Chill Fi Life, Vol. 1

I have to take you back a few months to set the mood for this one. I was about to hop on a plane; it was the most opportune time for me to finally go through a Chillhop Music compilation and see what it was all about. It was one of the most relaxing journey I’ve ever had! I’ve been hooked and poring over the label’s catalog ever since. So here — with the first set in the “Chill Fi Life” series — is my first tip of the hat to Chillhop, their artists, as well as all the lo-fi music creators and suppliers. I thank them for providing me with a soothing soundscape for all the times I take flight…

…And I invite you to kick back, put this on, and let all tensions flow away. When that’s done, let me know how soon I should hook you up with another one of these 😉.

Additional Notes…

¹ To ensure uniformity of the “Chill Fi Life” playlist accross all the streaming platforms, I replaced Taiko’s “Leaves” with another of his gems: “Flower”. You can still listen to “Leaves” on Taiko’s SoundCloud. It’s worth the detour!

Wraith Yoshi

You know how subtracting can end up to adding a lot more? With no TV in boarding school and a close friend working at a CD store, you bet Yoshi's already huge appetite for music was bound to grow beyond bounds. From there it's felt like feeding a stomach with no limits.

Now Yoshi eats, speaks, drinks and sleeps music... If you catch one of the rare sightings of the Wraith you will notice his speech is made of lyrics, punchlines, bars, hooks and humming. And if you get to understand this unique language then who knows what type of universe you might discover beyond the music!

Yoshi is one, Wraith is all... Don't forget the Wraith
