LoFi jazz

biography Lofi appeared on the internet in 2013, with the creation of Chillhop Music, a YouTube channel dedicated to this theme. Because it is authorial content, the video platform has become the biggest niche for listeners of this style — but it also appears on other streaming services such as Spotify. Lofi has slower beats, the presence of instruments such as bass, piano, guitar and even guitar. The rhythm has the following characteristics, “low quality” noise, from vinyl, rain, sea, crumpling paper, wind, radio tuning, inspiration from hip-hop with the construction of Beats (slowed down), presence of samples, which can be from Jazz, Bossa Nova and instrumental music. There are production techniques, such as Scratching (the technique of scratching the vinyl), Punch (when they reduce the volume of an instrument and then increase the volume again to cause an “impact”) and Looping (repetition). The songs carry a melancholic, relaxing and even nostalgic air. The playlists have several hours (there are many live radio stations) playing as background music, you don't need to create a list and select which songs you want to listen to, just click. Another important tool is interaction with other people. Lofi channels on YouTube usually offer chat during lives, where subscribers, in addition to enjoying the sound, interact with each other and create a community, trying to somehow deal with isolation. Lofi jazz music is a relaxing mix of jazz, electronic music, and hip-hop.
