Klinsmann Sets Sail with New Single “Paper Boat”
Malta’s beloved singer-songwriter Klinsmann is back with “Paper Boat“, his third single. This song invites listeners into an intimate journey of feeling lost, searching for connection, and holding onto hope.
“Paper Boat” captures the feeling of drifting through life’s uncertainties, much like a fragile boat on a vast sea. The song’s central image (a red paper boat) symbolizes both vulnerability and quiet strength, a reflection of the ups and downs we all experience. Through tender acoustic melodies and heartfelt lyrics, Klinsmann paints a picture of longing, resilience, and self-discovery.
Taking inspiration from the storytelling magic of Ed Sheeran, Passenger, and Damien Rice, “Paper Boat” strips everything back to its core – just an honest voice and a simple yet powerful melody. It’s a song for anyone who has ever felt adrift, hoping to find their way back to solid ground.
The single’s artwork beautifully echoes its themes, featuring a lone red paper boat floating in an endless sea. It’s a powerful reminder that even in moments of solitude, we are never truly alone.
Get ready to let this song carry you away – it’s one that will stay with you long after the final note.
Bay Area beatmaker/visual artist DJ Design returns with new single “I Wanna Be Free” (Below System Records). Washes of synth collide with a dense horn arrangement and snappin’ drums.

While more of a behind-the-scenes player DJ Design’s (aka Keith Griego) work has had a sizable imprint on the history of modern hip-hop. As a DJ/Beatmaker and visual artist he has contributed production and art since the late 90’s for notables including The Beastie Boys, Madlib, A.G., Foreign Legion, Rasco, Peanut Butter Wolf and Phat Kat.
As a visual artist, his high point of work with the label was his design of the 12” vinyl cover for Lootpack member Madlib’s side project Quasimoto. The cover for “Microphone Mathematics” featured Design/Griego’s visual representation of Lord Quas as a sort of alien aardvark, which was adopted by the artist and has since become one of the most iconic and enduring
characters in the game today.
