Blue Hour - Compilation
Submission closes on Sept. 6th
Release Date: Oct. 2nd
The Blue Hour Compilation captures that easy, comfortable feeling of late afternoons turning into early evenings in autumn.
The air gets a little cooler, the light gets softer, and everything starts to slow down. It’s warm, relaxed, and quietly uplifting.
We’re looking for chilled, easy-listening lofi beats with a slightly jazzy touch. Organic drums, warm Rhodes and/or soft piano, gentle electric or acoustic guitar, subtle brass and mellow synth textures. Jazzy chords and progressions are welcome, but keep the overall feeling simple, natural, and easy to listen to.
Music that feels cozy and positive. Warm and laid-back, perfect for studying, working, or simply enjoying an easy autumn afternoon.
Please listen to the reference playlist to get a clear idea of the sound we are looking for.
