Steve Nguyen – “oyakake bukaeru”

Maybe the most important, genre-defining characteristic of lo-fi, study beats is that they take you elsewhere. It could be through hypnotic rhythms, lush layers and loops, a sample that entrances your mind, or any number of reasons. But it needs to take you somewhere that you currently aren’t. Steve Nguyen has this figured out. His latest effort, “oyakake bukaeru” is just another entrant in a long line of ambient, lo-fi, study beat tracks by him that accompany his contemporary visual animation. Fluttering flutes, heavenly harps and train track rhythms draw you into the journey – give it a listen and see where this one takes you. Check out Steve’s Instagram account to get a full taste of his multimedia artistry – rife with animation, music and more. You can check out “oyakake bukaeru” on our new Jammy Study Beats instrumental, too.

2ŁØT – “Tread”

Rising band 2ŁØT is forging a new sound that they’ve labeled “electronic jam music” or EJM. Their latest single, “Tread” jams the hypnotic rhythms that you’d usually hear in those more free-flowing and long-form tracks into a tight two minutes. It brings the jam to the study beats structure. Led by a magnetic trumpet line and supported with piano, flute, and an enchanting vocal line, this one’s easy on the ears. 2ŁØT’s off to a strong start in 2026 with “Tread” and other highlight releases like “Come Together” and “Favorite Star.” Give “Tread” a listen on Spotify — while you’re there, check out our new Study Beats and Instrumentals playlist. We wanna drive you through with the fuzzy glow of traffic lights, the moon, or your computer screen.
