Floating through the void never felt so good. Adjust your helmet as you jet set through the cosmos with our newest compilation: Space Jazz. Featuring 29 artists across 18 tracks, this 50 minute project is sure to help you soar. 

Equal parts jazz cafe and sci-fi journey, smoked-out lounge and space station, this deep space voyage is guaranteed to bring some zero gravity chill. Trumpets and saxes dance through a haze of synths as distant planets come into view. If the Mos Eisley Cantina in Star Wars was more inspired by laid-back beats, or if the Blade Runner 2049 soundtrack had more brass.

With familiar Chillhop names like The BREED, Birocratic, Psalm Trees, No Spirit, Ian Ewing, Aviino, and dozens of others, this compilation is packed with a beautiful kind of solitude, one that makes the world feel small and precious. Like an astronaut seeing our planet out of their window for the first time or someone on Earth in need of sitting still for a moment to relax and unwind. 

Press play as you moon cruise, as you apartment search on Mars, taking a smooth detour to avoid an asteroid storm. Sit back and maintain your chill, because after all, this is the coolest part of the galaxy.

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.

Chillhop Music is proud to present the next chapter in our global series: Timezones Japan. This compilation marks Chillhop’s second Timezones installment of 2025, following the debut Nigeria edition, which celebrated Nigeria’s rich instrumental music scene.

At the core of Timezones Japan lies a subtle yet meaningful tribute to the legacy of legendary beatmaker Nujabes, who continues to inspire producers and listeners around the world, ourselves included. Sampling has driven instrumental hip hop in Japan for over two decades now, and to honor that, we invited four acclaimed Japanese composers to craft original samples, which then became the foundation for a lineup of 20 celebrated beatmakers from Japan and beyond.

To ensure Timezones Japan authentically captures the country’s instrumental hip hop culture, we collaborated with music creative and label owner Takumi Koizumi as a cultural advisor. The composers we worked with are equally integral to the project’s sound: multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Naho Kinama, guitarist and producer Yutaka Hirasaka, saxophonist and flautist Yuichiro Kato, and pianist Noriko Kose, whose piece “I Miss You” was famously sampled in Nujabes’ iconic “Reflection Eternal.”

Timezones Japan is a love letter to Japanese instrumental hip-hop, filled with countless gems waiting to be discovered. Japanese icons such as FK, DJ Mitsu The Beats, TSUTCHIE, and DJ Ryow a.k.a. Smooth Current deliver captivating beats, joined by acclaimed international artists including Freddie Joachim (J. Cole, Joey Bada$$), Mecca:83 (Tom Misch, Gallant), FloFilz (MF DOOM, Biig Piig), and The Deli, alongside Chillhop favorites Psalm Trees and Birocratic.
