Chillhop and Lofi edits from 10 albums

It probably shows the diversity of the Latte Chill project. After all the results came from Youtube yearly stats. Still, 10 releases had songs in the top 20. Because all Latte Chill release has some dope beats worth checking.

For this particular set you as my faithful audience nominated songs from Memories of the Untold album, which was quite a surprise. This album is more than 11 years old now. Still, Pancake Song seems to rock in case you are looking for a happy vibe upbeat song. Wabi-Sabi on the other hand is a new one just released this year. My first full album was produced on PO33. Read more about this perfect pocket lofi instrument here. This year’s early EP with 808 beats also nominated some songs. So please enjoy Memories on the roaster.

This year was sadly about diseases worldwide. As you may know, I was also infected in 2020 by the end of the year. I spent 10 days in home quarantine inspiring me to work on a full album. I ended up releasing Stay Home by the end of 2020. The warmth of lofi edits is boosted with 808 and some scratches or vocal chops. The magical recipe of a new line. This album nominated several songs to the ’21 YouTube Top 20.

Inspiration for album production

We all get inspired by the world around us. I guess on the other hand our past motivates us for a better good. This is my case with old retro Game Boy games. Here comes Leaf Green inspired by Pokémon from the ’00s. The very same game series inspired me to produce the Moon album. But this album is more nature chill over lofi edits. Both albums nominated great songs for the 2021 YouTube Top 20.

Another type of inspiration is coming from movies. I was over the top when I heard about the live-action series of Cowboy Bebop. And feeling down since due to its sudden cancellation by Netflix. Cowboy Bebop inspired me so much to compose songs based on each episode. Ending up releasing 5 EPs and LPs already between 2018 and 2019. The good news is that many of the songs were nominated to 2021’s YouTube Top 20. Some came from Bebop IV., while Bebop 2 Demo album also features a song. Maybe too early to announce, but I wish to work on further space chillhop beats inspired by the live-action series. I mean Cowboy Bebop is Cowboy Bebop. I wish to add more beats to my roaster in 2022.

Stock Stories also offered some beats for this year’s Top 20. I wonder whether the weird stock boops and blips of PO33 were the source. Or simply the titling.

Lastly, the Demon Festival is worth mentioning. A lofi edit EP fully composed on a smartphone with the Koala Sampler app.
