Discovery: Retro Utopia

The study beats genre has become increasingly popular in recent years, and we’ve got a banging new tune for you if you’re into that style of music!

By Jane Howkins

Ocean Moon is a track by Retro Utopia, adding new life into the lo-fi genre. It all sounds perfectly produced to my ears, drawing you in instantly. The track has the steady beat and bassline you’d normally expect from the style, but the clean guitar melodies really add something special, changing slightly as the song progresses. It’s quite minimalist, with little piano motifs also tailing off at times, leading the music to a satisfying end. This is a must listen for fans of the lo-fi/study beats genre.
