    Generally Ultra Sun singles ended up being more sad even though the album offers a great mix a beats. At least to my point of view. To support this, I decided to end the list of singles with Hokulani. This lo-fi beat is rather upbeat. More a lofi house song than a chill one. I wished to show that Ultra Sun offers some surprises to the listener and it is worth giving a spin.

    The cover photo features the mountains of Lefkada, Nidri town. There’s a beautiful waterfall close to the city. But it takes an hour of walk time to get there. During that time, you can shoot such scenery if you brought your camera. As Ultra Sun is inspired by the island of the Mediterranean sea. I guess it is not a surprise that I used photos like this.

    To be honest I am not 100% sure but it is possible that Hokulani was composed in Lefkada as well. It was one of the travels I brought my PO-33 with me. I used it during the nights to jam. And many of those sketches became part of my releases.

  • [Single] Lanakila

    Lanakila is out~ New single to start November with. This is my third single, released for free from Ultra Sun album.

    From genre perspective I would say nature chill-out and lo-fi. It is due to the fact that it was produced on PO-33. Lanakila was live recorded with all its swings and minor failures if there are any. PO-33 is offering that true lo-fi vibe that is difficult to simulate with DAWs. At least you would need to use more effects by doing so.

    On the other hand it was sampled on a lo-fi sampler, that is offering a different vibe already. As for chill, well give it a spin. This song is rather slow and heavy. Generally this album is more heavy than Ultra Moon, prepare more surprising effects and rhythm chaos compare to the leaner Moon songs.

    The cover photo features a ship trip by the shores of Lefkada. Lanakila and generally Ultra Sun songs were inspired by the Mediterranean sea. You will find similar covers as part of my releases. Nature chill-out really brings such a mood that is offering sunny photos and acoustic instruments. I hope you will enjoy chilling with Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon albums.

  • [Single] Ruins of Hope

    Ruins of Hope cover

    Ruins of Hope is the second single of Ultra Sun album. I would describe this song as an Asian lo-fi chill beat. I produced the song on PO-33 KO. A little lo-fi sampler I acquired in mid-2021. Ever since becoming my number one tool for lo-fi beat production. Why? Simply, it is easy to work on beats. Instead of booting up and loading many project. Instead of turning on my PC, I just hit play and here I go.

    Of course I change samples regularly and it takes some effort to make good sketches with it. Still, Ruins of Hope is a perfect example what PO-33 is capable of.

    With regards to the song, it is a true nature chill-out song with acoustic samples being used. I added no arps or anything. As a result the song is pretty slow and chill.

    Ultra Sun came with further singles as well. Keep following to get the latest news. Also if you liked the song, feel free to download it.
