As is tradition, we’re dropping the Jan mixtape a bit early this year. We’ve rounded up all of our favorite dance music that was submitted to the blog in 2024 and putting it on this tidy little mixtape for you. We release it early if you wanted to supplement your New Years Eve dance party with a few more tracks.

Thank you all for being amazing fans of the blog for another year running. We look forward to discovering and supporting new music with you in the new year.

It’s that time again. It’s that festive time of year! Which mean that it’s time for The New LoFi bonus Christmas mixtape! 

This year we’re going to the movies! The 2024 holiday mixtape is all about Christmas movie soundtracks. From Home Alone to Elf; Miracle On 34th Street to The Grinch; It’s A Wonderful Life to The Polar Express — there’s a soundtrack sample to all the most loved classic Christmas movies in this mixtape.

So get yourself a cup of Christmasy hot chocolate, snuggle up on the sofa in the living room, and pop this “Christmas at the Movies Mixtape” on your stereo. Maybe play a fun game of “can you guess which movie” while you’re listening, or just enjoy the holiday movie soundtrack cheer. Either way, we hope you this mixtape gets you into the Christmas spirit.

If Christmas movie soundtracks aren’t your vibe during Christmas, you should check out some of our Christmas Mixtapes from previous years: The 80’s Christmas Mixtape, A LoFi Christmas, A Whiskey Soaked Indie Rock Christmas Mixtape, A Classical Christmas Mixtape, The Christmas Mixtape 2000! or our most popular mixtape: The Big Band Christmas Mixtape.

And if Spotify is your music platform of choice, we’ve put all the Christmas Mixtapes on our Spotify channel for you to shuffle up the Christmas spirit there.

This month we’re featuring new music from Barry Can’t Swim, Sholto, The Offline, Lewis OfMan, KIDSØ, The Sorcerers, Theatre of Delays, 3030, Phree Direxion, TVLI, Arky Waters, Skallee & Wagz, A/S/L, and many more.

As you can probably tell from that list of artist, this month we’ve got a full range of genres represented — from indie, funk, soul to house, disco and ambient electronic.

Shout out to some of the new musicians being featured on the blog for the first time including (the new grammy-nominated musician and producer Tali (aka TVLI). We’ve featured his new track “Tempest” on the mix, which sees him returning to his piano roots on this fantastic ambient electronic overture.

We also want to welcome Tim Laws and DJ Toney White (aka Skallee & Wagz) onto this mixtape, with their infection disco house sound. The British dance music duo stormed onto the scene with their hit single “Office Chick” in 2017 and have been spreading the good vibes across the dancefloor ever since. We’ve featured their brand new single, “What You Try’na Do” on the mix this month for a little bit of a disco dance punch in the face (in a good way).

We’ve also got a few fantastic Afro-house tracks on the mix this month from producers like Imbuwa, 3030 and African music collective: Bantwanas. The 3030 track we feature is a Curol remix that mixes African and Brazilian sounds into the beat. Curol is one of the most prominent voices in Brazilian Afro-house and is known for her authentic sound that combines Brazilian percussion with powerful grooves. There is also a track entitled “Johera” (by an Australian producer called Arky Waters) that crafts in that tropical Afro-beat sound. “Johera” blends breakbeat electronica with swelling techno influences.

November 2024 Mixtape Playlist

Happy October y’all! This month we’re featuring new music from Sven Wunder, Baby Cool, Maverick Sabre, Photay, John Carroll Kirby, The Offline, Janko Nilovic, Dream Sitch, Nick Marks, and many more

We’ve gone full psychedelic exotica on this month’s mix ranging from the far-out soul jazz to the crunchier side of indie. I don’t know what it is about Autumn that makes me want to listen to grungy indie, soul, and jazz, but it just seems to fit. I hope you enjoy the following two hours of new music from all around the world.

But before we get into the mix, here are a couple of music videos that feature from the tape:

Baby Cool’s beautifully shot music video for “The Sea”
