the visuals used throughout each one’s set. The pastel and metallic colors in each ...
