Why Lo-Fi Music Draws Listeners In

I started listening to Lo-Fi maybe six months ago. I don’t recall how exactly I uncovered the genre, but it was on YouTube, and likely a result of me searching for soothing relaxing music. The visual aesthetics of lo fi really drew me in. Surprised it is popular to HN too!

YouTube has really taken off for Music, a lot of share our joy of particular music within the comments section, and now people live chat in channels that continuously run music “live”. Lo Fi channels do this a lot.

All that said, I got bored of Lo Fi pretty quickly. For those interested, melodic house (downtempo trance) is really good these days, for example the below were some of my favourite sets recently

Also deep house, Anjunadeep radio show is well worth a listen. It’s a shame the content because repedative, which I attribute mostly to the relatively small group of producers in the genre

Anjunadeep is a fantastic recommendation. I regularly listen to their playlists both during work and outside of it now. Very versatile

If you like Anjunadeep then I’d recommend looking into the weekly Above and Beyond Group Therapy (abgt) mixes, and also possibly Monstercat Silk Showcase, another weekly music music

YouTube really is great for music. They have a lot of stuff and live stuff. (including Praxis a band rediscovered:

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=agPnQb9CntY&feature=share

I can’t listen to the same things day after day. So a mix of classical /rock / punk / synthwave (80s sounding instrumentals).

I still listen to colega radio, which provides is a mix of structured shows by former students and random stuff.(each show is archived)

Maybe a little deeper but VSNZ has the same kind of idea. I went nuts for weeks on this Adriatique set: https://youtu.be/mIv_HcNun-w

Can't recommend Cercle enough.

My favorite Cercle video is the one at the pyramid's of Giza.

I get bored of trance wayy faster than lofi. Maybe you just need to check out a different lofi genre? There are huge variations
