Play video: Classic Lo-fi Playlist: Mellow Beats for Relaxing and Studying

A throwback to the era when lo-fi playlists first took over study channels, this mix is full of mellow beats, soft piano and warm, slightly worn textures. It is ideal background music for reading, writing, coding or simply switching off.

Make it work for you

  • Work in blocks. Pair the playlist with 25–50 minute focus sessions and short breaks.
  • Keep it quiet. Lo-fi is meant to sit underneath your thoughts, not on top of them.
  • Switch it up. Rotating between lo-fi, ambient and classical keeps the music from becoming distracting.
