It’s here. A new type of poetronica arrived today.

RIDE-SHARE REAPERS: SAINTS OF THE ASPHALT by Dust & Clay is OUT NOW and had 500+ streams on day 1.

Introducing Comicwave, a new medium that fuses graphic novel storytelling with cinematic music to create immersive “audio comics,” where each song unfolds like an issue in a serialized series.

Blending rock, electronic music, spoken-word poetry, worldbuilding, and recurring characters, Comicwave is designed to feel like listening to a movie or reading a comic book with your eyes closed.

And Ride-Share Reapers is Chapter One.
Set in a neon-lit world of corruption and conspiracy, the album follows four ride-share drivers from Havana, Delhi, Tallinn, and Tokyo who secretly hunt traffickers, war profiteers, cybercriminals, and corrupt elites by accepting carefully chosen rides through a mysterious app.
Four drivers become an underground network.
A network becomes a whispered legend.
That legend becomes the Saints of the Asphalt.

Each track reveals another chapter of their mythology, blending musical influences from each driver’s homeland with cinematic storytelling, recurring motifs, and interconnected characters.

More than a concept album, Ride-Share Reapers is the first chapter in the Comicwave universe.
A graphic novel told entirely through music.

🎧 OUT NOW. Stream on Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, iHeartRadio, Pandora, Deezer, TIDAL, TikTok, Instagram and more:

A new movement begins.

Today, Poetronica Records officially launches as the world's first record label exclusively for poets.

We're honored to welcome the fifth Presidential Inaugural Poet, recipient of the National Humanities Medal, and Inaugural Miami-Dade County Poet Laureate, Richard Blanco as our inaugural poetronica artist.

Nothing Here I Don’t Remember EP is Richard Blanco’s debut poetronica project, reimagining his seminal poem “Looking for The Gulf Motel” through three distinct musical interpretations spanning folk, jazz, and latin pop rock, carrying its meditations on memory, family, loss, and place into new sonic forms.

------

Poetronica Records is producing an emerging artistic medium we've coined as poetronica. Not poetry. Not music. Something that exists between them.

Every Poetronica track begins with an original poem written entirely by a poet. Using a proprietary creative process, the poems become immersive sonic experiences through AI-generated vocals, instrumentation, and sound design under human artistic direction.

The poet remains the creator. Technology becomes another artistic instrument.

Visit us at: PoetronicaRecords.com.
The page will always matter.
The spoken word will always matter.
Music will always matter.
We simply believe there is now room for something new.

✨ This Friday: A New Journey Begins.
Some albums are made to entertain.
Others are made to transform.

Friday, 7/31 Dust & Clay's latest album drops
Mudras & Mantras In Motion
an uplifting mindfulness concept album inspired by the International Yoga Day Miami Wellness Summit (June 2026).

Blending electronic music with world rhythms, dancehall, reggaeton, ambient healing soundscapes, and meditative energy, the album transforms timeless wisdom into modern musical mantras.

Each track explores:
🌿 Mindfulness
💛 Self-compassion
✨ Intentional living
💃 Movement as meditation
🕊 Soul awareness

Whether you're dancing, practicing yoga, reflecting, or simply taking a breath, these songs are invitations to return to yourself.

Because sometimes the greatest transformation begins with a single mindful moment.

🎧 Mudras & Mantras In Motion
Available everywhere next Friday. Stream Pre-Release on SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/poetronica-records/sets/mudras-mantras-in-motion-by

*New album inspired by International Yoga Day Miami*

What a restorative and inspiring weekend at the International Yoga Day Miami Health & Wellness Summit, hosted by Namaste Life Events at the Miami-Dade County Fair and Exposition Center.

A heartfelt thank you to the many teachers, practitioners, musicians, and wellness leaders who shared their gifts over these two days. Special gratitude to Soundbath Wedding Co, Richard Brookens of Yellow Bell Music, and Nikolai Zeinikov of ZenAudio for the immersive sound bath experiences.

I was especially moved by:
• Mirror Meditation with Shireen Chada from Brahma Kumaris
• Protecting Your Energy in a Hyperconnected World with Kirsy Espejo Kind Wholeness Inc. Non Profit
• Heart-Centered Meditation & Relaxation with Heartfulness Institute
• Reiki Recharge with Bernice Pierre at Yoga@Heart
• Bioenergetic Healing with Patrick Merkel from Human Battery

And to the many other workshop facilitators, vendors, and community members who helped create such a welcoming space for growth, reflection, and connection, thank you.

I filled pages of notes throughout the weekend and found myself inspired to turn those lessons into music. The result is a new concept album, Mudras & Mantras in Motion. This collection of tracks designed for both movement and meditation, inspired by the wisdom shared throughout the summit.

🎧 Pre-release now available on SoundCloud.
https://on.soundcloud.com/C9gM0hflaYw34NNZUf
🎶 Coming soon to all major streaming platforms.

May it bring you a little more presence, peace, and joy in motion.

Namaste. 🙏

New album dropped today!

“In the Quiet Between: Love Stories”

Stream the album here:
https://tr.ee/Ya7MtVctsJ

This is a concept album about the stages of love but not through one relationship.

Every track follows a different couple.
Different lives. Different dynamics.
Each story told through a different musical genre.

From instantly knowing someone…
to questioning what this is…
to building, drifting, breaking, moving on, staying together.

Because love isn’t just found in the beginning or the end. It lives in the quiet between.

04/25/2026

Ahead of our May 8 release, we’re excited to share something special. Our 7th album, In the Quiet Between: Love Stories, begins to unfold with the very first Dust & Clay lyric video.

“Jardin de los Dos” is a poetronica track from this upcoming concept album, which explores every stage of love. This particular piece centers on care, intimacy, and connection, carried by a reggaeton-inspired rhythm.

Watch the video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/LbwBTMTUtpQ?si=MpczF5Zdqls4RZRN or down below.

This album also marks the beginning of Phase III: Mythos, a new trilogy blending poetry and electronic sound in ways that feel both fragile and expansive. Proud to start sharing this chapter. More to come soon.

✨ The Dust & Clay Musi-Verse Phase 3, Mythos, begins.

I’m currently working on my 7th album, the first in a new three-part series.

Album Title:
In the Quiet Between: Love Stories

This is a concept album where each track tells a different love story,
different people, different dynamics, each expressed through a different musical genre.

But at the core, it’s about something we all recognize:

❤️ The stages of love.

The spark of discovering someone.
The uncertainty before it’s real.
The choice to build.
The highs and lows.
The drifting. The breaking. The growth.

Because love isn’t just about how things begin or end,
it’s about everything that happens in between.

After more than 20 years of shared experiences, two lifelong friends finally came together for their first full project.

Energy Flow, Dust & Clay Album 6, is now live on Spotify (and most major streaming platforms), distributed by DistroKid, & produced by Poetronica Records LLC.🚀

This one is different.

Their journeys have been connected for decades, influencing the writing the entire time. But this is the first time it all comes together in one body of work.

The album started with a simple idea. One friend’s vision for a concept project, shaped by a life lived ahead of its time. Long before “digital nomad” was even a term, he was already living it 🌍

That perspective, those experiences, and that history are all woven into this album.

If you’ve been following the journey, this is a big moment.
If you’re just finding it now, welcome.

Spotify Presave for the new album dropping April 10th:
Energy Flow is now LIVE 🚀

This one’s different.
Album 6 is a collab with one of my closest friends. He’s been part of this writing journey for over 20 years.

This whole concept album? His idea.
An elder-statesman digital nomad before that was even a term 🌍

Yeah… presaving takes a second (we know 😅), but it makes a real impact. It tells the algorithm this project matters and helps it reach way more people on release day.

If you’ve been rocking with us, this is the best way to support 💛
