[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.

Birthday Beats: A Look Back at My #34 B-Day Chill Set
Birthdays are a time for celebration, reflection, and sometimes… workdays! That’s how my 34 B-day set was born. As I had to work, I decided to channel my free time and energy into something positive: creating a chill lofi mix.
This love for creating playlists, which I call “birthday chill sets,” has become a bit of a tradition. These mixes are less about a specific theme and more about capturing a vibe and personal memories associated with the music. So, let’s dive deeper into the inspiration behind the #34 B-Day Chill Set!
Tracks and Inspiration: A Blend of Memories for #34 B-day Set
The beauty of creating lofi mixes is the ability to weave together different inspirations. For the #34 B-Day Chill Set, I incorporated a variety of tracks that reflected both the introspective mood of staying home and some positive memories.
Nature Escapes: Tracks like Snowy Scene from Memories and Faro Solitaro evoke a sense of tranquility and connection with nature, a feeling I craved while stuck indoors.
Nostalgic Remixes: The birthday mix wouldn’t be complete without a touch of nostalgia. Including lofi remixes from video games like Melemele Sea from Pokemon-inspired Ultra Moon brought back happy memories.
Genre Exploration: This mix also showcases the versatility of chill beats. Stray Cats’ Waltz is a cover song with a lofi twist, while Budapest Gallop injects some urban vibes.
Ultimately, the #34 B-Day Chill Set is a snapshot of a specific moment in time, capturing a mix of emotions with the unifying thread of calming lofi aesthetics.Beyond Live Performance: Crafting a Focused Chill Mix
While my previous birthday mix involved live DJing with my equipment, the #34 B-Day Chill Set was a pre-recorded creation. This shift was due to working on my birthday (hey, the bills don’t pay themselves!), but it also allowed me to focus on crafting a more cohesive, nearly 30-minute mix ideal for studying or relaxing.
