Bit about Sneaking Snake
This song was one of the first ones where I started experimenting with effects, often used by DJs. I was heavily inspired by attending to a gig of DJ Krush (not the first time of course) in 2022.
DJ Krush is able to create such a mood while playing simple, almost jazzy and chill samples with beats broken and crushed by him live. A great experience.
So, I started experimenting with effects and more. I can’t say I am ready, more like starting a journey but this is why I decided to offer the clean version as well to you. Listen to the raw hip-hop Latte Chill can time-to-time offer.
Avaliable on Moon Festival
The song is part of Moon Festival, a recently released collaboration EP. Click on the link to find all the 4 new songs. I hope you will like the oriental chill inspired mix of beats.
2) Ruby – the second part of Pokémon inspired beats after Sapphire.
Lastly, number 1, the top of the most listened albums in 2022. What do you think? Which album managed to top all these releases? I was quite surprised myself but well, it is you listeners to tell me which releases are working. Thank you for all the listens, I will be making sure to work on similar beats like #1 in 2023.
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.
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).
