How a song gets made
Our songs start outside, a long way from the studio.
Run
Long runs and ultras in the Colorado mountains.
Record
A field recorder rides along to catch the sounds of the trail: wind, water, birds, footsteps.
Release
Those recordings become songs by Dreamfield, Jazzfield and Summit One, out on Fridays.
The projects
Dreamfield
Cody and Kelly, 40 years apart in age: dreamy guitar, jazzy sax and classic rock soul over modern lofi beats.
Jazzfield
Kelly's guitar and Cody's sax, with jazz up front over mellow beats.
Summit One
Cody's own project: saxophone and production from Colorado, and a second home for Dreamfield's music.
Plus five trio projects with friends: Chill West, Fika Beats, Around the Moon, Elowyn Drift and Lumen Arc. Meet the trios
Coming January 1, 2027
Lofi from the Trail. Chilled Samples starts releasing music of its own: a new song every Friday, built on sounds we record on the trail.
Field Notes
The runs behind the music: routes, photos and the sounds we brought home.
Alpine lakes
Still water, wind and birdsong above the treeline.
Summit days
Long climbs, thin air and the quiet at the top.
Long runs and ultras
Hours on foot, with the recorder catching the trail as it goes.
116 conversations with the artists of lofi.
From 2020 to 2023 we talked with producers, players and label founders about how they grew, how they work, and their best advice. Many of them have since made music with us.
