  • 2022 lofi releases

    lo-fi hip hop

    Getting closer to the end of the year, I thought a sum up 2022 lofi releases in a short article for you. I hope you join me in this journey of lofi and chill sketches.

    2022 lofi releases: albums

    Let’s start with the albums. 2022 kicked off with Travellers, my 20th album since 2007. This one has a particular story and a timeline of 3 years production, so I guess it is worth reading.

    Followed by Rock 128, a chiptune LP that was fully composed on a PO-128.

    Finally #22 – Ruby album. While Ruby is the pair (and second half) of Sapphire album, it is different in many aspects. Without going too deep in this topic I would say this 2022 lofi release is pretty complex and happier piece of Latte Chill over the first part.

    2022 lofi releases: EPs

    In the second part I will cover chill EPs I have released in 2022. In this part of the article I will feature much more beats. Let’s start it:

    Café Tokyo in May, celebrating urban Tokyo vibe and night life with smooth jazz and blues sample based beats.

    Followed by Cowboy Gospel, an EP inspired by Cowboy Bebop live action series of Netflix. Fun fact of both EPs (and many of the rest), that I have been using photos we took with my wife, when we travelled to Tokyo in 2019.

    Up in the Air is different. It is very much different as it features upbeat songs and some with lyrics as well. I worked on the beats with my pal, Viktor and decided to release it after 4 years of work time.

    Going on with the Cowboy Bebop line, the second EP was Venus Pop with again 4 new songs.

    The 3rd part of the Bebop live series inspired lofi 4 piece sketches was Dog Star Swing with another batch of new beats and Tokyo photo cover.

    Another Viktor collaboration EP was released by the end of 2022 (but I can already hint, 2023 will feature some more!) – Urban Night, released in November.

    Lastly, I closed December with the 4th Bebop lofi EP: Callisto Soul.

    2022 lofi releases: Compilation

    Almost lastly, but definitely not least: compilations. This year I released a couple of interesting lofi beats that were not part of the regular EP or LP due to different reasons.

    Re-releasing Stock Stories Extended (with 4 new songs) and Wabi-Sabi Extended with 4 new songs.

    Singles #8 featuring mostly last year beats.

    And Singles #9 with the free lofi beats of the albums and EPs listed above.

    B-Sides #3 of 19 songs from the past years.

    Travellers’ B-Sides with special PO-33 KO cover beats of old Latte Chill songs, part of Travellers project.

    Summer Chill with Ermine-chan – a T21CB lofi cover EP released this summer.

    Lastly, Cherryland with 12 cover songs of my old band, Dark Cherry.

    Finally, Latte Chill in bands

    Speaking of Dark Cherry, the band would be 15 years old in 2022, though we ceased all activities in 2011 after our last live by the end of 2010. Still, it seems like the 15th anniversary had some surprises with a soft relaunch of the band.

    First covering an early hit song Fly Poison.

    Followed by a recent cover of Chaos of the Moment. A punk song, that was originally released in 2008 (and now, in 2022).

    Keep following us on T21CB page either to learn more about the upcoming rock songs, if you like the genre.

  • [Single] Last Song

    Last Song - Latte Chill

    Time for the last single: Last Song closes down my 12 single run of releases. All inspired by Dark Cherry songs we either performed or played in studio.

    Listen to Last Song

    Check out my latest single either by hitting the play button above and listening it prompt. Or click on the cover and check my Bandcamp page, where you can download the single free.

    Genre is lofi chill as usual. A bit of upbeat tempo is expected due to original tune. I mean Dark Cherry was more a rock band, therefore most songs are not the best if I slow them down too much.

    Last Song was a unique song by Dark Cherry. We were about to perform it, yet somehow this song ended up in the studio. This means we actually practised it already but the band ceased activities before the debut. Funny given its title, but maybe this is why I chose this song as the closing one for Cherryland album.

    Cherryland will be the title of the album. Pre-save it through the link and wait until… 10th October. All the 12 songs will be released on every stream platforms finally.

    Also, don’t forget to check out Monster as well. Our most well-know Dark Cherry song.

  • [Single] Monster

    Monster is the 11th lofi single from upcoming album ‘Cherryland‘. While it will be 10th of October, when the album will be largely available, the story behind is more than 15 years old.

    About Cherryland and Dark Cherry

    Dark Cherry was my band along with 4 mates. We performed live between 2008 and 2010, while originally started the band 15 years before in 2007. Since then a couple of EPs and singles were released until 2011.

    In 2020 I started a project with Darkest Cherry, aiming to cover these songs occasionally.

    What makes Monster special?

    Simply, it was our first and most played song. A pretty raw metal song. That created me quite a challenge to cover it in lofi chill music. On the other hand, it became kind of a love project. I hope you will enjoy the minimalism spiced with some hip-hop beats.

    Hit play on top if you like the beat and feel free to download the song for free.

    Let me link the original Monster here as well. Just to offer you a comparison between the original and the lofi edition.

    And keep waiting a bit more. Pre-save Cherryland. More to come very soon.
