  • [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.

  • [Single] Rust Borough

    Rust Borough is the last single from Sapphire album. Click on the cover and grab it for free.
    The song is a lo-fi beat but the upbeat type of. Fully composed with PO-33 KO. A little pocket sampler released by Teenage Engineering. It was composed during my trip to Lefkada if I recall it well. Therefore pretty minimalist as I did not use DAW or even Koala Sampler.

    The cover of Rust Borough on the other hand features a photo from my trip to Tokyo. It was in 2019. We shot many photos randomly with my wife. Some turned out to be perfect cover materials for my releases. I edited it with Snapseed and used Adobe smartphone apps either. I mean for the titling and adding some texts.

    As for the song: Rust Borough is inspired by a Pokémon game. You may guess which. I replayed it after like 10+ years. As a result I started working on some beats and later released them. Sapphire is like the first part of a duo album. More to come in 2022 I promise. Keep following, not to miss what happens after Rust Borough.
