Peace!! My name is Abraham Beltran, and I am the host of Soundwaves, coming to you live and direct every Saturday night/Sunday morning from midnight-2am on 90.7FM KPFK (streaming and podcasting on www.kpfk.org). Every week I’ll be showcasing individual artists and groups whose primary means of promotion and exposure are the internet. This show is all about giving props and shine to these sounds that are bubbling up on the underground and don’t really have major distribution or mainstream exposure for one reason or another. I’m constantly searching the internet for new acts, seasoned acts, and pretty much any groups/artists that are doing it to death but are still beneath the radar. It’s on THIS SHOW that I hope to keep that internet buzz going and really create a sense of community among these artists and their mutual desire to gain visibility via non-traditional, non-major-label means.
Aside from being on the radio waves every Saturday from noon-2pm, this here website will be working overtime to keep you informed on these new artists via our weekly playlists, video clips, interviews, and pretty much anything else that you should be knowing about in the music realm.
I want to thank each and every one of you for stopping by the site, and I invite you to check back on the regular for that musical goodness.
Peace and blessings….
-Abraham Beltran

Mad respect friend for all the luv you send out on the airwaves. Its good to know there are others who feel wat I feel. Dig ur taste of tempo and ur attitude. Keep it up! Godspeed!
Hi abraham, I think I keep randomly catching your show en route to various places, and am really diggin it, but never get to listen to the whole thing! I finally checked the KPFK archives out to find a recording of your show, but I can’t find it on the archive list. Any idea why it’s not on there or where it is that I can find copies of old episodes? It NEEDS to be archived. Oh man.
Let me know,
and thanks much!
Just discovered your show (by way of the Dam-Funk guest episode). Love it. Do you offer podcasts of your show?
Thanks!

Came across your site via Myspace by way of Mello Music Group’s friend request.
Like many of us, what you are engaged in is awesome, due to the fact that the internet allows talented people be seen and heard by so many markets.
Will be sending some music to you from pop/soul artist Aaron LEVi out of Chicago
Peace.
Word em up…nice page. Gotta remember to check out the show more often…
Hi. You played a great piece of music on 3/21 and I thought you said the band was buipongo but I can’t find anything on line under that name. Can someone please send me the right title?
PEACE…Soundwaves is a fly site. We wanted to reach out to see what the process looks like to get some exposure on it. We have been featured on sites such as Nahright.com,DallasPenn.com,Forbezdvd.com,grandgood.com etc. Here is a some info on who we are, what we have in the works, collabs, and some links for you to peep some of our work. Any look out would be a good look, and it’d be greatly appreciated.
Timeless Truth brings Hip Hop back into it’s rightful perspective- Two lyrical MC’s, and a cut/juggle savvy Dj. These Corona/Flushing Queens natives take Hip Hop to new heights with their profound contributions as individuals and as a collective entity. Dj Precision’s battle background along with the lyrical content of brother’s Oprime & Solace together form a unit that is surely a force to reckon with. The group has a distinct history prior to their alliance, but with such a worthy chemistry, uniting as one was inevitable. Timeless Truth is currently working on a Mix-tape, as well as a group LP titled “Scene of the Rhyme”. The group has had some very intriguing collaborations to mention including production from Large Professor, Ayatollah, J-Love, Raida Ruck, PF Cuttin, and artist features such as Roc Marciano, Thirstin Howl III, Sean Price, and Kool G Rap. Stay tuned in 2009.
