About Sakura Beat chillhop sets
Sakura beat is your perfect mix of oriental chill and chillhop beats from Latte Chill releases. I chose songs from various EPs and albums, mixing them well on every release. Firstly, I started this set with Tokyo19 EP, a truly oriental release of mine. I mean I composed all songs based on my trip to Japan in 2019.
On the other hand I added several songs from Color Scheme. My experimental release where all sampled instruments were traditional Asian ones. All chord progressions where Far Eastern pentatonic and all song titles were inspired by Japanese stories.
Tanabata is another example for thematic Asian beats in Latte Chill discography. I believe it is quite a challenge to create a complete EP in one night. Furthermore with one set. I guess it is even more rare that the EP becomes successful. But this IS the story behind Tanabata. Read more through the link.
Featuring guest artist is never easy. But I pushed my limits with Zeitgeist Guitarist, where 5 songs out of 6 were composed together with a fellow artist. Check this EP for the full list of guitar chill collaborations.
More about Sakura beats and albums featured
Oriental chill and nature chill as genres are quite close to each other. I often like mixing them during my music production. This is why I could add a chillhop song from Moon album to this mix. This song is also available for free. Scroll below and grab it.
Now if Orange is the new Black or not, I wonder. But definitely I have an album titled as Orange and a song on the roaster of this mix for you. Fun fact: I am planning to have a Black album as well. Maybe one day.
Mixing chillhop beats with chiptune? Is it possible? I wonder. Still, check Soul Silver. My attempt in 2018 to sample Game Boy Advance notes with chill beats.
I further added little little melody song’s ReMixtery version. Available for free below. Bebop I. was released in the very same year in 2017. Space beats were added to spice Sakura Beat vibe.
With regards to more nature chill. As the Sun Sets and Clouds offer great support with acoustic beats and piano mixed together. Lastly I wish to mention few more Latte Chill songs I chose from: Chinese Restaurant, Dragonic Eve and Bebop IV.
Pagoda‘s second oriental chill single arrives with Oath of the Moon. A koto and shamisen focused Far East inspired song for free.
As mentioned already this is the second single from Pagoda EP, a sakura themed East Asian folk chill beats. Spoiler, third to come as well. No wonder I was not adding “second and final”.
Keep following for more beats.
By the way, can you guess the source of the photo? I mean it is my own one, but where was it taken? It is my photo of Asakusa, one of the most amazing areas of Tokyo. It was taken by the market right after sunset. Walking there was such an amazing thing back in 2019.
Allow me to share some old videos on this topic. Featuring a different song of course. I produced Oath of the Moon years later inspired by this walk. We travelled there with my wife. I remember even grabbing some food for dinner by a local restaurant around this area. It was a lovely experience.
Hoping to get back one day.
Thanks for reading the story behind. I hope you will enjoy Pagoda EP beats.
