Lo-fi, or lofi, refers to a recording with less than professional or flawed sound quality. “Lo-fi” is short for “low fidelity”. Lo-fi represents a subgenre of electronic music that shares qualities with downtempo music, the chillwave scene, and lo-fi hip-hop. Lo-fi music mixed elements of house, jazz, easy listening, and hiphop beats and samples with a DIY music aesthetic that emphasized the imperfect, homemade quality of analog recordings.

Hailing from Los Angeles, L.Dre is a true master of this style, but on his album LoFi Symphony for Deutsche Grammophon he rose to a completely new challenge: To combine Lo-Fi Beats with high quality recordings of classical orchestra musicians. A bold combination of two worlds and a conscious clashing with the style led to an impressive result, becoming more than just the sum of its parts.
