Inspired by Art Nouveau, the idea was to make a series that explores the progression and innovation within an existing art form in this case Lofi Beats. 
The Last time we witnessed a renewal within the "Lofi Jazzy Beats" style was about 10 years ago but the sound that we have today is so different that it almost feels like a new genre.
We wanted to highlight and showcase the sound of the years 2020's and celebrate how original and refreshing our current music can be. 
As time passes music constantly and rapidly evolves and no matter which decade you pick for a listen you'll have a different sound even within the same genre.
Our goal with this series was to showcase the new lofi beat trend of our decade and how it's possible to permanently evolve and innovate with music.

** Ongoing project final release is planned late April.

And we are officially back from our Summer Break! To hit the new season off, we're starting with the first single from our new series "Beats Nouveau"! Inspired by Art Nouveau, the idea was to make a series that explores the progression and innovation within an existing art form in this case Lofi Beats. 

To start off the new series we have a beautiful track by ddddeeeellllaaa!

Blue was created while remembering the night scene of Tokyo during the artist’s student life. Back then he used to play in a club called “Blue” which was a cool Jazz venue in Minami Aoyama that hosted great live events and parties in the late 90s and early 2000s. This era of the artist’s life is very nostalgic and he translated this feeling through this new track as an homage.

Bacon Lettuce & Tmrw is a jazz album that reflects Ted Taforo’s musical journey and vision. Ted Taforo, a Los Angeles based musician and composer, draws inspiration from the cycle of fourths, a harmonic principle that he learned since childhood. By applying this principle to his melodic shapes, he transforms abstract sounds into conversational expressions. The album showcases his improvisational skills, which are rooted in his study of American music or “jazz” language. He also demonstrates his ability to connect different harmonic zones, creating a rich and diverse vocabulary that adds nuance, depth, emotion, and clarity to his musical communication. The album features tracks such as Dog Dad, Cloud Feelings, and Pizza Dreams, which capture Taforo’s personality and creativity. He invited many musician friends to collaborate on this album, such as Efajemue, Zephyr Avalon, George Silva, Chino Corvalán & Telemakus. Bacon Lettuce & Tmrw is a jazz album that invites listeners to explore the sonic possibilities of harmony and melody.
