  • Year of Horse

    This year is the Year of the Horse. Enjoy it the fullest with some of my lofi and lofi hip-hop beats. This playlist consists of 20 beats from the vault: from mellow lofi beats with a warm vibe all the way to upbeat and even house beats.

    Give them a spin, and I wish you a successful new year in the year of the horse. Listen to this mix to saddle up for the horizon.

    The Year of the Horse — a year for the restless, the independent, and the travellers. This isn’t your typical “sleepy” lofi mix. This is a collection of Latte Chill tracks curated for the momentum of the journey, not just the destination.

    From the grit of the Desert Funk to the sprawling space atmosphere of Space Cowboy, these beats are designed to be the soundtrack to your movement. Whether you’re literal miles away from home or just navigating the “wild west” of your own inbox, let the analog soul and DAWless textures keep your pace steady.

    – The Vibe: Momentum, warmth, and the freedom of the open road.

    – The Tools: Sample-heavy, rhythmic, and authentically unpolished.

  • What is Lofi House?

    Ever wondered what lofi house is? As expected it has a strong connection to lofi quality, what’s more to lofi music as well (what a surprise!). But then what makes it different?

    So what exactly lofi house is?

    According to this page, lofi house (or Lo-Fi House) is a less well-known genre of lofi that can be described as listening to music played at a nightclub from the outside. Which is fairly OK for a starting point.

    If you investigate this matter a bit further, you will find that lo-fi house is a subgenre of house music. Essentially it incorporates elements of lo-fi (low-fidelity) production as linked above. In action, it means noises such as tape hiss, crackles, and background noise can be part of the songs.

    The use of vintage and analog equipment also characterizes this subgenre. So cool DJs and producers with old drum machines, synthesizers, and samplers you need to think about. Of course, that description also stands for lofi hip-hop right? Anyways, the point is, that these instruments can create a warm and nostalgic sound.

    On the other hand lo-fi house often incorporates elements of funk, disco, and soul music. It makes this genre more upbeat and danceable than the general so-called lofi beats that are more a café vibe focus music. Still, the beats are usually simple and a bit repetitive, with a focus on the use of samples and grooves.

    Summing up

    In short, lofi house is a subgenre of house music that has its elements from lofi music. To my point of view it fairly incorporates elements of vintage and analog equipment, furthermore, funk, disco, and occasionally soul music. It offers a laid-back, groovy feel with simple and repetitive beats and the use of samples.

    About Year of Tiger mix (electronic edition)

    I used up to 14 albums and EPs during the creation of the mix. I have pad beats from Aurora EP. It was followed by some chiptune beats from Soul Silver. Lo-fi house is also a recent fave genre of mine. I was experimenting with beats from Urban Lo-fi and City Lo-fi EPs as well. Respecting the past I also added a few beats from 2009 releases. It includes Y album, The Empire and Dragonic Eve as well.

    It is rare I choose songs from my electro experimental album, Raw Disco Unit. However, I felt like Year of Tiger mix is one to use this release from 2011. I also chose a song from Year 2017. Fun fact that the mix features my monthly challenge beat from February. And I am to release this mix by the start of the Lunar New Year, which is also in February.

    I had some beats from Memories of the Untold album from 2010. From Earth album as well from 2018. Lastly an upbeat cover song from Darkest Cherry EP. The final lo-fi songs for Year of Tiger mix were chosen from Sapphire and Ultra Sun. Both were released in 2021 and produced with PO-33.
