“Pacifica” by Monster Taxi
Single Review by New Age CD and New Age Notes Radio Staff
Have you ever visited somewhere that stuck in your memory and left an indelible mark on your heart and soul? For Miami-based composer, producer, and musician, Jason Klein (a.k.a. Monster Taxi), that place is the coast of Oregon.
Jason has licensed and created music on several major and indie labels, including Ministry of Sound, Universal, Sony, and Fania, to name a few. His original songs and remixes have been played on the radio, including SiriusXM, and have charted on Billboard, DJ Times, and many others. Monster Taxi has more than 1.2 million streams on Spotify and the music is included in over 115 playlists in the chill, New Age, trip hop, and deep house genres.
Here, in the wonderful new single, “Pacifica,” we are taken upon a laid-back sensory journey where the majestic Oregon coastline with its rocky formations and towering sea stacks, meshes perfectly with the natural beauty of the Pacific Ocean. This musical meeting effortlessly becomes a magical symphony underscoring the splendor of all that is this place. This mesmerizing, hypnotic piece pays homage to Klein’s travels with his wife to this coastal region and the awe-inspiring, unforgettable sites they witnessed and explored.
Joining Monster Taxi on this very chill single is Don Slesnick III (guitar), as well as Katie Berns Lee and Fernando Moraes (percussion). The piece was mixed by Franklin Socorro and mastered by Felipe Tichauer. The gorgeous album cover is by James Savino. There is a “must see” video as well, with video production by Daniel Barrocas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bi2Y_1nOat8&t=2s
“Pacifica” features a flowing coastal vibe and a steady rhythm underneath which carries us effortlessly to a place of breathtaking beauty and total relaxation. We are there. Through the music, the imagination conjures up vibrant images of magnificent whales, intriguing puffin birds, Dungeness crabs, cascading waterfalls, and lively ecosystems. This is an absolutely perfect blend of synastry, serenity, family fun, and adventure. Charming, mesmerizing, and unforgettable.
