I already have... you mean the KMD and Lootpack stuff?
Ah, shit.
I love KMD. They were the best. Don't think that Subroc made many lo-fi beats, though lol
btw, does anyone know where Onyx the Birthstone Kid is? I've heard he switched his name to Rodan and was in M.I.C., but that guy has a way different voice, flow, language, etc.
On topic, Breaking Atoms by Main Source is a bit lo-fi.

Anything that you can hear the crackle of dusty wax in

Second that notion. Especially when he's makin beats on a computer using Fruity Loops... not that he's still on that tip, but his sound seems to be pretty much the same.2recluse wrote:9th, lofi? where?
I would say it's more of a low bit/sample rate thing. Altho some rugged vinyl pops and tape hiss definitely contribute to the lo-fi element... as well as the level of hardware/software being used in the process.
Good question tho pt3r. I bet there are some varied opinions on the matter.

+1
Juxt is Lo-Fi
J Daniels and Dr Sp-303 are Lo-Fi (I wonder what happened to them)
I think you can find a lot of real lo-fi gems in the music section
...
For some strange reason (brain defect ?) Lo-Fi seems to trigger my fancy much quicker than the avarage profools garbage they pass on the radio
Edit: I just noticed a sec ago that Euclid is Dr SP-303
