13 Best Soundtracks for Chill Lo-fi Listening (Beats to Relax to)

If you’re studying, kicking back in the evening, or even prefer relaxing beats to listen to while writing or creating, these chill lo-fi tracks are perfect to put on in the background. 

What is Lo-fi Music? 

Lo-fi has become a music or production genre which deliberately embraces imperfections. Subtle atmospheric noises, hissing, and suggestions of dust on vinyl are all audible, giving lo-fi (low-fidelity, or low-quality) its recognisable aesthetic.

Lo-fi is huge this year, with streams on Youtube giving people at home a way to listen and even connect:

“I think Lofi streams are a great way to kill time, and meet people from around the world too.” – Johnny Laxton
