☕ pvmm.ffm.to/srp 🕒 Every other Sunday at 2pm (GMT) Welcome to episode 031 with Pueblo Vista and @lazyboyloops We skipped yet another week, however the topics got juicer. There's label(s) out there who follow the "Firefly Entertainment" business model, buying ghost producer beats and releasing them under randomly generated artist aliases. Now that's a twist. What is the future of editorial playlists on Spotify? What happened to all these curators and why has Spotify Japan acquired a user generated playlist and converted it to an editorial? Last but not least, UMG is in talks with Deezer and Tidal about a new remuneration approach (artist royalties). Can they fix the (somewhat) broken system or will it be worse? Pueblo Vista (Paul) and @lazyboyloops (Aaron) welcome you to a bi-weekly session of mild profanity, call-outs, facts, dad jokes, rumors and critique with a dash of insider info and industry pro-tips. Lofi Hip Hop and Instrumental chill at it's finest.

☕ pvmm.ffm.to/srp 🕒 Every other Sunday at 2pm (GMT) Welcome to episode 030 with Pueblo Vista (Paul) and Lazyboyloops (Aaron). The layoffs in the tech world are ongoing. Recently we saw Spotify laying off 8% of their staff. This coincided with a huge delay in editorial playlisting updates. We guess that admin procedures are more important than a few lists. Did you ever get into playlisting? Was it nichy enough to blow up on social media (aka TikTok); we explore the ins and outs of a recent resurgence... Been verified is not the same anymore and will never be, nowadays you can do it even on Twitter, historically the most difficult platform to verify anyone. Recent studies show that if instrumental beats (and music in general) is tuned in a specific frequency - 432Hz - that can have a huge impact in the quality of your life, thinking, sleeping, rest etc. We personally think it's an interesting marketing approach. Last but not least, Artificial Digging: How Google's AI Now Reveals What Producers Sampled. Hot takes on lofi twitter this week. Who's side are you on?

We analyse some of the recent wacky trends as well as dive deep into statistics and the black hole of playlists. Discovery mode you say? What's that? Am I being played?

Spotify Wrapped is an annual tradition for Spotify users and especially artists! The LOFI Wrapped world has seen some good times in the past years, however this year things seem to fluctuate a little bit; better yet, returning back to reality. Branding is a thing guys, and we give you some tips on how to present yourself online in 2023. Bing bong!

By now, we don't even know how many times we have talked about publishing, mechanical royalties, sync licensing, performance and recording rights. It never fails to amaze that the only time musicians (lofi / chill beats producers at least) do something about it AFTER there's a controversy of someone tweets about it. Then again, we've acustomed with the idea that ppl dont really read or listen anymore. If your only concern is playlist placement, this episode is not for you. Our podcast format will be changhing ever so slightly, we decided that there's no need to force ourselves to record for 120 minutes, risking sounding boring or striving out of subject. However the format is losely defined so don't really freak out. All 200 of you who listen on a regular.

It's been a solid year of wonderful content, season two is upon us. Paul's settling in to his new home, Aaron's getting his feels into the scene. Apparently we're scammers, the secret is out.

We're back from vacation and we're definitely hyped to pick up our microphones and get into "roasting mode". Remember, we only roast the ones we love, and then some. In this episode we talk about the launch of Pueblo Vista's radio app on Android and iOS, compilations released as singles, Lofi Fruits highlighting Spotify flaws and allegedly taking advantage of them, artist development, honesty and communication. Season 02 opening episode. Fast forward to one hour if you wanna see Paul getting triggered...

This one is juicy. Strap on, grab your favorite beverage and get ready to dive into the world of Lofi Girl's recent Content ID and copy strikes on YouTube, their merchandise trademark and how it will (or not) affect the LoFi Community. Updates on the cases of Artister.io and Sunday, based on the information that were released publicly on social media (predominately Twitter) the last weeks.

Still killing it on HD, still looking swanky af, still getting to know this new format / quality. We're back at it again with some hot hot tea from the playlisting / boting streams world. We talk extensively about patience and prosperity in music and life in general. Plenty of proverbs and wholesome content today. Last but not least, we critique the wisdom nuggets that some of you (artists and labels alike) are sharing online. It's one thing to know stuff and pass on the information and another thing to pretend (not) to know and come across as the village idiot. Please be truthful, respectful and thoughtful and by all means, don't pretend to be something you're not online. Doesn't suit you. Hit us up with topics you want to hear us talk about.

Big technical update, we (finally) figured out a way to have a proper IG live with great video and audio quality. High definition shit from now on ladies and gents. After our initial excitement and loss for words, we dive into common practices and general truths about the industry we live and breathe in. Also, the logo purge and how a certain label should (not) address it. No dumpster fire 🔥 to be put out on this one guys. Hit us up with topics you want to hear us talk about.

Episode number 20. That's like 40 hours of uncensored casual banter, mild profanity, loads of revelations, call outs, shout outs, tea and industry secrets and pro-tips. 40 hours of being sonically pure.

Spotify Singles has been around for as long as we can remember. That's not news. Lofi singles however... that's a whole other story. Some people were happy, some not, some angry, some never really gave a turd. Other than that, this one has been a slow episode. Not a lot to cover music wise. We talked about moving our podcast to another platform too, do you think we need a stream-deck? For those of you tuning in now, this is just a bi-weekly call between two friends that tend to banter about their musical endevours and then some. Cheerio!

Do you recall Paul's eternal struggle with audio quality and how that man went through countless Amazon orders (and returns) of cables, adapters, Instagram live restarts... Well he's back at it again, this time changing his microphone settings halfway throught the episode. A few hours later in post, he manages to "somehow" level up the levels. Oh well... We also talked about other stuff, sadly there wasn't any juicy content these past couple of weeks. This won't stop us filling out yet another 2 hours of content. We just let our personalities shine. If you stick to the end, you'll be rewarded with some edgy jokes too. Yikes!

In this episode we talk about how the circumstances of the industry, the genre and the community we're in is making artists and producers delusional. Setting unrealistic goals, assuming too much, believing that the minimum amount of effort deserves the maximum reward and earning respect simply by demanding it. The "fake artists" issue has resurfaced and even more outlets are reporting about it - one can literally do that with a 5' minute search on Spotify and maybe an hours worth of reading. Listen to us, read some articles up and make up your own mind. Along with fake artists, come fake contracts or should we say "I-wish-this-was-a-fake-contract". The Lofi Fruits business model of recoupable royalties never really went away, it only got a new set of clothes. This episode we hyped a bit more than usual, definitely several being affected and motivated by a few things that happened the past weeks. While diving into a couple of subjects, we discovered a few more and I guess we kinda did some "investigating" before we just dive into this. Sometimes it feels like a dream, to know that we have been doing this methodically every two weeks! Sure maybe we missed a week or two here and there, but it was for a good reason.

If you dont want to waste 20 minutes of your listening about custom keyboards 'keebs' and mice, skip. Finally the PV Lofi Radio app gets a facelift and platform update (will be available on Android too). The Disney lofi compilation came out so that's that. Surely not our cup of tea BUT very well done and organized. This only adds up to the whole Purge tho, or does it? Sadly my little princess had a bit of a tough day that Sunday, so you can hear her in the background. Last but not least, we talk about evergreen investments in business and how indipendant artists come more and more in the forefront.

We honestly thought that we would run out of material after 4 episodes. Guess not. The Lofi hip hop and instrumental chill beats genre (and it's community) is the gift that keeps on giving. We love covering news, updates, a little bit of drama and gossip but above all (as of late) predictions. On our first episode of 2022, we predicted the "Great Lofi Purge". Well you can call us Lofi Nostradamus-es. We also provide you with a bunch of unhealthy fitness tips; a dog & cat dad and a demon dad share. Epic Games got in bed with Bandcamp and we decided to discuss the pros and cons and make a few jokes about it. Wrapping it all up in the end, we talk about choices and how much of a (bene)factor, risk is. This is our longest episode to date, so we hope you enjoy it.

We're back baby! We have been doing this for 28 weeks straight. We hope now that we moved the show's time (2h forward) more of you might be able to join the Instagram live. In this episode (14) we chat - for a good 20 minutes - about the state of VR porn. We talk about entitlement, musical diversity and the good old days of telegram and landlines. The gentrification of hip hop flexing and the reality of royalties. We're here to share our experiences, help you learn from our mistakes, come to realizations while discussing and have our usual banter with a few good laughs. Don't choose to be offended.

Lucky 13 is here. We're stirring the pot a little bit more today by adding a secret guest into the mix. Yuri Deli aka Deli. He really stood up to the challenge, even tho he came all the out to the deep with us. After The Crackle Mag (James Wild) put out a fantastic article / interview piece about the state of beats in 2022 with Wun Yun, OSHEN and Radicule, we took that opportunity to dive into it. Is Lofi Hip Hop gentrified or not? Is there a divide in the scene and the culture. Plenty of sensitive topics that we dive into. Surely there's gonna be more discussions about it.

Episode number 12 is all about education and no tea. Well a little bit. It's quite wonderful to see how this is evolving into a conversation, I think this was our goal from the start. Anyway, enough with the pleseantries. In this episode we talk (rather extensively) about NFTs and Metallica and then YouTube music and some breakthrough ideas. Should we bring some people over? Idk, tell us.
