You should check out Natural Sciences as well since they seem to specialize in releasing this sort of "raw" stuff:
Also liked this one on Raw Culture:
You might want to check out the releases on Blorp as well:
Release from the new compilation on Pater Noster Ltd, this guy is also putting out stuff under the moniker "Windom":
More stuff on his SC:
I've been also loving these guys - they only have 1 release out which was on Vortex Trax last year but they seem to post a lot of Detroit leaning stuff on their SC, been hoping to see more releases since this is right up my alley:

How does this stuff sound on a club system? I can only imagine it would be under-powered or really unclear compared to straight-up house/techno, so how do you mix it in without it sounding weak?

It just sounds dirty and old and opposed to super crisp modern sounding stuff.

There's two kinds of lo-fi tracks, there's the stuff that sounds gritty but still has punch and transients and then there's the stuff that's more like flat sand paper. The latter DOES sound like on a club system, which is why DJs that play that kind of stuff tend to not play a lot of "HQ music" because the difference between the two is pretty jarring. Lo-fi house has been kind of it's own scene since at least 2013 so now there's DJs that, like with any subgenre, play mostly stuff from their own little universe. And these kind of DJs tend to play mostly play small basement clubs since it's obviously music that won't drive some kind of huge rave.

Just purchased this one - a bit more on the techno tip, perhaps, but worth checking. He also has some free stuff on Bandcamp that fits the bill. This one is also tinged with acid, so I couldn't resist:
There's also stuff on The Trilogy Tapes that may be worth checking out. Rezzett has that lo-fi gritty sound, although it's not really housey.
More techy, but very nice:

Which stuff on Bandcamp? I'm having no luck finding the freebies.....
I'm actually starting to get more into the lo-fi sound myself in my productions. Still trying to figure out the right combo of plug-ins to get the sound right...

You may want to try contacting Low Tape via SC, as he uses software and plug-ins for his productions.

Yeah, I expected as much. I do quite like some of these tunes, they have that deep, mellow analogue vibe, but I don't get why they need to sound like . It does just seem to be another example of millennial fetishisation of "authenticity" as denoted through deliberate imperfections.
Oh, mixes, I thought you meant free tracks. Thanks.

I'll think about that, hate to bother someone for something like that. I have found many tutorials about it online.

Another one of my faves from Baba Stiltz. I dunno why it's so damn dope. Really isn't much going on but it just has the kind of groove I can settle right into.

More of that old dusty records stuff.

Just posting this cause Soundstream is dope. It's not lo fi, just awesome. :o
