Interview start;

Where are you based?

Alan Walker: Right now I am living in Haverhill, Massachusetts with my girlfriend.

How long have you been making music?

Alan Walker: I’ve been making music for a good 2 years now, almost three this upcoming March. I started making music with my friend in his dorm room and ever since that day I’ve never stopped doing it because it’s something I love to do.

What genre would you consider your music to be?

Alan Walker: I consider my genre to be “emotional rap” or you can say “alternative rap”. To be honest I don’t really put a designated genre for my music because I try to be creative and dive into all types of music.

What inspired you to pursue a career in music?

Alan Walker: The passing of my close friend “Kerion Rogers’ ‘ made me want to go hard on the music journey as well as my friend who first put me in the booth in his dorm room. My grandma also is a major reason why I do music because she is the person who taught me everything there is to know about music and the different artists she used to listen to back in her day. We would listen to her types of vinyl for hours just picking apart the music we were hearing and how it made us feel when we heard it.

What are your biggest musical influences?

Alan Walker: My biggest musical influence is hard to say because I have a wide range of musical knowledge that inspired me to do this myself. But I’d say Juice Wrld, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, Tupac Shakur, James Brown, chuck berry, Jimmy Hendrix, and more

Are you signed to a label or are you an independent artist?

Alan Walker: I am an independent artist

What have been the biggest challenges in your music career?

Alan Walker: I’d say the biggest challenge in my career so far is having the money to keep funding my career. So it’s a lot of hard work, blood, sweat, and tears going into my career. I wouldn’t really say it’s a challenge because that’s part of my journey to reaching success.

How many songs or albums have you released to date?

Alan Walker: I’ve put out more than 40 plus songs to date

Can you tell us a few things about your latest release?

Alan Walker: My latest release I put a dedication project together for my nana who passed away this past March. 8 days from my birthday and so that really hurt me a lot and really strained my mental health a bit as well. So I resorted to what makes me feel happy and what makes me express my feelings which is music. I wanted to do something special for her because she was very special to me. She taught me everything I know in life and to repay her I promised her I’d make it in the industry and so far I haven’t been doing a bad job. The project is a 9 track album, filled with emotions and creativity which is why I call it a masterpiece.

Any plans for new music or upcoming projects we should know about?

Alan Walker: I plan to drop a couple of videos and songs off my latest Album “DRW” and then after that I will be releasing a lot of singles I have in the vault for the fans and supporters.

End Interview.

Plasma Chasms sparks a cosmic love affair with “Interstellar Baby”

Produced, mixed, and mastered by Electric Rabbit Studios, Plasma Chasms’ masterfully crafted latest single, “Interstellar Baby,” is an auditory odyssey that flawlessly blends the timeless charm of vintage soul with modern psychedelic twists. Formed in 2020 by the dynamic duo of Australian Jane Drewett and American Adrian Guerrero, Plasma Chasms have steadily carved out a niche in the indie-pop scene with their retro, gritty, and rhythmic garage sound, and this track feels like a dream, with shimmering, otherworldly sounds a testament to their evolving artistry.

From the first note, “Interstellar Baby” envelops the audience in a cosmic embrace reminiscent of the golden era of Motown. The interplay of Jane Drewett and Guerrero’s vocals stands out, dripping with soulful intensity and complemented by lush strings and horns that evoke the spirit of Marvin Gaye. This sonic adventure through time and space, guided by the rhythmic heartbeat of Latin percussion and R&B grooves, creates a harmonious balance that’s soothing yet invigorating.

The track’s impeccable production quality allows each element to shine while maintaining a cohesive, immersive sound. The new layers of psychedelic rock subtly interwoven into the fabric of classic Soul/R&B create a familiar and refreshingly new soundscape that transports listeners on a cosmic elevator ride through each floor, revealing a different flavor of psychedelia, from blissful reverie to rhythmic euphoria.
