NYC-based producer Jimmy Q kicks off his journey on Kicker Records with the single Strangers. He’s joined on the track by the talented l’eupe, bringing his usual flair for top-tier collaborations, having already worked with Russ, Bun B, and Domo Genesis. Together, the two producers deliver a chill instrumental that feels like a sunny stroll, blending dreamy synths, a laid-back groove perfect for unwinding, and angelic piano notes.

Preface:

You’d think most of these songs were written in the daylight. 

But, they coalesced in the quiet, motionless hours of the night— while my family slept. While a small wooden wall clock marked the hours. While the moon shone a little brighter than usual. 

I walked. I stared at the wall. I recorded birdsong, and the rain. I discovered new lines on my face. There were broken guitar strings, moving boxes, and tiny pink ballet slippers. I made a new, unlikely friend. I missed my dog. I smelled saltwater and sea-foam. I tinkered and refined, endlessly. I remembered people who are not here anymore. I felt like I needed to do more, and less. I thanked my wife, and held my daughters. I listened to the melodic stylings of Bill Evans and Chet Baker. 

I thought about what it takes to be real.

These tracks are not grand, or clever, or perfect. They just happened. Some feeling, some remembering. Some sentimental, some silly. A melody unearthed from a pile of voice memos.  A worn sticker on a stranger’s water bottle. A film for children. They are of small things, brought into the light. They are bookmarks. They are the dog-eared pages of a weathered paperback, marking a thoughtful passage. They are flower petals pressed between pages of a heavy coloring book, the once vibrant hues nearly faded away.

How much of this will we remember, before the color fades? Before these fragile moments in time are pushed steadily outward, away, replaced, forgotten? 

If this album were a book, you need not read it in order. You can pick up from anywhere. You can leave it open on the floor. 

I made this album to remember.
But maybe, in some way, it remembers you too.

Be Brave

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.
