Official Music Video

“Elusive yet captivating, Japanese Onsen draws you gently into the depths of your emotions, each encounter awakening a different place, a different moment in time. The video unfolds like a dream—capturing and savoring fleeting beauty, and caressing your spirit with the serene warmth of a Japanese hot spring.”

Bill Kelly, Founder of the Winter Music Conference

Japanese Onsen by Monster Taxi – the brainchild of Miami composer, producer, and musician Jason Klein, immerses listeners in a sonic journey shaped by a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Japan with his son. From the serene rhythm of Kinosaki’s hot spring villages to the timeless grace of Kyoto’s shrines and temples, the piece reflects the harmony of Japan’s landscapes where tradition and tranquility meet. A soundtrack echoing steaming onsens, hillside vistas, and the artistry of Kaiseki meals, the song captures the essence of discovery beyond Tokyo and Osaka’s vibrant bustle. This evocative composition pays homage to a father and son’s shared adventure, a memory etched into melody, forever calling them back to Japan’s spirit of renewal.

Miami-based music producer and keyboard player Jason Klein, aka Monster Taxi, has licensed and created music on several major and indie labels, including Ministry of Sound, Universal, Sony, and Fania, to name a few. His originals and remixes have been played on the radio and have been charted on Billboard, DJ Times, and others. Through BMG Records, he recreated pop and dance versions of disco band Foxy’s Get Off and took masters of Cuban classic artist Beny More, turning his music into current pop and dance. In addition to electronic dance music, Jason (Monster Taxi) is heavily inspired by artists such as Vangelis, Air, Massive Attack, Khruangbin, Radiohead, and Lana Del Rey. He is currently composing several Trip Hop, New Age, Downtempo, and Cinematic songs, of which two, Reflect and Field of Dreams, are in heavy rotation on Sirius XM’s SPA Channel and other radio and streaming programming. He has more than 1.8 million streams on Spotify and over 115 playlists in the chill, new age, trip hop, and deep house genres.

Working on the idea that music is a universal language, Leni’s aim is to create music that can be understood by everyone, and takes her influence from such diverse musicians as classical artists Deubssy and Ravel, and more contemporary, pop artists, such as James Brown, The Beatles, and The Beach Boys. The fusion of genres is all part of her individual style
