summertime too, for a drink and swimming pool.

Did you see that? The first sign of Winter! Whether it's finally snowing where you live, or you're simply getting ready for the holidays ahead, this song is here to soundtrack your end of the year. "Akxnyte" is the first laid-back single off our upcoming Essentials Winter 2025 compilation and it sounds like putting on a heavy coat and wandering through the snow-fallen streets. The single is a welcome collaboration between two lofi legends: Philanthrope and invention_. Two veteran producers from two different continents (North America and Europe) who both know the meaning of chill. Winter is arriving on December 04, so get ready by spinning this track as you start digging through storage for your stocking cap. You still have time.

Attention: it's officially time to switch from a hoodie to a heavy coat. The sunglasses and flip flops remain in storage and all of the autumn leaves have fallen, for it is time for fireside conversations, buckets of hot coffee, and much-needed hibernation. It is time for Essentials Winter 2025. The world may be cooling down, but if you press play, your speakers will start warming up.

Our long-running seasonal series provides end-of-the-year chill with its Winter edition, continuing the tradition we kicked off all the way back in 2016. Shout-out to the real ones who have been with us since the beginning. Say farewell to Fall’s golden glow, and welcome the cozy stillness of Winter, a season made for blankets, deep thoughts, and deeper bass lines.

Let this new compilation be your space heater: 28 instrumental tracks crafted by 37 producers from around the globe. From frostbitten lo-fi loops to jazzy slow-burns and head-nodding vibes. Everything you need to soundtrack the coldest months on this planet. Whether you're journaling by candlelight (analog vibes!), watching snow fall from the window (chill, bro), or just letting your mind wander in the quiet, these beats were made to keep you company.

So settle in and start working on those New Year's resolutions. It'll be 2026 in no time.

Winter is one step closer with "Machine Learning", the new jazzy lofi track between friends and frequent collaborators ØDYSSEE & L'Indécis. These two French artists, who are good homies with the label, recently moved to The Netherlands and we're stoked to have them in the same country as Chillhop HQ. Their vibrant instrumental is yet another reminder that while the months are about to grow colder and the nights are about to arrive earlier, you will have an entire 28 song compilation to keep you warm. Don't worry. We got you. This lively track is packed with glittering synths, guiding bass, hard-hitting drums, and enough guitar to heat your fireplace.

Rainlight Days drifts through soft memories, quiet mornings, and the gentle hush of rain against a fogged window. Lofi OldBoy and Nexus craft this album into a warm, introspective soundscape—layered with muted pianos, soft vinyl dust, gentle chords, distant field recordings, and beats that move like slow heartbeats beneath a grey, glowing sky. 🌧️✨

It’s reflective lo-fi at its most intimate: music for journaling, late-night clarity, cozy corners, or simply pausing long enough to breathe again. Every track carries calm nostalgia and a quiet sense of healing. ☕📘
