Support Night Clerk Radio on PatreonThe Lofi genre is often associated with mixes and 24/7 streams where listeners are exposed to an endless sequence of beats and jazz samples. However, as mentioned on our Patreon bonus episode on Lofi, we wanted to learn more about the genre by listening to albums. We’re starting with two very popular lofi artists, who regularly appear in discussions of the best artists and albums in the genre. Despite the cliché of lofi being formulaic, each of these artists brings a distinct sound to their work. It would be impossible to mistake the two. Join us and find out why.Music DiscussedNeon Impasse by City Girltransitions by jinsangRelated Links“In the Internet Age it’s Very Important to Get Lucky As Your Grind:” An Interview with City GirlAll Ages of Geek: An Interview with City GirlVickysigh on TwitterJinsang Constructs A New Humanity on "Transitions"r/MakingHipHop discussion on samplingWhoSampled listing for TransitionsLo-Fi Culture Presents: Jinsang!
