  • [Single] Kamikaze

    Kamikaze is my latest single from Wabi-Sabi Extended album. It is a short, less than 2 minute beat. I was experimenting with different rhythms on a chillful weekend and I ended up producing some beats for you. Kamikaze is probably my fave among the 5 beats produced.

    Fun fact: 4 of the beats are part of Wabi-Sabi Extended, whereas the last one turned out to be less chill. It is the b-side song on this single.

    Kamikaze was welcome well: on the first day 2 Spotify playlists immediately put the song on their list. Blimey, I did not even had the chance to release my video or upload the single. Personally, I find it great. I guess generally Wabi-Sabi album is pretty much able to offer such vinyl warmth vibe that has been sought by many. I can promise to produce more lo-fi beats in the future similar to this set of songs.

    About Kamikaze b-side song: Fierce Duel

    As mentioned above, besides Kamikaze there is a more faster beat featured on the lo-fi release. The song is called Fierce Duel. As the name suggests it is more a dark song. I gave the title because in my head this song is about two samurais. They are facing each other and it rains heavily. I can’t tell who is going to win, but it is quite sure that this battle will be fierce. Probably that vibe was too far from Wabi-Sabi, so I removed the beat from the extended version as well. Still, if you are interested, head to the single’s page to download or listen to it below:

    By the way as we are at this topic I can drop some notes on Kamikaze’s story as well. To me it is more remembering to them in perspective the time passed. So I do not wish to express any political opinion, whatsoever with the song. For me it is only a moment of looking up at the sky and remembering them. This is why this lo-fi song has much more chill than many of the songs even on Wabi-Sabi Extended album.

  • Beats with most videos 1-5

    The best videos. The top5. Here we come! I shall now present you the top songs from my YouTube channel with the most videos. I hope you will enjoy this little article with 5 chill-out and lo-fi songs with creative (?) videos by Latte Chill

    5) Blackthorn – 7 videos

    Vienna chill with lo-fi street photography, sunshine and walk. Really a perfect mood for the video. Blackthorn was inspired by Soul Silver game. All songs are 8-bit, chiptune ones with arpeggios and sampled notes. I used GameBoy and GameBoy Advance to achieve this sound.

    4) Sensu – 7 videos

    Sensu is a dream chill-out, instrumental beat I composed as part of Tanabata EP. Funny thing that I composed the whole chill-out EP on one night. Making the bond between the songs much closer. They are really conveying the same feeling and message. Hopefully. Give it a spin!

    As for the video, it is the start of a great journey. The Tokyo Trip in 2019. What can I say? Tokyo is really Tokyo. I made bunch of videos there. I hope you will have the time check some. It is really a place people should travel. Honestly.

    3) Endless Silence – 7 videos

    Now this was a surprise to me. I mean it is my chill-out beat. But kinda. I never really tracked the songs I am using before. I am cautious not to use a song in a playlist too many times. Especially in trip playlists. But it was a surprise to see this nature chill beat in the top 3.

    I chose an underwater video from Sardinia. It really shows the true vibe of the song. It is a nature chill-out song on one hand and a “floaty” on the other. I mean I might have overused reverb a bit, but it really gives me the vibe that I am floating, while listening to the song.

    2) Azalea – 7 videos

    Inspired by the one and only Ueno Nezu Shrine. For several reasons I found this place unforgettable while we were in Tokyo. First, it is full of azaleas. And all were blooming back then. Secondly, we did not know about the place. It was not part of our quite in-depth plans. More like we bumped into it during a free time walk with my wife. Third, most likely other tourists were unaware of this place as well. Only local people were chill by this place. And lastly, just wow. Check the video and you will see what I mean. Such harmony, such peace. A lovely place!

    1) Midnight Melody – 8 videos

    I rarely do noir as I am not confident in this genre. Although I love taking photos of Budapest in black and white, it is rare that I create a video out of them. This one is a rare example of me doing so. Latte Chill travelling the city, black and white edition. As for Midnight Melody. Well, it marks the return of Latte Chill in 2016. I guess it is no wonder I had the most videos with this song.

    I hope you enjoyed this article. Follow for more and keep listening to lo-fi until then.

  • Beats with most videos 6-10

    Getting closer to the top videos. This time featuring from 10 to 6. Latte Chill lo-fi songs with the most videos uploaded to my Youtube channel. I will also share my fave videos – 1 per each title.

    10) Rising Sun – 7 videos

    If you believed I would add some videos from Tokyo to this oriental chill beat as fave video. Well… no. Mr. Toka, our first hedgehog, bless him, was the master of baths. He really-really enjoyed walking around. This video was taken with an old waterproof camera, so you can see his little legs under the surface swimming.

    9) Cerulean – 7 videos

    Matching the colour, let us dive under the surface together and explore the sea life of Sardinia. We travelled there in 2019 and enjoyed the Italian lifestyle for a week in Portoscuso. I shared a complete playlist on my Youtube channel but I only wish to highlight this video in the post. I got a Xiaomi Mijia 4K Action Camera from my wife and started learning how to use it here. Therefore had some mistakes, but generally tried to show you the chill of the sea. Sardinia’s underwater life is just marvellous. It is perfect to record chill-out videos as well as to enjoy the moment.

    8) Olivine – 7 videos

    Here comes Vienna. Street photography, lo-fi photos and some videos from the city centre of Vienna. It is one of my fave cities. A beauty on the heart of Europe. The song is a chiptune chill-out beat inspired by Soul Silver game.

    7) Asteroid Blues – 7 videos

    Mr Toka again. He was really eager to look around if we let him out. Look at him running along the corridor checking our shoes. He was some crazy little pet hedgehog. Asteroid Blues was the perfect space ambient chill beat for this video. Originally the song was inspired by the first episode of Cowboy Bebop with the same title. An interesting episode, that was also reworked as part of the live action series.

    6) Goldenrod – 7 videos

    Roppongi night chill-out in Tokyo. Walking in Tokyo is a must for everyone who visits the city. Honestly, one the of most interesting places ever. I wish to return sometimes later in my life. I added some beats inspired by Goldenrod City of Soul Silver game to boost vibe. 8-bit chiptune just goes well with arpeggio based chill beats.
