Lo-Fi Sundays 008 - ØDYSSEE

November 26, 2017

Bringing some sweet relief from the caloric heroism of the annual Thanksgiving weekend, ØDYSSEE is serving up a recovery dish of piping hot beats to help digest all of that stuffing and mashed potatoes.

Lo-Fi Sundays 007 - Lao Wai 老外

November 19, 2017

Hip-Hop is a global community, and this truth is apparent in the music and life of producer Lao Wai. The producer - whose real name is Adan Kohnhorst - was born in California, raised on classical music in the Netherlands, and currently resides in Shanghai, China where he catalogs and participates in the nation’s nascent hip-hop scene.

Lo-Fi Sundays 006 - Leavv

November 12, 2017

Hip-hop may have its roots and strongest pull here in the United States, but its influence and cultivation can be heard from nearly every corner of the planet. Hailing from Germany, with little more information than that to go on, Leavv is a producer whose music must speak for itself; a salacious blend of ambient tones and minor modalities, served up piping hot to warm your bones as we enter the frigid end of Autumn.

Lo-Fi Sundays 005 - Guru Griff

November 5, 2017

Guru Griff isn’t about making beats anymore, he’s about making music. This according to his Twitter account, where the Los Angeles-based beat maker offers other candid thoughts like, “this lofi hype got another 6 months before everyone’s over it.” Perhaps, but Sundays aren’t for hype anyway.

Lo-Fi Sundays 004 - STLNDRMS

October 29, 2017

STLNDRMS (stolen drums) is the truth. Posting daily beatmaking videos, hosting a weekly chill in Atlanta, and maintaining a prolific output on Soundcloud, STLNDRMS aka Chris Wilkes is a veritable beats brand. The dedicated Atlanta native slices some of the most rich and colorful beats on the web, hands down.

Lo-Fi Sundays 003 - Erameld

October 22, 2017

Continuing with our journey through low-fidelity time and space, we came across a particularly interesting beatsmith known as Erameld. The classic dusty breaks and melancholy, bit-crushed accentuation is all there as it should be, but this producer has a serious talent for pin-point sound design and melody choice that places him a cut above the rest.

Lo-Fi Sundays 002 - Poptartpete

October 15, 2017

Appearing in December 2015 courtesy of Radio Juicy, Palmas was the first vinyl and last musical release from Philadelphia skateboarder Jamal Smith aka Poptartpete, who put down the drum machine to focus solely on his skating career after dropping this gem. While his earlier beat tapes - Weed Money, Morning Blunt, and 8 Cavities - all ran at approximately 20 minutes, Palmas compiles all his work to date into a robust 41-minute magnum opus.

Lo-Fi Sundays 001 - saiko

October 8, 2017

Hailing from Brussels, Belgium, our first featured beatsmith Saiko delivers on both the sculpting of the lo-fi soundscape, and the richness of note choice. Always at a steady head-nod pace, the music speaks as if it is coming out of a rusted wind-up toy, with the ebb and flow of each beat rising and falling like the mechanical failures of gears and speaker boxes gone awry.
