i'm a lofi producer. the struggle is real. i started out by making covers, and i have a lofi rock covers album coming out soon, but i might be abandoning lofi altogether after this project because i've gotten so drowned out by low-quality "music" that i'm almost just to the point of leaving the genre entirely.
edit: on that note, i'm really lacking inspiration and motivation to complete this project, but it's been nearly finished for several months, so if there are any similarly struggling lofi producers on here that would like to collaborate on a track on this album hit me up, it might restore some of my love for lofi production :( spacejazzofficial@gmail.com
Please share that lofi rock cover album when it’s out! Cool concepts like that still have a place if you ask me. I did a lofi cover of Prince called “I Would Die 4 Lofi” and it was a high effort banger I’m still proud of
LoFi Music brought me out of the darkness during COVID. My dreams of being like The Neptunes, Just Blaze and Kanye West were realized when I pushed by on that Novation Launchkey 49 3 years ago. I found a community on Twitch, found mentors and peers, learned, created, explored, got in touch with my emotions on another level and learned (or learning?) how to speak a new language.
I've never had a direct goal with music. My (current) moniker is a meld between an old cartoon and an NBA "bust". My LoFi is kinda HiFi in a sense but I always wanted to try for more but looks like my window is (or has closed).
So what am I going to do to see if I really have a chance? Push forward, diversify and hope that real connections can still be made in the void.
Spotify's practices are so frustrating, especially for someone like me who's trying to get his foot in the door in the world of music. Lo-Fi was a perfect entry point for someone wanting to get into music, relatively easy to learn, hard to master and make sound truly unique. Which I suppose was it's folly.I now have to wonder to myself if its even worth making Lo-Fi as a up-and-coming producer looking for growth, because of the previously mentioned "ease" of the genre, and Spotify. I don't see Lo-Fi going away anytime soon, but it Spotify saturating the market with its A.I generated slop is slashing the tires of the bandwagon for sure.

I find myself leaning towards HiFi sounding beats these days myself too. My advice has always been the same, keep making music, and never quit
YES! This is journalism.
