  • [Single] Ichi-Go Ichi-E

    Ichi-Go Ichi-E - Latte Chill

    Experimental instrumental beats single Ichi-Go Ichi-E right from Shogunate EP is here. The single features 2 new lofi songs inspired by the Far East.

    But only vaguely. I mean again this is an experimental single and in general an experimental EP. I produced many of these songs on the go. Either I used Koala Sampler or Pocket Operator 33 KO. It depended on my mood.

    I believe both are perfect budget lofi samplers. Biggest difference maybe lies on the fact that Koala Sampler is always in my pocket (as my smartphone). On the other hand PO-33 KO has knobs and buttons. Makes it more vibey to compose beats.

    Returning to Ichi-Go Ichi-E, I enjoy many books recently on the topic of how to live, Japanese lifestyle etc. I have some albums already with this topic, like Wabi-Sabi. This is why I claimed that it is inspired by the Far East.

    Got into the vibe as well? Give it a spin below.

    If you like the song, grab it through the link on top (click on the cover). Don’t forget to wait and listen to Kintsugi II. It is a single B-Side exclusive song (now free). Enjoy them both.

  • [Single] Rose Kabuki

    Rose Kabuki single

    First single of Shogunate (2023) is Rose Kabuki, an oriental, yet experimental lofi beat produced with PO-33 KO.

    The song features elements of the Far East with regards to scales used for the song as well as instruments. On the other hand, it can be considered as a pretty much experimental beat with sampled drums and overall production with the Pocket Operator.

    The latter is a budget sampler I acquired in 2021 to boost my lofi beats. It is probably the best for beginners and as long as you do not wish to perform with a bigger set. Read more about it through the linked article.

    As always, enjoy the single for free through the link above (by clicking the cover) and check the song below with the embed player. Hit play button and listen to the latest Latte Chill songs.

    If Bandcamp is not your taste, find the YouTube link as well below.

    Thanks for checking my latest beat. I swear, I am to come back with a new single very soon. Until then, enjoy Shogunate and Hospital Playlist EPs. Find both of them under Music section and scroll for the free songs as well.

  • [EP #44] Shogunate

    shogunate experimental lofi

    44th EP is out, Shogunate is a 4 piece experimental batch of lofi sketches featuring both sampled chill and house beats as well. Click on the cover on top to learn more about this release. Read further to enjoy the beats instantly.

    You can find Shogunate on both my Bandcamp page and other stream platforms as well. Keep following me for more beats and do let me know if I missed any of the platforms you are regularly using. I am trying to expand my boundaries day-by-day and explore more and more channels for my lofi beats.

    On the other hand I take my time experimenting as well. This is how Shogunate was born. Most of the songs were sketched while travelling. I used Koala Sampler app and Pocket Operator 33 as samplers on the go.

    As a result (and maybe because these songs were produced in different places) I offer you a fully experimental, yet eclectic collection of 4 songs. Some are pretty laid back and offer a chill vibe, while others are more upbeat, almost lofi house like beats. To embrace it fully, hit play button above or check my embed YouTube link below.
