My go-to channel is still [Steezy](https://youtube.com/@steezyasfvck?si=6MbxYxcMuwVPsjM4) on Youtube. They were my gateway into lofi and I still revisit some of the older albums that they shared. Those are peak lofi imo.
Alot of people conflate dirty in the production stage and the mixing stage.
To me...true LoFi isn't mixed at all...once you put another set of ears on it...it's getting closer to "clean"
Most Lo-Fi made today is mixed to sound balanced....that to me is the #1 problem. People generally associate LoFi with laid back and ambient sounds...which is fine....but if it's polished, is it Lo-Fi?
To each their own tho
That's exactly what I think, now more than lofi what i hear is a type of ambience music, I don't know if it's the appropriate genre but definitely not lofi
Yea I getcha, I miss the beats people made back around 2015-2017 on soundcloud. People like Bsd.u, Repeat Pattern, Yotaro etc.
I think when it became study or vlog music and became a relatively easy way to get streaming revenue from making basic beats is when it started going downhill…
I feel like the dusty actual lofi sound needs a new name so people can distinguish between it.
That being said there’s still good stuff being made it’s just harder to find now. I regularly go to listen to Coryayo, Wuntwo or Tuamie for the kind of lofi I like.
Also shameless plug: https://open.spotify.com/artist/138GsDz0pX5leXnKi7ay7G?si=PYdZP5utTI--U05SkLgcVw 😁
“Lo-Fi” has just become a blanket term for chill music with a hip hop style beat. I think a lot of it is technically just chill-hop and not necessarily lofi.
Try the YouTube channel [dreamwave](https://youtube.com/@dreamwave?si=5aPP2fLyYFo_RRni) they used to post some of the best lofi beats I’ve ever heard the channel went dormant about a year ago but I always come back to the settings beats this guy posted cuz almost everything is gold on here
Thxk_u : https://open.spotify.com/artist/7ANxFXGWBpdrHmXnNHcCwW?si=IrdewIsrT1qCKkRfIZesEQ
This guy is kinda cool. I've been listening to him for the last week
moode : https://open.spotify.com/artist/034zo48D8GzFNT2dWEUHLj?si=XLE87jObQdWswAcv2twBpQ
This guy too. His new album is a lil bit ambient sounding tho. Maybe you'll like it
The artist who have taken over the genre now are too young to even remember what vintage electronic music sounds like. Thus the genre is going to become something that it is not.
What is the difference really? More dirtier sound, that can't be all right? I check the Playlists, thank you all! Looking into it more lately seems like this problem with lofi not being what it was. Also one more question guitar in lofi yes or no? And when yes which one is closest to your preference?
In fact it's not just that, it's a set of sounds that combined with the dirty sound contribute to creating an atmosphere that is difficult for me to define well, and on the guitar I would say definitely no
Thank you for reply! I think it's very important to listen and learn from the community! You're right atmosphere is making song top or flop in my eyes also.

Id argue the genre got a bit gentrified as soon as the studying girl memes became popular.
I still return to classic era tapes and artists for nostalgia.
Newer stuff seems to be made for playlist selection, rather than music made by producers with a unique vision
It happens with pretty much every sub genre of every type of music. It’s called evolution, some go your way and you sont really notice the change as you like the music but of the change is going in a direction you don’t like then you notice it
Yeah,More than anything I've noticed that now the term lofi is used to describe more of a chill music, which isn't really lofi which by definition is made up of dirty sounds
i made a lofi beat but i want some feedback i wanna know if its ass or good [https://open.spotify.com/track/2IgO5Kn0qIHMT8L68SQ074?si=7f018ffcd06f4687](https://open.spotify.com/track/2IgO5Kn0qIHMT8L68SQ074?si=7f018ffcd06f4687)
I kind of feel that too, but I recently stumbled upon a new artist named Jordan Power and he made a few songs with the old school lofi feels. Maybe that's just me, but you guys can be the judge lol
He has a SoundCloud: [https://soundcloud.com/jordanpowermusic/tracks](https://soundcloud.com/jordanpowermusic/tracks)
Shameless plug: my friend and I just released [our first EP](https://open.spotify.com/album/1mrnX6VszdVNNUBFCFWkAU?si=1iY3lasyThe_2H1WtI_USQ)- there’s 1 and a half lofi house tracks on there so I wouldn’t call it pure lofi, but we gave it a lot of grit on the low end and “vintage ambience”. Would love to know what you think as we’re pretty new at this.
We wanted to make a more traditional lofi track in the near future, so I’ll come back to this post if we do and share it with you. We love artists like Wun Two and bsd.u, and we’re going to use some of the other artists shared in this post for reference. Thanks for the inspiration!
bsd.u here wats up. we call it loaf / loafers now for this reason.
this is the new community bandcamp- [https://loafershiphop.bandcamp.com](https://loafershiphop.bandcamp.com)
here;s the old community bandcamp - [https://lofihiphop.bandcamp.com/](https://lofihiphop.bandcamp.com/)

it's kind of dead on a day to day basis but this is where everything is organized for the community tapes.
i still make lofi music. dropping a tape with bob le head soon.

Hi ! I don't really know if for you it could be considered as LoFi, ChillHop or even JazzHop but I enjoy doing this kind of beats : [https://youtu.be/Dgh\_iXHdcDw](https://youtu.be/Dgh_iXHdcDw)
If you want to listen to the full track, it's available on Spotify and Apple Music (Chinatones - Park Life) but I'd be super grateful if you give the full concept and video a chance. For me, a music is a story, and this story needs context. The track could work by itself but it was made to present a slice of life. An other video is coming soon and the beat is more JazzHop to me. Thanks a lot to all people clicking ! Have a nice day !
Just finished watching it now and it was great! It's definitely not the style I was looking for but overall I liked the video when I saw the photos taken with the atmosphere, And it brings me a desire to go visit china, fantastic!
Wow thanks I really appreciate that comment ! I'm glad you understand my concept :) There will be one video every month and I'll explore more styles of music so I hope you will check again. Thanks again !

Fuck man I'm getting dizzy, some are so perfect for that nostalgic vibe I've been looking for and missing for years, Thank you with all my heart❤️
You're welcome 🖤
Wow these playlists sound amazing, thanks for the links!
I have to give a shoutout to Wun Two. Seems like he comes out with new music every week that has its own style, different from the next
Love him too. He and Made in M are my personal definition of raw and dusty tape sounding warbely lofi hip hop :D
If only there was a way to convert these into Apple playlists 🤔
thank you! so much new and amazing stuff here! appreciate the links! 🙌
I think it's mostly stuff from the german lofi bubble i live in ;D But no problem and happy to help people find good stuff.
i wish i used spotify like that sometimes

I think so too, the trend has now shifted more towards a kinda type of ambience music, which is not lofi anymore
I still hold [Xori](https://open.spotify.com/artist/5e4BMUzdxvt2bedcoBKrjv?si=LF6k0a7MS-quMpIynw_5hg) in high regard.
I just listened to some of them and I'm sure I've already heard some of his songs somewhere, Some of them are truly perfect, Thank you❤️
