When we say summer, what do you think of? Beach, swimsuit, sand but mainly… relaxation, right? Well, for us too, that’s why we’ve compiled a Lo-Fi selection to accompany you throughout your bbq evenings and pool parties! 6 vinyl records, 100% chill guaranteed!
But what is Lo-Fi?
At the end of the 80's, the term "Lo-Fi" appeared in the U.S. to describe the underground music. Overtime, Lo-Fi evolved and is now used to describe a song composed of a beat (similar to hip-hop beat) and looped samples. Most songs are relaxing and evoke positive emotions, often nostalgia.??
Less talking, more showing!
In this summer period, what better way to enjoy the good weather than with the best of Amsterdam's Lo-Fi. The Chillhop label is back this year with a compilation of gems of the genre, Jasper, Palm Trees, Sadtoi and more! If chill is your motto this summer, and you're a fan of one of the best Lo-fi labels, you're doing the right thing by choosing this vinyl!
You couldn't go on holiday? Not to worry- "Pastel" will take you there. New protégé of the Lyon label Rétro Jungle, the young French-Polynesian bewitches everyone with his "summer vibes". From "Amazonas" to "Early Rise", Pastel makes us dive into the waves of our dream destinations and makes us taste the warmth of the sun while listening to his sweet melodies.
Summer is crazy but spring is cool. If you're the kind of person who complains about the hot summer weather, this compilation will bring you back to the "season of love"! The famous Dutch label once again treats us with its sweet melodies, which would relax even your most bitter uncle! From C Y G N to Gustav Gustav, this is definitely "THE" recipe for a rather "spring-like" summer as you like it.
Are you looking for a tropical escape for your holidays? We offer you a single ticket to Mauritius with the new Retro Jungle project. "Tropical Dreams" is a compilation of 10 lofi hip hop hits, with jazzy chill influences produced by the crème de la crème of the label’s beat makers ranging from DESH to HM Surf. Perfect to listen to with friends or even at home to relax!
Good old Lo-fi never fails! College Music Presents: Back on Track is a compilation of twenty-nine tracks from artists and producers from all over the world. The project appears to be a ray of hope after a post-pandemic period with its jazzy and euphoric beats. Tennyson, Cookin Soul, Athletic Progression, L'indécis, Conor Albert...You'll find the cream of the crop of producers and artists of the label. For your greatest pleasure. And ours too!
Never two without three! Retro Jungle joins forces with the Los Angeles label Good Society and offers us another excellent collaboration with "The Heist"! In addition to its bewitching cover, this project brings together several of the nuggets of the beat scene of our generation: The Kount, Rob Araujo, Kaelin Ellis and Louis Futon, but also a bit of nostalgia with Matt Johnson, Jamiroquai's keyboardist.
