'Voyagers' is the new single by the two Dutch musicians and producers DESH & delaney.. It was carefully recorded and mixed in delaney.'s home studio in Amsterdam where the two artists frequently work together.

Danish producer Shatter Hands brought us this head nodding banger of a track. Written as an ode to his crew "Berlin Zoo”, as well as a nod and homage to the legendary radio show C.M Famalam. The composition is a throwback to boombap but with modernized synths and sequencer work. Not to mention the underlining heavy bass supporting the entire song as a rock solid foundation. The song will take you...

Hailing from Tokyo Japan, yanaco is an adventurous beatmaker and producer dropping his first EP to-day. His approach to lofi beats is much more old school and underground as of what we're used to in this day and age. Using textures and rhythms at his advantage he provides a free range of cinematic and ambient heavy songs of various genres and all blending perfectly together. With the common theme...

Here's a heartwarming and nostalgic song by the Californian producer Joe Nora. The particularity of the song and also very proper to Joe's style is the upbeat over chill-ambient melodies, which in contrast provokes happiness and melancholy at the same time and gives a feeling of bitter-sweetness. Perfect for the season's end. “Can’t Wait” is an upbeat and energetic jazzy beat with some Summer-y no...

Urban Waves has the pleasure to present "Special Blend" by Max I Million featuring John Culbreth. Lately Max is a lot into composing and making Jazz music.

After the success of the debut song Meadow Rain from the Italian duo "Unwind Project" we are following up with a beautiful and relaxing piano version. Written and performed by half of the project Paolo Fornasier (aka Pauliverse). The song will put you in a state of relaxation and give you a breath of fresh air. Music by @pauliversemusic & @londonfireplaces

“Fluttr” is a magical portal to a relaxing and feel-good state of mind. Plucked guitar and harp set the harmonic bed on which nonchalant wind instruments briefly take their rest. Accompanied by a gentle yet punchy drum kit, other sonic guests such as strings and synth pads make brief appearances to round out this chilled soundscape. Invention_ hopes the music relaxes the listener and sets them at...

Today we bring you an heartwarming tune by dutch producer Haines. “Newborn” is the first song Haines created after arriving back in the Netherlands from Australia.

This track was created the morning after his sister in law gave birth to a beautiful daughter, which is where the track name com...

As we kick off 2022, we're excited to drop this single by aprovoli, NUMERO13 and zodivk. “555” represents what it means to collaborate with people who might speak a different language than you, and is a testament to the power of music as a method of communication. It is also a middle ground for 3 producers that have very different styles and music backgrounds. Ending up into a superb track combini...

“Way Back” is a new jazzy track by Odyssee and Louk from Soul Food Horns. The duo sent stems and loops back and forth, beginning with drums and chill guitar riffs, then building with layers of horns, flutes and saxophones. At the end, the track is a story told via instruments communicating with one another. While listening, imagine a nice afternoon after work, just taking your time to appreciate t...

“Offworld” is the new EP from Portland-based DJ, producer, radio host and beat scene Guru Saltfeend. The project was created over an extended period of time, and the resulting music (created in various studio experiences all very different from one another) reflects that. For instance, Deer Creek was produced after a camping experience deep in the Washington State woods. After a night hike where h...

Flitz&Suppe and Mr. Käfer unite on this crispy new instrumental “Syzygy”. The two producers created this soothing jam in March 2021, while the weather was awful and the pandemic was raging. Originally meant for a rapper, the tune morphed over time and ended up as this soft, low tempo track full of cloudy pads, strings and horns, all drenched in lush reverb and subtle hints of ping pong delay, evok...

Mellow and psychedelic vibes unite on "Solarize", the new single from producers Buli and Vooo. Honing in on a sound that's both recognizable and fresh, the two producers have crafted a track that proves that sometimes less is more. Through a mix of vibrant synths, ice cold drums and subtle melodies, this track goes down smooth. Music by https://soundcloud.com/bulifromspace & https://soundcloud.com...

“Lemons”, the new track by midnight alpha. and Nothingtosay, represents a lesson in simplicity. Originally the two producers went wild, adding guitars, saxophone and various melodies throughout. However, they found the track most effective when stripped back to just the basics, allowing a spotlight to focus on the main synths and piano, then using the added melodic instruments sparsely to accentua...

“Full Tano” was taken from Saltfeend’s forthcoming EP “Offworld”, releasing December 14th.

Catch you in a couple weeks with the full release and for the time being enjoy this preview! Music by https://soundcloud.com/saltfeend Artwork by marcaureleotto

Today we're very proud to bring you the new single by Devaloop! "Subside" displays a very important part in Devaloop's process of making music. It happens far to many times that the pure essence of creativity and expression gets lost because of several reasons (distractions, trying to fit a certain sound for example). For "Subside" Devaloop tried to focus on what's emerging from the inside as much...

Today we are proud to present the latest song by Mahealane & PRNDL an upcoming LA duo that will sure take your by surprise as they always bring positive and cheerful vibes forward.

The title was inspired by the Herbie Hancoc...

'Meadow Rain' is a collaboration between two artists living in Italy, and the creation of this track gave birth to their new production duo, 'Unwind Project' . The resulting sound is a perfect combination of two different worlds and skillsets.

Pioneer of the Lofi hip hop new wave, Japanese beatmaker Lidly brought us a fresh new track today. Titled "Hakanaki" which translates as Ephemeral in a poetic way. The song is about a short lived and fragile existence. With an abstract hip hop vibe and typical Japanese lofi style. Lidly delivers as usual a unique piece of music and brings us back to a different era for a short moment. This song wi...
