Pi Records is my ongoing love letter to modern surf/instrumental music — not the nostalgia costume version, the working version: bands writing new tunes, hauling gear, booking shows, chasing tone, and showing up for the community.
The Surf Interviews playlist is the heart of it. I sit down with players from across the scene — lifers, regional heroes, new bands with fresh ideas — and we get into how the songs get written, what the ethics are (be decent, support each other), and what’s borrowed from the past vs. what’s being pushed forward now. Less “look at my pedals,” more “here’s why we do this.”
If you’re wondering what you get from watching: a map of the scene, better listening ears, and proof surf isn’t frozen in amber — it’s global, alive, and evolving.
Not a million-view algorithm play. More like documentation. Subscribe if you want surf treated like a living culture.
