Half Blue

The full ‘Amalgam’ 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, ‘Anaphora’. Shout out to @spotify / @spotifyforartists for the editorial support on both ‘Sentries’ and ‘Anaphora’. 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... I’m fully aware that most of the streams come from people using it as background music while working, gaming, or whatever else, but it’s kind of crazy to think about how many people hear my work every day. So thank you, truly, if you are one of them. ❤️ ~~~ #lofihiphop #lofihiphopbeats

“gatherer” is out now! 5-track ep with @y.o.s.e.i_ . The first and last tracks (“farseek” and “forestwalk”), are two of my favorite beats I’ve 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 “forestwalk”. And a huge thanks to @phibstuff for the cover art. Such a beautiful piece, and I think it fits perfectly for this ep. ~~~ #lofi #lofibeats #jazzhop #chillbeats

I’ve been lucky enough to work on a few commissioned collages recently, but it’s been almost two months now since I shared any new work. Oof. 😅 Three very different looking pieces this time, but let me know which is your favorite! #collage #collageart #digitalcollage #digitalcollageart

'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_ #newmusic #beats #magic #soulfulbeats #chillhop

Congrats to @_halfblue_ & @milocero_ - ‘Take flight‘ added to @applemusic LoFi Jazz - Playlist! 👊🏻 #kandidrecords

‘Take Flight‘ by Half Blue (@_halfblue_ ) & Milocero (@milocero_ ) is a deeply relaxed lofi hip‑hop beat wrapped in warm vinyl crackle and smooth laid‑back 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 — perfect for drifting thoughts and quiet moments. With its soothing sound palette and effortless flow, ‘Take Flight‘ truly lives up to its name, inviting you to lean back and simply let go. Thanks for your trust! 🧡 Stay tuned! Kandid #kandidrecords

🌈 🌈 🌈 Which one is your favorite?

I’ve slowed down on making these collages over the last two weeks, but I’m back with another pair that I really like! Revisiting this “circular base” style. As always, I’m 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! #digitalcollage #digitalcollageart #collageart

Back again with the 2nd single from the upcoming ‘Amalgam’ EP with @kicker_records . This time joined by the mystic men known as @wizards._.ink . Kick back, rub your crystal balls, and drift away to this enchanting beat. Full EP drops on March 27th. You can pre-save it now on Spotify! Cover art by @kushu.lofi #lofihiphopbeats #wizardcore

Flowers, clouds, moons, and stars. A few of my favorite things. 🌒 Let me know your favorite slide! I’m a little partial to the 2nd slide, but I really like the colors in the first one. #digitalcollageart #albumartdesign
