Flapjaques has released a 25-minute mix entitled ‘Chicago Lofi Authority’ that is so captivating, moving you slowly through your soul. From start to finish, the album impresses with its catchy lofi-hip-hop beats and high-quality production. Flapjaques has the skill for music production as shown by each of the tracks.
The album stands out with its distinctly Chicago-style vibe. The sampling and production capture the essence of the city, adding a special touch that sets it apart from other lofi mixes. Unlike most other downtempo instrumental mixes available, “Chicago Lofi Authority” offers a more lively, energetic alternative. This takes us back to producers like Jinsang or Nujabes with their refreshing approach towards classic lo-fi sound.
Among other things, what stands out about this album are its seamless transitions between tracks. Rather than having typical fade-outs like many other lofi mixes do; “Chicago Lofi Authority” is just one mix played perfectly by an artist who knows his craft well and puts all the tracks together nicely. This consistent flow adds to the listening experience and will make you forget yourself in the melody.
Being versatile is one of those remarkable features of Flapjaques which he shows across this album. Whether you are working, chilling or simply flowing with whatever you want to do, there is something for everyone in “Chicago Lofi Authority”. Such albums hardly receive the attention they deserve on the music scene but not this particular one by Flapjaques whose talent deserves much more attention.
