  • 4 Steps to Building a Great Spotify Playlist

    spotify playlist

    You’ve probably heard about Spotify playlist before, but have you ever wondered what they’re really like? In this article, we’ll explain everything you need to know about them.

    Create a Spotify Playlist

    If it is possible, do it on a PC or laptop, you will be able to choose the songs much faster. To start creating a playlist, open your Spotify and click on “Create new playlist”. You can find it in the top right corner of the screen. Then choose a name for your playlist and add as many songs as you’d like. I would suggest you to try and look for a unique name that gives your playlist a twist, but also use some words that reflects on the genre, to make it easily searchable. So, in my case that would be “lo-fi” or “chill” and something unique. If you want to remove a song, just hover over it and press the X button.

    Try to build your Spotify Playlist with music from artists you love

    If you’re looking to make a playlist that will be followed, it is worth adding what you love. So head off to your fave artists and find your fave songs to add.

    First, choose an artist you enjoy listening to. Then, click on the Browse tab at the top left corner of the Spotify app and select Artists. Then, scroll through the list until you find an artist you’d like to add to your playlist. Finally, click on the Add button next to the artist’s name to add them to your playlist.

    Of course if you had all of them in your head already, you can add them like explained in the first article. I only wished to show you another way to populate your Spotify Playlist.

    Listen to it!

    Once you’ve made your playlist, you can start sharing it by clicking on the Share button at top right corner of the Spotify app.

    But!

    I would daresay give it some time. Listen to it over and over again. Similarly to artists, who tend to listen to their beats after the demo, then after mixing. Finally, once the master is ready, they keep listening to a few days in order to make sure everything is in it. It is worth giving time for Spotify Playlists.

    Share it with friends

    Once you are happy with your playlist, share it. Early adopters are very important and hopefully you have a bunch of good mates on Discord, Facebook etc, you can share your playlist with. Ask them to give you honest review. This way they will listen to your fresh Spotify Playlist that boosts your performance.

    If you want to share your playlist with others, click on the Share button at the top right corner of the screen. In the new window that pops up you can choose who you’d like to share your playlist with. You can also add tags to help people find your playlist.

  • Finding chill on Napster

    I know it is lame to start a Napster content like this. But NAPster, I hope you get it now~

    So, let’s talk about this music platform. You might be surprise if you were active in the ’00s as this name meant something completely different. In short Napster was a music share P2P solution, a quite popular in fact. Even though they have been used by many, back then it was pretty difficult to control copyright over the internet (it is still a challenge though). So after a few lost legal cases they went bankrupt.

    Still, this 4 years were enough to build a brand, which is crazy.

    Finding chill music on Napster

    Well, I’m happy to announce that I am present on the channel with my discography. You can find me here. Fun fact that according to their algorithm, I’m considered to be “World Pop”, “Jazz” – I take this part as a complement. Furthermore “Electronica/Dance”, which is more or less OK, if I consider Akira EP, but in majority…

    To my major surprise I’m even considered to be “Latin Rap/Hip-Hop”, “Folk” and lastly “Holiday Music”.

    So one thing is certain lo-fi and chill music is either unknown for Napster, or I need to change a bit my style ha-ha. Sadly, no chance to log in as an artist or to claim the channel, but hey. Fun thing to be part of the legend.

    Finally, I wished to embed here some songs and albums. But you may have guessed it already – I found no option to do so. So, find Stay Home’s link here, if you are into Napster lo-fi beats.

  • Chill Music for Focus & Productivity

    Chill music for focus and productivity

    Chill music has been used by musicians and artists for decades to create an atmosphere that encourages creativity and relaxation. It’s also great for getting things done at home or in the office. Without any further ado, please find my list of 5 fave chill music below

    The Top 5 Best Chill Out Music For Focus And Productivity (Chillout)

    5) Calm Zen Lofi Night (HipHop Instrumental)

    And in general Chillhop Music channel. Great collection of chill beats, I find them worth following to hear what is trendy and learn more about upcoming music producers.

    4) j’san – in time

    j’san is a great chill artist known for his chill piano plays. Worth following his channel. He is releasing songs regularly so it is highly advised to click on the subscribe button.

    3) DDBY – Old under the sun (from Cafe de Touhou 2)

    DDBY is offering large variety of coffee chill beats and lounge vibe music from Japan. Luckily they also have a channel featuring great songs for free. This one is a bit different from the rest on the list with the café vibe. But DDBY is a regular guest on my playlists.

    2) DJ Krush – Stellar Wind

    I could have chose among many other if we are talking about DJ Krush. One of my biggest fave chill producers ever. Luckily he travels a lot across the globe. So keep your eyes open and make sure to buy a ticket for his gigs when he’s around. He is on the field for more than 30 years now. Chill, lo-fi and hip hop are all essential genres for him. You may even see him performing in Buddhist churches. A really awesome chill DJ.

    1) DJ Okawari – Flower Dance

    Not as well-known as DJ Krush but a great chill DJ. DJ Okawari is younger and offering less albums, still to my point of view a great and influential artist. The songs are a bit more mellow, less lo-fi (again to my point of view). Kind of perfect for both working or even during talk with friends. It may serve as a perfect background music, but you can enjoy his beats while walking.

    +1) Latte Chill – Midnight Melody

    It marks my return to my solo project as well as my first song after a rough 5 year break. This song really means a lot and well, I believe it is a good chill music beat at the end. Give it an ear yourself and grab it for free if you like it.
