Label Catalog

Alt Jazz Records is a collective of independent labels releasing instrumental music made by real musicians. The collective includes Sphere of Hip Hop, Beat Tree Records, and The Retune Project.

Autumn Theory Records is an independent label pushing lofi hip hop, jazzhop and a bit of lofi house. Since day one it has linked up with over 300 artists, bringing their unique sounds into a steadily growing catalog. What started as a physical only label shifted in 2020 when COVID hit. The label went digital, reaching more people and keeping the music flowing worldwide. The focus is on smooth, mellow beats for any vibe, but Autumn Theory is not just about the sound: it helps artists grow their reach and connect with listeners everywhere. The mission is simple: share music that feels just as good as it sounds, while supporting the artists who make it all happen.

Beat Tree Records is an organic beats label built on a simple idea: instrumental music made by human hands. Part of the Alt Jazz Records collective, it brings together producers who play and craft their beats rather than rely on presets and loops.

Beat's Tailors is a collective and label based in Bologna, bringing together musicians, producers, and graphic artists who share a love for Hip Hop culture and samplers. The label's signature sound chases sharp, incisive rhythms with Jazz influences, while keeping the laid-back charm and atmosphere typical of Lo-fi Hip Hop. Its roster now counts more than 60 artists from all over the world. In just a few years, Beat's Tailors has made a name for itself on the national and international beat scene, in part through live events and collaborations with names like Apollo Brown, Okvsho, and many others.

Bougie Records is a label founded by Mike Beating, the producer and curator behind a wide network of sleepy lofi playlists. The label is a home for calm, late-night instrumental music: it focuses on the gentle, drifting side of lofi beats made for winding down, falling asleep, and quiet hours. Bougie Records launched to the public in January 2025.

BOUTIQUE is a label for carefully curated instrumental music: melodic beats, chillhop and atmospheric lofi made by a roster of producers like softy, flowray, Leavv, Sátyr, Cap Kendricks and Loop Schrauber. The label takes a quality first approach to its releases, summed up by its own motto: if it's not here, it's not ready. Every track is a deliberate, finished piece rather than a quick drop. Founders: therooq and Cap Kendricks

Cali Soul Records launched in 2024 by Ol Wallace with a mission to deliver soulful jazz and chillhop music. Already working with artists like HM Surf, Erwin Do, Calvin Bennett, and many more, the label has quickly gained millions of streams and built a thriving community.

Chill Beats Records is one of the world’s premier LoFi imprints, home to a genre-defining roster and a catalogue that reaches millions of listeners across the globe. We live and breathe LoFi, curating the perfect soundtrack for study, chillout, and creative flow. From laid-back jazz-infused instrumentals to smooth bossa-inspired grooves and timeless LoFi hip-hop beats, every track is crafted to set the mood. It’s music that blends mellow rhythms and warm textures into endlessly replayable vibes, ideal for study sessions, background listening, or just relaxing into the moment. More than a label, Chill Beats Records stands at the heart of the global LoFi community, where groove, style, and simplicity come together.

Chill Ghost is a Lo-Fi & Chillhop record label based out of London, founded by two producers who decided that there needed to be a fairer and more artist-friendly record label in the space. Releasing music nowadays means trying to dodge constant pitfalls and sometimes straight-up scams. Chill Ghost aims to combat these problems by educating its followers and providing a transparent release process for artists.

Chill Owl is not really a label, but a dedicated playlist curator with its own ecosystem across streaming platforms. The whole brand revolves around curated listening experiences rather than pushing releases like a traditional label. Their main strength is themed playlists. Instead of one broad “lofi” bucket, they build separate spaces for different moods and use cases: jazzhop, sleep focused lofi, cosmic and dreamy atmospheres, gaming beats, study sessions, meditative vibes, and more. Each playlist feels like its own little world, which is useful for artists because you can target a specific aesthetic instead of submitting blindly to “general lofi.” You can immediately understand the direction just from the playlist concepts themselves: calming zen energy, sleepy nighttime ambience, spacey imagination driven moods, background music for gaming, or soft study and coffee shop vibes. Chill Owl basically covers most of the functional and lifestyle side of the lofi spectrum, without positioning itself as an ultra niche curator.

Chill Space is an independent Romanian lofi label and playlist curator built around one central idea: creating a space where listeners can slow down, relax, and mentally disconnect for a while. Even their slogan, “Relax and get into your chill space,” makes that direction immediately clear. Their curatorial identity is strongly focused on the sleepy and ambient side of lofi. This is not energetic chillhop or groove driven jazz hop. The sound they lean toward is softer, more meditative, spacious, and emotionally weightless. Tracks with warm textures, late night atmosphere, dreamy tones, or that half asleep feeling fit naturally into their world. More aggressive or drum focused beats usually do not.

Coastal Chill Records is a lofi label founded by Conor, a Southern California native and lofi producer in his own right (releasing as CMJ). Born and raised on the coast, Conor built the label around the chill, relaxing music he loves, and around fixing the things he saw working with other labels. That experience shaped a few core principles that guide how the label operates: 1. Plain English contracts, so artists fully understand what they're signing 2. Artist friendly royalty splits, because artists are the core of any label and deserve fair pay 3. Education on royalties, helping artists navigate confusing music business law and collect everything they're owed 4. Timely distribution, getting tracks out with plenty of runway to pitch editorial playlists and land placements

Common Theory Records is an instrumental hip hop label based between Ghent and Munich. Even that geography says a lot about their identity: this is a very European approach to beat culture, shaped more by jazz influences, musicianship, and underground production traditions than by the typical “coffee shop lofi” formula. The scene they operate in is much closer to the classic beat scene lineage inspired by figures like J Dilla, Madlib, and Stones Throw Records than to modern streaming focused background lofi. Their world is rooted in instrumental hip hop as an art form, not just passive listening music.

Flagship playlist blending jazzy beats and golden era sounds. Vinyl-textured aesthetic with nostalgic analog warmth.

Japanese-themed lofi label known for compilations like Shizuoka Views, Sakura Season, and Rainy Nights of Otaru.

Raw and experimental lofi with boom bap roots and melancholic textures.

A young niche lofi project called Flawsome. Even the name reflects the core philosophy: a blend of “flaw” and “awesome,” built around the idea that imperfection is what makes something beautiful. That fits naturally with the roots of lofi culture, where tape hiss, vinyl crackle, warmth, and rough textures were never treated as flaws, but as part of the charm. Their public presence is still very minimal: mainly an Instagram page and a Google Form for submissions, without a full website, Linktree, or Discord community yet. That is pretty typical for an early stage indie curator project in the lofi scene, where the first priority is building a catalog and audience before expanding the infrastructure around it.

Fortune Cookie Records is a community driven lofi label founded in 2022, built around the motto "forever inspired." Its mission is to be a haven for creative, like minded people, operating by artists for artists, fostering talent and backing forward thinking ideas. The sound leans toward upbeat, uplifting lofi instrumental beats, and the label puts real weight on storytelling, clear artist communication, fair and transparent contracts, and a genuine appreciation for its community and culture. Fortune Cookie Records is part of the ASAP Collective.

Heal Your Universe is a label for people who see lofi and ambient music not as background functionality, but as a way to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with themselves. Even the name sets the tone immediately: music as something healing, grounding, and emotionally restorative. The aesthetic is warm, meditative, and deeply focused on presence. This is not productivity driven chillhop with coffee shop energy, and not sleepy lofi made purely for falling asleep either. The atmosphere feels more introspective, like music for sitting quietly with your own thoughts instead of escaping into constant activity. Their sound leans toward organic and instrumental textures with a strong ambient influence, prioritizing emotional space and calm immersion over rhythm or groove.

Hi.mood Records brings you a roster of diverse artists, maintaining a perfect balance and variety of sounds. As an independent record label, our mission is not only to represent artists, but also to curate and host various playlists for every mood. Our playlists offer a broad-spectrum of background music to soundtrack your everyday life, as well as foreground music to get you hyped and in the zone. We offer playlists for working out, dining with friends, gaming, studying, meditating and so on.

Homework Radio is one of the old school pillars of the YouTube lofi scene. They emerged during the early wave of the genre, back when lofi was just starting to grow into a global phenomenon, and over the years became a trusted name for both listeners and artists. This is not a new niche curator trying to find its identity, but an established platform with history, reputation, and deep roots in the culture of online lofi.

Insert Tapes is a lofi label where cassette culture is not just a marketing aesthetic, but the core of the entire brand identity. Even the name says it directly: “insert tape.” They actively release music on physical cassette tapes and vinyl, selling them through their store and Bandcamp as a central part of the experience rather than as optional merch attached to streaming releases. The focus feels deeply rooted in tactile listening culture, collector mentality, and the nostalgic side of lofi, where the physical format matters almost as much as the music itself.

Kicker Records is a beat-scene label born out of friendship. British beatmaker Konteks (known for City Samba, Dusty, and producing Bittersweet Baby for blackwave.) joined forces with French collective Hip Dozer (running since 2014, the crew that broke Cookin Soul, SoulChef, FloFilz and DJ Cam). After four years of working closely together, they put a label between them, and you can hear it: Kicker sounds like a project run by people who aren't trying to reinvent the genre, they've just been living in it for years. The name doesn't reference music at all, it nods to skateboarding. A kicker is the ramp that gives you the lift for a clean trick. The metaphor reads itself: the label exists to give a push to up-and-coming beatmakers, to help them land bigger tricks. That sets the tone from the start, horizontal, friendly, supportive, not corporate. The aesthetic, in their own words, is "the cream of beatmaking". Konteks is described as a true digger, mining hip-hop with a capital H: lo-fi, boom-bap, downtempo, ambient, jazzhop. This isn't functional study-lofi made to sit in the background, it's instrumental music with real production taste, sample flips, and a jazz sensibility.

Kindbrew Records is an artist owned label focused on lofi, jazzhop, and chillhop. Even the name sets the mood right away: “kind brew” feels like a warm cup you put on in the morning or late evening to slow down and relax for a bit. Their slogan, “chill beats to be kind to,” pushes that idea even further. The whole identity revolves around music as a form of softness and self care, creating a comforting atmosphere rather than chasing hype or high energy aesthetics.

Leveza Records is built around a single, unusually clear idea: lofi as a path to inner stillness. The name comes from the Portuguese word leveza, "lightness", and that word is the whole label. Lightness in the music, lightness in what they want the listener to feel, lightness as a goal. They sit in a specific corner of the genre, lofi ambient with nature sounds. Not chillhop, not jazzy boom-bap, not study-coffee beats. Their releases are layered with rain, rivers, birds, water, wind, zen bowls, piano, guitar. The aesthetic is closer to meditation and sound healing than to the typical lofi YouTube radio. Their stated mission is direct and almost therapeutic: "emotional music that gently calms, deeply relaxes, and positively heals the soul". The audience they're speaking to is the person trying to fall asleep, the one meditating, the one needing a break from notifications, the one designing a calm study or work space. That's a sharper niche than most lofi labels touch.

Retro Jungle Records is an independent Jazz Hip Hop Record Label founded in 2017 by Félix Schmidt (aka DLJ), artist, music composer and sound designer from France. Goal is to release high quality music and compilations on the streaming platforms and on vinyl, with fair deals for our artists and creating long term relationships with them. Work with a lot of international artists from the Hip Hop / lofi hip hop scene, but also with ambient, jazz, rap or indie pop artists. Not forgetting the talented illustrators and motion designers we work with, who participate to create Retro Jungle’s universe thanks to unique artworks.

Serendipity Music is a young label founded by lst.drm, an artist with a solid reputation in the chillhop scene. This is not some curator starting from zero, it’s a beatmaker who’s already gone through the scene from the artist’s side many times over, and is now building the kind of home he’d personally want to release music with. Even the name captures the spirit of the genre perfectly. Serendipity is that happy accident of finding something you were not even looking for. That’s exactly how people listen to lofi. You put on a playlist in the background, then suddenly one track catches you off guard and you instantly check who made it. The label is built around that feeling. Giving artists the chance to become that unexpected discovery for someone, instead of disappearing into the endless noise of streaming platforms. Right now Serendipity Music is still shaping its identity, and honestly, that is part of its strength. No corporate distance, no conveyor belt demo submissions, no “send your track through this form and maybe we’ll get back to you next month.” It feels personal. Warm. Horizontal. Artists speak directly with the founder, not with some “demo intake manager.”

Settle defines itself in five words on the homepage: "a feel good music company". Not a label, not a curator, not a collective, a company built around feeling good. That framing alone tells you most of what you need to know: the project doesn't try to compete on jazz credibility, beat-scene depth, or genre experimentation, it competes on warmth and emotional payoff. The whole identity is carefully selected lofi hip hop to help you work, study, or relax. Settle stays right in the central lofi lane and owns it without apology. Mixes have names that read like exhales: Soft Lofi Mix, Chill Lofi Mix. Nothing flashy, nothing performative, the bet is on consistency and trust.

Lofi/chill imprint of French label & music agency Estrela Records (founded 2022 by Margaux and Ludovic Raymond). Estrela is an independent label collective that has released 1,500+ tracks with 700M+ streams. TAVAE is their dedicated brand for emerging lofi/chill talent. Tagline: "Chill beats · Lofi · Live performance, we make the music we love." Approach: collaborative artist development model inherited from Estrela. Strong focus on playlist growth via Meta Ads + Soundlink. TAVAE's promoted playlists outperform artists' other tracks on Spotify algorithm and boost radio exposure. So the value prop is less about prestige catalog, more about real listener acquisition through paid playlist marketing.

UK-based jazz hop music label and merch store. Started as one of the genre-defining YouTube channels for lofi jazz mixes, now a fully operational label with vinyl, CD, cassette and merch business. Tagline: "freshly roasted lofi jazz beats". Slogan reference: their YouTube reach is famous (the "favourite cafe, jazz lofi mix" featured Sphere of Hip-Hop's Evening Stroll, for example). Send tracks via Google Drive or private SoundCloud link, all material must be unreleased. Currently accepting for artist Compilation releases (so the entry route is compilation, not solo signings via the public form). What they want: Primary genres: jazzy lofi, jazz hop, jazz rap, swing hop beats. Secondary genres: anime lofi, midnight lofi, asian lofi, folk lofi, space lofi, various cultural lofi themes.

Indie lofi curator and emerging label, brand built around the concept of "calm beats in the background of a peaceful playground". Audience is the classic study/chill segment. Flagship asset is their main Spotify playlist "Lofi Beats (to study/chill to)" with ~6.5K saves plus a mirrored Apple Music playlist.

Lofi label operated by J Fletch (artist on Sphere of Hip-Hop, hence the Alt Jazz alliance connection, demos shared across labels via the common Google Form). Tagline: "Pioneering artist ownership in lofi music." Core promise: artist retains majority share of their music, label sees itself as a service layer, not as the owner of the work. Approach: runs a network of lofi playlists and pushes them with paid Facebook + Google Ads to drive real, organic-quality listeners (their wording: "100% organic results, real time data to improve advertising"). So the model is closer to "playlist growth + label services" than to traditional A&R. What they want: lo-fi, chill hop, sleepy beats, jazz hop and adjacent genres. Explicitly state any size of artist gets the same consideration ("any artist no matter how big or small receives the same consideration").

Classic Lofi and jazzhop label with a New York-inspired aesthetic.

Clear niche positioning: “lofi with roots.” This isn’t a generic chillhop label, it’s a focused and carefully curated aesthetic built around real instruments, acoustic guitars, and folk inspired lofi vibes. If your sound leans more toward polished or “plastic” lofi, this probably isn’t the right fit. The filtering already starts at the self identification stage.

Widen Island is a Lofi music blog and community, a Spotify Playlists portal with tips and tricks in lofi and Bedroom pop music production, samples, drum kits. We enjoy curating music and thrives to write articles about what we love the most. Lofi hip hop music productions and independent lofi Artists. We are also a lofi Label and we releases songs within the lofi hip-hop jazzy lofi genre primarly. Goal is to give more exposure to some amazing lofi artists.

Lofi label founded by zad, one of the more recognizable artists in the scene. The label itself is still relatively small and early in its growth, but it already carries the audience and reputation of its founder behind it. Their slogan captures the whole philosophy perfectly: “the label where every song tells a story.” The focus is not on functional background music for studying, but on emotional storytelling through sound. Every release is expected to convey a scene, a feeling, a specific atmosphere. The overall vibe is dreamy and sleepy. Their direction leans more toward late night listening, falling asleep, and emotional immersion. This is not coffee shop chillhop or groove driven jazz hop. It’s atmospheric lofi with an emphasis on mood, texture, and narrative.
