  • Birthday Beats: A Look Back at My #34 B-Day Chill Set

    Birthdays are a time for celebration, reflection, and sometimes… workdays! That’s how my 34 B-day set was born. As I had to work, I decided to channel my free time and energy into something positive: creating a chill lofi mix.

    This love for creating playlists, which I call “birthday chill sets,” has become a bit of a tradition. These mixes are less about a specific theme and more about capturing a vibe and personal memories associated with the music. So, let’s dive deeper into the inspiration behind the #34 B-Day Chill Set!

    Tracks and Inspiration: A Blend of Memories for #34 B-day Set

    The beauty of creating lofi mixes is the ability to weave together different inspirations. For the #34 B-Day Chill Set, I incorporated a variety of tracks that reflected both the introspective mood of staying home and some positive memories.

    Nature Escapes: Tracks like Snowy Scene from Memories and Faro Solitaro evoke a sense of tranquility and connection with nature, a feeling I craved while stuck indoors.

    Nostalgic Remixes: The birthday mix wouldn’t be complete without a touch of nostalgia. Including lofi remixes from video games like Melemele Sea from Pokemon-inspired Ultra Moon brought back happy memories.

    Genre Exploration: This mix also showcases the versatility of chill beats. Stray Cats’ Waltz is a cover song with a lofi twist, while Budapest Gallop injects some urban vibes.

    Ultimately, the #34 B-Day Chill Set is a snapshot of a specific moment in time, capturing a mix of emotions with the unifying thread of calming lofi aesthetics.

    Beyond Live Performance: Crafting a Focused Chill Mix

    While my previous birthday mix involved live DJing with my equipment, the #34 B-Day Chill Set was a pre-recorded creation. This shift was due to working on my birthday (hey, the bills don’t pay themselves!), but it also allowed me to focus on crafting a more cohesive, nearly 30-minute mix ideal for studying or relaxing.

    Future of B-Day Chill Mixes

    I guess more to come. I mean nothing is set – I cannot predict the amount of time I have during my birthdays but I really-really enjoy mixing chill beats. Naturally, I will do my best to produce more sets for you.

  • Autumn Mix 2021

    Autumn Mix 2021 – Latte Chill #chill #beats #autumn

    Autumn Mix 2021 and why I created this mix

    Last year during the lockdown I had more time and spent quite some time DJing my songs, creating 1 hour or 30 mins chill-out playlists based on different feelings and vibes. In 2021 we had more space and fewer lockdowns. Still, YouTube’s audience seems to like these lofi playlists. As a result: more to come.

    Autumn Mix 2021 was a bit more easier as I composed bunch of bittersweet songs in the past months.

    Tracklist:
    00:00 Shikata ga nai
    03:23 Rainy Day in Salzburg
    05:08 Lamplight
    07:06 Lotus
    09:55 Seppuku
    12:14 Haiku
    14:10 Couscous
    15:54 Wela Volcano
    19:06 Ten Carat Hill
    22:16 Paniola (Ultra Moon version)
    24:55 Yanbaru Jungle
    27:30 Spiritual Anguish

    Albums and EPs used for Autumn Mix 2021

    First I grabbed quite some songs from Wabi-Sabi. This album marks the start of a new era producing songs with PO-33 KO, a little battery-supported sampler. I also nicked some beats from the Ultra Moon album. This LP has quite a story behind it. If you have some time – click on the link and read the connection between Moon, Ultra Moon, and Ultra Sun albums.

    My third EP was Demon Festival, my first release produced on a mobile app. I’m not saying Koala Sampler is flawless, but if you have some good samples, you can create good songs.

    Lastly, I added 1-1 songs from both Stock Stories and Urban Lo-fi.

    About Top 10 Home Office Chill Beats V.

    I grabbed some songs for you from the Leaf Green album. My 12th album was inspired by the famous video game from the early ’00. Secondly, the Year 2017 is to be mentioned. I am proud of this album as a result of releasing a single every month in 2017, what a compilation. By the way, this set features the ’17 August song (Desert Funk). In case you like the song, scroll down a bit and grab it for free.

    Chilling Ermines is a special album that features lofi covers from my old band. I worked for months on this release as the workflow was pretty much different than my usual one. You may guess that I rarely make covers to be honest. As a result, clearly this album is pretty much of an oddball among the other Latte Chill albums. While A Drop of Water is a true nature chill-inspired EP, released in 2020.

    Another well-liked song: Lamplight was originally released on Demon Festival. I consider this EP to be lofi, chill, and experimental in the same time – given the fact that it was fully produced on a smartphone app.

    More about this Home Office mix

    The last song is Mahogany. I grabbed it from the Soul Silver album, which is an 8-bit release. Another name for this genre is chiptune. In fact, to remain loyal to the genre, I sampled the beats using recorded GameBoy sounds. The rare thing, on the other hand, is that I have a song from a best of compilation album as well. The Dozens version of The Real Folk Blues is part of the set.

    My choice from Memories EP was Evening Call. While Black Dog Serenade is a free song you can grab below. It was released on Bebop III. A space chill EP, where every episode was inspired by Cowboy Bebop anime. Lastly Nothingness, a truly nihilistic song from Café Yami album.
