How is this so underrated? This is amazing

Made A Whisper Out Of Me

In 2018, Chillhop Music unveiled Daydreams, a highly successful 18 song instrumental compilation. The project has seen over 200 million streams and remains one of the most well-known releases in the Chillhop catalog–a lofi classic. 

One year later, we released Daydreams 2, the 24 song compilation taking listeners back into a soothing yet faraway land of drifting away. With another 100+ million streams, it was obvious from the start that this series resonated with listeners. Perfect for its immersive style and cozy lofi beats, these two releases were instantly timeless, one our followers often reference and ask about.

Now, six years later, we are back with heavy doses of nostalgia for Daydreams 3, a 22 track project featuring some of the most acclaimed names in the instrumental beats space. Producers like SwuM, Oatmello, Idealism, Philanthrope, Ian Ewing, Arbour, Aso, Kupla, HM Surf and so many others. Even Sugi.wa, whose well known track "Almost Home" begins the first compilation, is back for more on this new release.

For the fourth and final single before the compilation drops on July 24, legendary musician and beatmaker Kupla brings the calming vibes with instrumental "Filaments". It's immersive and touching, tender and soothing. A perfect track to spin when in need of either a nightcap or a wake up call. The fluttering pianos will keep you coming back for more.

We proudly present: Timezones Nigeria, a 22-track compilation created to honor the depth and diversity of Nigeria’s instrumental music, while forging new connections between Nigerian & Chillhop-affiliated artists.

Dedicated to the people driving the sound forward, half the compilation is driven purely by a lineup of Nigeria’s brightest producers and artists, who deliver vibes upon vibes through a chill, instrumental lens. And then, 11 collaborative tracks featuring Chillhop-affiliated artists are scattered across the tracklist, bridging two musical styles in new ways while ensuring that the Nigerian sound remains dominant.

To ensure that Timezones Nigeria reflects the depth and nuance of the country’s music and visual culture, we partnered with Nigerian visual artists and illustrators to develop the project’s artwork and visual identity, and tapped a Nigerian cultural advisor to guide our decisions with care and awareness at every step. The result is a compilation that’s equal parts grounded and innovative, with afrobeats, alté and highlife instrumentals driving the sound.

This is just the beginning. With Timezones, we aim to continue highlighting pioneering instrumental scenes across the globe and creating new connections with one goal: curating boundary-pushing instrumental music that pays homage to its roots.

But for now, press play and enjoy. This is Nigeria’s moment.

Foreign Exchange

I'm not waving

I'm drowning 

Save me if you can

My time passes fast


I'm Not Waving

Existential  Pop...written 2020 during Covid Lockdowns

"I only want to be"...the wish of everyone and everything .....in this absurd universe  life is still precious... sometimes it helps to forget the questions and answers and just enjoy the ride while it lasts...

(intro sound clip is the lovely Geena Davis from David Cronenberg's The Fly)

The Chosen One 

That luncheon lady she's so Ubermensch preachy   
Always quoting Herr Friedrich Nietzsche   
Thus spake this and thus spake that 
 I'm kind of fearful of her nihilistic moan                                                                        
I'm a soon to be victim of her deinfestation
A subject not wanted in a hundred nations
Passport check, I'm a fly, a dust speck
I was born into this hostile home

I just want to roam                                                    
I only want to be                                                        
Escape this shell, the world is wide                     
All these ruminations ruining me                            
I just want to sail                                                       
Through the sand and sun                                       
Asking too many questions                                     
I don't know the answers                                          
I thought I was the chosen one                                 
The chosen one                                                           

That lady's talking to walls, she got an outsider view
She's been writing, she been reading some Celine and Camus
Debating this, disregarding that
In our unholy, existential zone

I'm an insect man buzzed on hope and glory
Fablizing, fairytaling all of these stories 
With Kafka creep and doublespeak 
It's untranslatable, my twisted tone

I just want to roam
I only want to be
Escape that swatter splat
My world is flat
Got a wordy woman chasing me
I just want to bail
Out  the window and run
Asking too many questions 
I don't know the answers
I thought I was the chosen one
The chosen one

She said Don't try                         
This is a NO FLY zone                
God is dead                                
Your life is mine, time to recall the loan 
She said Don't fly                         
This is a NO TRY zone               
God is Dead, like Nietzsche said, time to disconnect yer phone
