POW Radio
02.10.26
Founded in 2005 by writer Jeff Weiss (The Ringer, Washington Post, GQ), POW is the last rap blog — one of the the first nationally to write about Kendrick Lamar, Danny Brown, Drakeo, 03 Greedo, and many others. In 2016, it birthed the label, POW Recordings, releasing albums from Chester Watson, Kent Loon, Fatboi Sharif, Rhys Langston, Gabe ‘Nandez, Ness Nite, Pioneer 11, The Outfit TX, Vince Ash, and Zilla Rocca.
The radio show is an extension of this far-flung sound, boasting guest mixes from the rotating cast of POW contributors that span Latin boogaloo to Soviet Jazz to West Coast street rap.
This month’s episode features guest Julia Gaeta.
Julia Gaeta is a Paris-based American musician whose work sits at the intersection of dark pop, post-punk, and atmospheric electronic music. Known for her cinematic songwriting, she blends melodic instinct with industrial and nocturnal textures.
Gaeta has recently expanded into DJing, drawing from acid, electro, techno, EBM, and breakbeat-leaning underground sounds shaped by her years in Berlin and an affinity for otherworldly soundscapes. This evolution also informs her current studio work, where rhythm and lush synths play an increasingly central role.
Following her 2024 debut EP, Blur Divine, she is set to release a run of singles and videos this year.
