Lofi Goes High Art in Ciao Ciao Marigold’s ‘satsuma’

Melodrift Team

Mike Brun’s Ciao Ciao Marigold doesn’t just play music—it curates an experience. satsuma, is a lush, imaginative journey through soundscapes as warm and inviting as the titular fruit. This isn’t your average Lofi playlist fodder; it’s a handcrafted masterpiece that proves chill beats can have depth, character, and, yes, soul.


Every track on, satsuma, is a microcosm of Brun’s world. The standout “Sumo” stomps with a confidence that’s infectious, its guitar tone both heavy and melodic, like a sumo wrestler gracefully landing a dance move. Meanwhile, “Byeonggyul” offers a shimmering contrast, its dreamy textures carrying echoes of Mid-Air Thief. CCM’s ability to seamlessly blend influences is its secret weapon, and, satsuma, is bursting with eclecticism.


What sets CCM apart is its refusal to rely on predictable tropes. Brun’s production is intricate yet effortless, his grooves thick but never overbearing. The music feels like a conversation—one you don’t want to end. The orange-themed tracklist is a cheeky nod to the project’s global inspirations, but it’s also a promise of vibrancy and sweetness delivered in spades.


The album’s streaming success and inclusion on high-profile playlists are proof of its universal appeal, but don’t let the numbers fool you—this is music made with love, not algorithms. With its debut live show at Nublu 151 around the corner, CCM’s rise feels inevitable, yet refreshingly organic.


Whether you’re a Lofi enthusiast or a casual listener, satsuma, is a reminder that music can be both deeply chill and wildly imaginative. Press play and let it transport you—you’ll come back sunnier.
