This week I took a deep dive through the production behind my latest release "Cosmic Cushion" which is a sleepy/relaxing lofi beat "to study to" ;). I dropped this track under my sleepy lofi moniker "moat" via the label Cuddly Weeks, so big shout out to them for the help with this release, and for putting together that little reel animation I included at the start of the video. I think this is a great beginners guide to get started producing relaxing lofi beats, but there are also some gems in here even if you've been producing for a while! I don't claim to be the master of lofi, I still actually consider myself very much a beginner, but I've gotten lots of great feedback on this track in particular, so I thought it could be a good one to offer some insight on what to consider when making lofi. I mentioned about a million different video ideas in this video, but let me know what you want to see from me next! Do you want to see a sound design tutorial? Should it just be a focused Serum Tutorial? Do you want both? Neither? Let me know in the comments below!

Shoot me a DM on instagram if you want some of my transition sounds I used in this video @itsmeluked
