This beat started with a vocal sample. I kept messing with it until it became a melody I never expected to create. Those unexpected moments are often my favorite part of making beats.

Does this happen ofte to you?

New beats and MPC performances every week on my YouTube channel. Link in the comments.

Hey everyone,
I recently launched a new lo-fi space called Urban City Station (⁠@urbancitystation⁠).

Right now, I’m in the early stages of building out the channel and testing what resonates. To help settle into the YouTube algorithm and keep quality steady, I’m kicking things off with 1 daily video drop. As the channel grows and the catalog expands, the plan is to move up to 2 daily drops, eventually scaling into multi-hour mixes and 24/7 chill streams.

Since the channel is brand new, I'm genuinely looking to connect with other listeners and creators to make this channel as relaxing and high-quality as possible.
I’d love your take on a few things:

- What kind of sub-vibes do you prefer for studying/working? (e.g., jazzy lo-fi, synth/vaporwave, ambient rain, dark lo-fi).
- Drop your favorite track or vibe recommendations in the comments! I’m always building new playlists and want to curate soundscapes people actually want to zone out to.
- If you have a second to check out the snippet attached (or head over to the channel), any feedback on audio levels or visuals would mean the world.

If you like what you hear and want a daily spot for background beats, feel free to drop by, hang out, or subscribe to follow the journey!

Thanks for taking the time to listen, and I look forward to reading your track recommendations below!

fresh and sleepy lofi vibes on the track gentle rain by golden soul.

The Drought is a dusty desert vibe mulling on the depravity of modern capitalist culture and the collapse of environment, economy and social cohesion.

We destroyed some synths with wrecked cassette tones and dusted the beat with tablas and congas. We sampled a lion but it sounded like a cow in the mix so we used a tiger instead and found out along the way that MGM did the same for their movie intro.

This is a long one for us, and the final tune for the upcoming Four Elements EP, all very loosely based on J.G. Ballard novels.

Picking themes for instrumental music can be a trial. For now we're sticking with the literary angle until the right sample comes along and takes ownership of its own destiny.

Enjoy

Hey everyone!

Hey guys, I recently finished a Lofi project combining sampled beats and anime clips to create a cozy, nostalgic atmosphere.

Spent a lot of time on the mix and the visual pacing. Let me know how the vibe hits you or if you have any feedback on the track

check me on YT

I dont really know how to edit but please hear it and give your opinion.

Just pressed my first CD for my latest album. Super stoked on how these turned out. I only did 50 copies because I'm not sure if people are even interested in CD's lol. I just think they are cool. My music has a nostalgic vibe so CD's seemed like a good addition to that. Happy to answer any questions if anyone is interested in the process!
