  • Spring Nite Beats Mix – Latte Chill [Live Balcony 22/04/11] #spring #KoalaSampler #chill

    Spring Nite Beats Mix in 2020 was my first DJ on our balcony 2 years before. Now as an anniversary I am testing something completely new out there. It is my first attempt to DJ on Koala Sampler. Keep in mind that this mix is an experimental van with some lo-fi house and electro beats.

    About Spring Nite Mixes

    Spring Nite Mixes is on one side a relatively fresh set of mixes by Latte Chill project. On the other hand quite important one. It was my first attempt to DJ on our balcony with a Novation Launchpad mini in 2020. Two years later I DJ-ed my beats with Koala Sampler and Akai Pro LPD-8. In short this mix is offering a something new to the viewer.

    I also changed a bit the video style for this live. Furthermore it is not a fully chill-out and lo-fi mix. I intend to add some odd beats such as chiptune songs or 8-bit sampled Game Boy Advance beats. It offers a more catchy and upbeat mix. I hope you will like it.

    Songs where gathered from several releases including Masters EP – a pad chill release from 2020 with electro beats. Stock Stories, an experimental PO-33 KO produced 8 song mini. Spring Nite Mix is in need of some lo-fi house beats. Urban Lo-fi offered Berlin House to keep up with the tempo. Travellers hit stream platforms early this year nominating several songs for the mix. Rock 128 and Soul Silver albums are offering the chiptune beats of the mix. Lastly, Sapphire and A Drop of Water offered some free songs for Spring Nite Mix. Find the beats below if you liked them.

  • Popular lo-fi music topics II.

    lo-fi music questions 2

    To my greatest surprise my previous article on misc lo-fi related myths, questions and topics was welcome. So here I go again. Fully subjective, based on my opinion and of course preparing some desktop research for you if the topic requires.

    Is lo-fi music good for studying?

    This is an interesting question to start with. According to an article published on Vaughn College. Funnily according to the article the imperfection like low hums and fails help the brain focus better. The article also suggests to create your own lo-fi playlist if you are unhappy with the ones you can find. Furthermore suggests not to forget classical music either. My personal opinion is that taste matters a lot. Someone who is not fan of classical music, Wagner won’t be the optimal choice for study music.

    What is lo-fi music genre?

    In short lo-fi music stands for low fidelity music. A genre emerging from the past and living its renaissance nowadays. It offers that great old vinyl warm with hisses and cracks. It offers a peaceful vibe. Furthermore it tends to be not perfect. If you wish to read more, check my longer post on this topic.

    How to make lofi music free?

    Well, it is not easy! I mean, the best way doing any type of music is using what you have. That means a laptop or PC (minimum). Some luck so you can download Ableton Lite from somewhere. There are tons of DAWs out there but to my point of view this is the best to start with. Then you will need some free VSTs like Izotope Vinyl and finally some free samples.

    If any of those above was not clear, find my extensive article on the topic. Sorry, not aiming to redirect but this one is a long story. The best way currently (check the date!) would be to buy Koala Sampler on your iPhone (yes iOS only!) as if I recall well, you get Ableton Lite as a pro bono. That would cost you a couple of bucks and ta-da you have both a DAW on your PC and a dope application in your pocket. As for therest (Vinyl, samples), the post is your guide above.

    Do plants like lo-fi music?

    Absolutely! I have couple of plants at home by the window. Sadly, they cannot run away (unlike my hedgehog) so they listen to my beats when I create them, when I master them. When I work on lo-fi music videos etc. And they seem to be happy. Though I guess it is also important to give them light, feed them and all other things that are important for a plant.

    Where did lofi music come from?

    From planet Mars. No! I believe this question has many answers. First, lofi or lo-fi itself is coming from “low fidelity” and refers to a type of imperfect music quality. On the other hand many people mix it up with chill-out music, that is more referring to a type of a mood. What many expect from “lo-fi” music, when they search for the genre on YouTube or other stream platforms.

    Why is it important? Because lo-fi has many-many sub-genres that may not be that slow or peaceful. Nor instrumental. As an example, lo-fi hip-hop is not meeting these cases. On the other hand this genre is coming from J Dilla and Nujabes. Therefore the US and Japan.

    So, I would say. Generally lo-fi music is coming from the past. It offers us a bit of look-back in sepia. It will never be perfect, but this is how we love it. On the other hand depending on which vinyl (real or virtual) we choose, we may enjoy house, hip-hop or chill-out either.

  • [Single] Moody Vinyl Record

    Moody Vinyl Record from Travellers lofi album by Latte Chill

    Moody Vinyl Record is the last and latest lo-fi single of Travellers album released 3 weeks after the LP featuring an extra unreleased song. As always, click on the cover to discover. It redirects you to my Bandcamp page where you can grab the songs and support me (if you want).

    Moody Vinyl Record has rich warm vibe imitating the cracks and hiss of an old vinyl record. It is furthermore moody and sometimes the music drops or cracks in the spin. I reached this kind of vibe using PO-33 KO with quality samples and some scratch effects.

    New video was also recorded for the new songs. Check it out above, I hope you like the matching vibe mv I created for Moody Vinyl Record.

    But it is worth mentioning that there is another song on the release. It is titled On the Road. A little upbeat lo-fi song I excluded from Travellers album right before the release. I pretty much like this song but at the end it was too much from tempo perspective. So I decided to put on a single. To me it belongs to Travellers album but not featured on the album. I wonder if it makes any sense for you. Anyways, the beats is below. Check the video or listen to it on the link under the cover.
