I love having some chill LoFi in the background, but I detest all the AI slop that's now dominating YouTube. Literally thousands of AI generated channels and no way to filter them. Some of my favorite channels that still seem to post real music are SteezyAF, bootleg boy and Jazz Hop Café. Does anyone else have any nice recs of channels posting nice LoFi compilations?

Wow, no idea how I missed this!

[–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yup, came here to say this. I have Zelda & Chill on vinyl, and it's fantastic to put on while chatting with friends. Or, anytime really.

Glad to hear the largest channel is still legit

It's not just lofi, any genre now has something like Band Name - Album of Yore (1980) with cromulent album art and then at the end of the fucking description it says it's "an imaginary band". They put the fucking year in the title, that's how imaginative it all is.

SomaFM maybe?

My favorite is probably @CityGirlMusic on youtube. https://youtube.com/@citygirlmusic

I love Blue Turtle! Also like how they started using [no AI] in the title, even though it's a sad state of affairs

[–] proceduralnightshade@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago

Axian. The old mixes from like 8 years ago especially. Emotional Tokyo has had some nice uploads too.

Cindy Lee Diamond Jubilee . An album not a radio but pretty long.

[–] anguo@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

I used to listen to trip hop (so not exactly LoFi, but very close) mixes on a channel called "Confused Bi-product of a Misinformed Culture", especially the "Beat Therapy" series.

Unfortunately it looks like the channel disappeared, I figure they moved to Patreon. You can still find re-uploads of the mixes from other people though.

To be clear, do you mean lofi as in "chillwave" or does actual lofi count?

I know they're popular, but Neutral Milk Hotel is probably my favorite. Just sounds like a cold day, in my first car, on a dirt road of a flyover state to me.

I'm open to everything. But this is unfortunately blocked in my country on copyright grounds lol

[–] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Oh shoot, that's lame!

Here's the track on Soundcloud posted by an account that looks like the record label, so hopefully that works.

[–] tamal3@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

This is probably not lofi, but this mostly instrumental cumbia album is clutch. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A-_YaGiMo5Y here's one song.

[–] Hello_there@fedia.io 1 points 10 months ago

I mean, chilledcow / lofigirl kind of started the craze. Did you try them?

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

If you don't fuck with Sarah, the illstrumentalist, you should.
