Marc Biala - Streaming Soon… but Not on Netflix!

Austin, Texas just got a fresh dose of indie magic — and it comes with a side of popcorn, a comfy couch, and a whole lot of sass. Marc Biala, one of the city’s most standout and unapologetically authentic indie artists, is gearing up to drop his brand-new single, Netcflickin, on September 5, 2025. And let’s be real… if you know Marc, you already know this is going to be more than just a song. It’s a mood. It’s a vibe. It’s a whole binge-worthy experience.

The title alone tells you everything you need to know. Marc is a self-proclaimed Netflix addict — the kind who doesn’t just “watch a few episodes” but fully commits to twelve-hour marathons like it’s an Olympic sport. From cult documentaries to cheesy rom-coms, from intense thrillers to wild reality TV, Marc has probably seen it all… twice. So when he writes a song called Netcflickin, you know it’s inspired by real, lived-in, remote-in-hand experience.

But this isn’t just some fun little streaming joke — Marc has turned it into an anthem. The track blends witty storytelling with his signature indie-pop-meets-electronic production, creating a soundtrack for anyone who’s ever texted “just one more episode” at 3 a.m. The song’s hook? Catchy enough to get stuck in your head faster than Netflix asks, “Are you still watching?”

Alongside the single, Marc is serving up a full visual feast. The Netcflickin music video, dropping the same day, is part love letter to streaming culture, part comedic masterpiece. Picture Marc in a fluffy robe, surrounded by snacks, flipping through endless titles while dancing around the living room. It’s playful, relatable, and guaranteed to make you laugh — and then immediately add the song to your playlist.

While the single is quirky and fun, Marc Biala’s presence in the music world is anything but one-dimensional. As a proud LGBT activist, Marc uses his platform to amplify voices, advocate for inclusion, and break down barriers in the indie scene. His music, interviews, and community work all share a common thread: authenticity. He doesn’t just sing about life — he lives it in a way that makes people feel seen.

In the heart of Austin, Marc’s name is already buzzing in coffee shops, record stores, and live venues. His earlier releases have earned him a loyal following that spans far beyond Texas, and Netcflickin feels like the next big leap. Fans love that he can turn everyday moments — whether it’s heartbreak, activism, or a night of streaming — into art that connects.

September 5, 2025, isn’t far away, and the hype is real. Here at Melodic Playground, we’re beyond excited to introduce Netcflickin to our network, spin it on our station, and share the video and artwork with our listeners. Marc Biala isn’t just releasing a song; he’s inviting us all to press play, grab the snacks, and join him for a musical binge session we won’t forget.

Until then, keep your Wi-Fi strong and your calendars marked. The stream-worthy single of the year is coming.

KCMO Artist Spotlight - Young Rillo

Every now and then, an artist comes through and makes us stop what we’re doing, turn the volume up, and really listen. That’s exactly what happened when Young Rillo landed in our inbox. Straight outta Kansas City, Missouri, this brother is the truth. And now that he's officially part of the Melodic Playground Radio family, it’s only right we let y’all know what time it is.

Let’s talk about that joint “H.E.R.” featuring Kevin Church Johnsons. Man, this one right here? It’s a whole vibe. It’s smooth, it’s soulful, it’s storytelling with substance. Rillo ain’t just throwing bars—he’s painting pictures. And Kevin? That brother brought some grown-man soul to the mix. The way the two of them play off each other is magic. This ain’t no fast food music—this is that real deal, cook-it-slow, feel-it-deep type of joint.

But hold up… just when we thought we had Rillo figured out, he flipped the energy and hit us with “Got Me Lit Up”. And let me tell you—that one’s a whole summer anthem. That’s backyard BBQ music. That’s pull-up-on-ya-people-feeling-good music. It’s confident. It’s catchy. It’s the one you blast on repeat while you shine on your haters. Rillo showed us both sides—emotional depth and big flex energy. And we’re here for all of it.

Now over here at Melodic Playground, we don’t just spin songs—we break artists. We support the ones that deserve more ears, more light, and more love. And Rillo? He’s exactly the kind of artist we get excited about. Ain’t no gimmicks, ain’t no chasing trends—just raw talent, real stories, and a style that can ride in any region.

Rillo’s got that Midwest hunger, but his flow got West Coast ease. He makes it look easy, but you can tell it comes from a place of grind, lessons, and lived experience. Whether he’s rapping about love, loyalty, or leveling up, there’s purpose behind every word.

We’re not just proud to have him on the station—we’re honored. Real talk.

So if you ain’t caught the wave yet, now’s your chance. Go run up “H.E.R.”. Then hit “Got Me Lit Up” and tell me that ain’t a heater. Trust me, once you hear Young Rillo, you’ll get it.

Kansas City stand up—your boy is out here putting on heavy.

And to the rest of the world? Pay attention. Rillo’s not just up next. He’s already here.

Welcome to the Playground, fam.

Paul Geno – A True Voice of the Red, White & Blue

There’s a new name lighting up the airwaves here at Melodic Playground Radio, and we’re thrilled to make it official: Paul Geno is the latest artist to join our ever-growing indie music family. Paul Geno brings a global perspective, heartfelt lyrics, and good old-fashioned American spirit to the indie scene. With the release of his latest single, “Hi Howdy America,” Geno has captured the essence of summer, freedom, and cross-cultural connection in one unforgettable anthem.

From the very first spin, “Hi Howdy America” stood out as a bold, catchy, and refreshingly sincere record. It's a summer soundtrack for backyard barbecues, road trips, and flag-waving celebrations—a song that embraces the red, white, and blue with style, soul, and substance. With crisp guitar riffs, an easygoing groove, and Paul’s warm vocal delivery, it’s no wonder the track immediately earned a spot in daily rotation on Melodic Playground Radio.

But that was only the beginning.

Impressed by the strength and originality of “Hi Howdy America,” we reached out to Paul to see what else he had in the vault. What we received was nothing short of amazing. His follow-up single, “What Am I Supposed to Do,” shows another side of his artistry—emotionally raw, musically rich, and lyrically thoughtful. While “Hi Howdy America” waves the flag with joy and optimism, “What Am I Supposed to Do” dives into deeper waters, asking the kind of questions that live in every honest artist’s heart.

With two stellar tracks now playing daily on our station, it’s clear Paul Geno isn’t just a one-hit wonder—he’s a genuine force on the indie music landscape. His sound blends folk-rock warmth with Americana storytelling, creating a vibe that’s both timeless and timely. His songs invite listeners in, offering comfort, questions, and connection. Whether you're dancing in the kitchen or reflecting by the fire, there's a Paul Geno track that fits the mood.

As always, Melodic Playground Radio is about more than just playing great music. We aim to celebrate the stories behind the songs, and we’re eager to learn more about Paul’s journey—from his roots in Papua New Guinea to his love affair with American music culture. Who inspired him? What fuels his writing process? What’s next on his musical roadmap? You can expect answers to all that and more in the upcoming issue of Melodic Playground Magazine, where we’ll be spotlighting Paul and several other standout artists from our growing radio family.

We encourage all of our listeners and supporters to discover more of Paul Geno’s work by visiting his Bandcamp page, where his latest tracks are available for streaming and download. Supporting indie artists like Paul is what keeps the spirit of independent music alive and thriving, and there’s never been a better time to jump in and become a fan.
