  • Chill Mixtery #7

    Chill Mixtery #7 is out with 26 songs. More than an hour long lo-fi mix featuring albums from 2021 and 2022. This mix marks the start of PO-33 KO. A new instrument I bought in the early 2021 and used as a primary instrument in case of my recent albums.

    This hefty mix features the following albums: Wabi-Sabi. An Asian oriental chill-out album and the first full album produced with PO-33. It was followed by Ultra Moon. The first recap of Moon album: nature chill-out in lo-fi. More simple. Easier to listen. And again, composed on PO-33. I was using these times (2021 summer) to master that pocket sampler. The second half was titled Ultra Sun. Similarly to Ultra Moon, the release featured tons of new songs inspired by the Pokémon game I was playing on. The forth release is titled Sapphire. Inspired by a video game as well, the most songs on the other hand were composed during my holiday in Lefkada. No DAWs or samples, only my PO-33 KO and one set of sounds. I enjoyed this way of creative work. Finally, Travellers. One of my biggest lo-fi projects in the past years.

    Singles of Chill Mixtery #7

    Find below the list of singles being featured in this mix. I believe that’s a major piece of news to add, that more than 16 singles are being featured. Almost all of them are free (2 costs 1€ each). All linked below for you. Chill Mixtery #7 is a true chilling mix I put together for you. Sums up my past year and the first half of 2022.

  • Free music samples – where to find them?

    free music samples

    Free music samples are essential if you are into lo-fi and chill beat making. Generally we visualise old vinyls being recorded and chopped up for your next dope song. But it is not that simple.

    Mind royalty and copyright

    To begin with, if you wish to live off and share your beats on Spotify, Apple Music and other stream platforms, most likely you will not sample vinyls. The reason is quite simple – that vinyl is an artistic product of a fellow musician. Simply using it as a sample without the artists’ consent is stealing. Some on the other hand is doing so, after all if you chop it well, YouTube ID might not notice it. Oh well.. Let me share you different (and more legal) aspects in this article so you can make sure, that your lo-fi beat is 100% legal.

    Free music samples #1 – Music Radar

    Music Radar is a great place offering up to date news with regards to music, instruments and much more. As a side project they are featuring free samples in tens of genres since ages. Personally I wish to put them as number one source as they are perfect for starters. You can find easy to use samples either you are to produce your first beat with DAW, smartphone app or physical sampler.

    Click here to get 75k+ free samples

    Pro:
    – easy to overview/search
    – clear description on legal part for every sample
    – huge database

    Con:
    – Might find the barrel after a while in terms of quality (depending on your genre)
    – No way to set up an e-mail alert on new samples, have to check the page regularly

    Free music samples #2 – Bedroom Producers Blog

    Clearly the most well-known blog for home music producers. Though I have to say, recently more and more beat makers to go out for more inspiration. Regardless, I believe this blog is kind of a must follow page. They have tons of interesting articles (maybe too much, depending on how much time you have). But perfect if you are into DAWs and sample collecting. You can read about great VSTs, check the free/lite versions. And occasionally find some free music samples. Again it is also genre-less. But well, let us be honest: lo-fi is a small genre and we can implement other genres (hip-hop, jazz, lounge) into our beats easily. So worth following!

    Pro:
    – Many articles, regular updates
    – Free samples almost every week
    – With RSS you can track new posts easier (plus mail subscription is also available)

    Con:
    – Linking to other pages – have to be careful with copyright / check details
    – Many articles – maybe too much time to time

    Free music samples #3 – Upstream Squad

    Update 2023 – this site is not working anymore 🙁

    I found them recently. Upstream Squad is a great growing page offering large variety of VSTs and free music samples. What made them different from Bedroom Producers Blog that they had a great weekly update newsletter introduced maybe even earlier. What does it mean? I am usually not checking my mails during the weekend. Being someone working with digital marketing round the clock – weekends are more like internet detoxing. Therefore I start my weeks with Upstream Squads weekly top 3 samples and instruments. These newsletters are my perfect boosts for Monday. I guess a subscription to their mails will only offer you more samples.

    Pro:
    – Regular/weekly updates
    – Great newsletter
    – You can track your downloaded materials if you create a free account

    Con:
    – Linking to other pages – have to be careful with copyright / check details
    – A bit limited in terms of samples compare to the previous 2 sources

    These are my best places to get free music samples. I hope you enjoyed my article. Please note that this article is not paid. I am not receiving anything from the pages above (besides the free samples ha-ha). My point is that my purpose was to support upcoming lo-fi and chill-out beat makers to produce better songs. Any comments are welcome.

  • [Compilation] B-Sides #3

    b-sides #3 latte chill

    Click on the cover to read more about B-Sides #3 compilation album with lo-fi and chill-out beats spiced with nature chill and chiptune songs.

    B-Sides #3 offers an hour of beats no break. I released many albums and EPs through 2021 and the early months of 2022. Many of them were under production for years. As a result I ended up having many b-side beats. I mean songs that are OK and ready, yet they did not fit my albums and EPs. This particular compilation album features 19 songs from more than 6 different releases. In fact the story of this album goes back to 2019, when I started working on Travellers album.

    If you wish to listen to the album, check the Spotify link above embed or look for my video on my YouTube page. In case you wish to download the songs. Almost all of them costs nothing or 1€. In order to find them, click on the cover. The main page of B-Sides #3 features every release in touch with the compilation album.

    For any further comments, look for me on my social media pages or drop a comment below. Finally, as always: thank you for listening and supporting Latte Chill project.
