May 2025 Mixtape

This month we’ve got over two hours of indie electronic music featuring new tracks from Avalon Emerson,  Σtella, Neil Frances, Young Franco, Barry Can’t Swim, Polo & Pan, Nimino, Gilligan Moss, Swimming Paul, Lindstrøm, Getdown Services, bad tuner, and so many more.

Also, check out Sholto’s selection for this month’s Jazz Underground playlist. He adds his flavor of cinematic 60s and 70s inspired jazz to the mix — and it’s fantastic.

The mixtape is also on Spotify now! If you want to listen to some of the songs on this month’s podcast (as well as tracks from other mixtapes from this year), go check out The New LoFi Mixtape on Spotify.

And just before we get into the music, here are a few videos featured on the mix this month:

Get super chill with the “Kids Go Down” video from Chinese American Bear.

The official video for Young Franco’s new track “Lose Control” is more of a visualizer… but it’s still addictive to watch.

Neil Frances teams up with dreamcastmoe for some nostalgic drip.

The new Σtella video for “Adagio” is a beautifully written little mini movie.

Jelani Blackman’s new video for “Let Me Talk To You“

Song of the summer: “I Only Smoke When I Drink” by Nimino

Flashing lights? “All I Am” by Ninajirachi

Nostalgia drip: the video for “Different Time” by Swimming Paul
