This book details the growing culture of lo fi hip hop around the south of Britain.
​
culture grows and consumes us before our own eyes; be them fixed to screens or skyscrapers. in an age where connection isn't bound to locality, the like minded, across the world can now seemingly intersect, intertwine and birth entire worlds of their own.
​
lo-fi hip hop is an emerging sub genre of hip hop that's a product of exactly that. paying homage to all that is before us; analogue equipment, dusty samples and vinyl crackle are all synonymous with its sound and aesthetic. born in the depths of the internet; and bred in the belly of Soundcloud, this book specifically details how this unique community is taking its own shape in the physical.
​
A series of exclusive interviews and photographs with pioneers of the Uk based lo-fi world are kept within these pages; manifesting as the first ever documentation of lo-fi hip hop as a community and musical culture.
​
i sincerely hope this body of work sheds light on the culture that has brought my own music out of the dark
​
kind regards,
languid looms.
