“This release is the result of my love for many vintage genres, including oldschool instrumental hip-hop from Nujabes and J Dilla, Soul vinyls, Japanese City pop, and more. In my view, a lot of the attitude and vibes of hits in these genres are timeless, and I tried to capture even a sliver of that with these songs. I used a lot of Soul sampling and chopping, along with analog basses to create a retro feel.”

Exciting up-and-coming producer kyoshi returns for his 4th Stereofox release (after “balcony” skyrocketed on lofi beats & debut project amassed 300K on Spotify without an editorial)

The double single sweet nights / what i wanted takes a more boom-bap turn than his previous lofi projects. 2 songs majestically blending soulful samples, jazzy keys, warm trumpets & guitars on top of classic head-nodding hip hop beats.

The Chinese, Canada-based artist has been making waves since the launch of his kyoshi moniker in 2021, amassing 10M streams, 50+ editorials (incl. Spotify’s lofi beats, lush lofi & Apple’s LoFi Chill, Peaceful Focus) & independent adds (Hip Dozer, LifeAt, Dreamhop). He was also part of Sleep Tales’ acclaimed Rainy Nights compilation.

[ Artist Bio ]
A music producer based in Vancouver, Canada, kyoshi’s influences vary between lo-fi hip-hop, electronica, and all the way to game scores and orchestral pieces.
