The full āAmalgamā EP is out now! Four jazzy beats, full of vintage chops and classic lofi drums. Give it a listen and let me know if you have a favorite beat.

Big thank you to @kicker_records for helping me release this one. Another big thank you to the guys at @wizards._.ink for collaborating on the last track, āAnaphoraā.
Shout out to @spotify / @spotifyforartists for the editorial support on both āSentriesā and āAnaphoraā. And another shout out to @kushu.lofi for the beautiful cover art.

And of course a final thank you to anyone who listens. I was having a moment the other day thinking about how wild it is that there are people out there listening to what I make... Iām fully aware that most of the streams come from people using it as background music while working, gaming, or whatever else, but itās kind of crazy to think about how many people hear my work every day. So thank you, truly, if you are one of them. ā¤ļø

āgathererā is out now! 5-track ep with @y.o.s.e.i_ . The first and last tracks (āfarseekā and āforestwalkā), are two of my favorite beats Iāve ever made. If you have the time, give it a spin today. Super proud of this little body of work.

Shout out to @vindig_label for releasing this one with me.
Big thanks to @spotify / @spotifyforartists for the editorial support on āforestwalkā.
And a huge thanks to @phibstuff for the cover art. Such a beautiful piece, and I think it fits perfectly for this ep.

Iāve been lucky enough to work on a few commissioned collages recently, but itās been almost two months now since I shared any new work. Oof. š
Three very different looking pieces this time, but let me know which is your favorite!

'Blessed be the Soulful' - May 8th at midnight
A group of local wizards teams up with prominent looks-maxer, father, and all-around pretty chill dude @_halfblue_ to give the world a little more of the best kind of magic: Handsome magic
This song is the kind of guy that does slight-of-hand tricks when no one asks him to. Musically, it turns out to be a pretty solid trait.
Released with the legendary @cookierecords_

āTake Flightā by Half Blue (@_halfblue_ ) & Milocero (@milocero_ ) is a deeply relaxed lofi hipāhop beat wrapped in warm vinyl crackle and smooth laidāback drums. The subtle textures and soft rhythm create a calm, floating atmosphere that instantly slows everything down.
The mood is gentle and comforting, almost meditative ā perfect for drifting thoughts and quiet moments. With its soothing sound palette and effortless flow, āTake Flightā truly lives up to its name, inviting you to lean back and simply let go.
Thanks for your trust! š§”
Stay tuned!

Iāve slowed down on making these collages over the last two weeks, but Iām back with another pair that I really like! Revisiting this ācircular baseā style.
As always, Iām curious to hear which you prefer, 1 or 2?
And if you want either for cover art (or any of my other pieces), let me know!

Flowers, clouds, moons, and stars. A few of my favorite things. š
