Warm Summer Rains Compilation
A joint compilation from Through The Trees Records and Chilled Chilla RecordsWarm Summer Rains is inspired by the feeling of a quiet summer storm rolling in. Humid air, open windows, distant thunder, rain on the pavement, and that soft heaviness that settles over everything when the sky turns gray.We’re looking for sleepy, atmospheric lofi built around warmth, subtle emotion, and organic texture.Tracks should feel calm, reflective, and slightly melancholic, with a soft sense of movement. This compilation should live in the quieter end of the genre. Relaxed, intimate, and immersive, with enough rhythm to carry the listener without breaking the mood.We are especially drawn to tracks with organic instrumentation and natural rain texture. Warm keys, soft electric piano, muted piano, gentle guitars, understated bass, dusty drums, and subtle environmental details all work well here.We are not looking for acoustic or folk-hop leaning tracks on this release. Avoid bright strumming, upbeat acoustic grooves, or anything that feels too earthy, rustic, or upbeat. This compilation should feel more overcast, moody, and drenched in atmosphere.Think minor keys, soft drums, blurred textures, and the feeling of watching summer rain from inside.Tracks should feel like something a listener can leave on during a gray afternoon, evening wind-down, reading session, or quiet focus block.Reference: Warm Summer Rains Spotify PlaylistGuidelines- Rain Texture Required
