Be Careful, the Sun is Setting... [Dark Lofi Mix]

[@DoctorTusk]

Now this is what I dragged myself out of the woods for!

[@TheOminousVoidWispers]

Bro that's where my dad jokes about finding me...

[@Nerobyrne]

@@TheOminousVoidWispers jo wtf get a new dad 😅

[@Sephaos]

Now drag yourself back

[@fotusmedic3167]

That, or abandoned places! Get a silent hill feeling but oddly relaxed

[@woadblue]

Go back in there's nothing out here, I'll meet ya there

[@klulu-kun]

Probably my favorite visual for a spooky mix. The shambled shack, the murder of crows, the blood-orange drenched sky, all through a panning old VHS camera. It hits all the right notes. You have great taste, Dated.

[@Nerobyrne]

Reminds me of this story about a kid who was scolded by a teacher for drawing a red sky because "skies are blue!" Like bruh you been outside? They can have basically any color on the rainbow ^.^ Even green, although that's kinda rare.

[@JT-iw3dp]

This is a background from the old Neo Geo fighting game "Ninja Masters". The whole game has a really cool art style!

[@klulu-kun]

Thanks for the source@@JT-iw3dp

[@ginociambotti9256]

Giving Courage the Cowardly Dog vibes!

[@LateMoonGrass]

Thanks for the insight! @@JT-iw3dp

[@lizzy6828]

the background art feels like if Texas Chainsaw Massacre was a ghibli movie

[@twofacedmgrim]

Personally, i love how the sun actually sets as the video goes on.

[@hectortheforgetful103]

I love fiction settings where as soon as night falls it becomes the apocalypse, just like in my grandpa's countryside house

[@sandakureva]

I didn't even know dark lo-fi was a genre... but I'm glad I found it this morning.

[@dw1075]

we making it out of pumpkin hill with this one

[@snesfan8935]

For those who wondering: the picture is from Neo Geo game Ninja Masters - Karasu stage.

[@samindwhich3881]

Didn't know I needed dark lofi, but this is blessing my ear drums

[@John-X]

this Dark Lofi is really just Trip-Hop. if ppl want more like this, listen to Sneaker Pimps, Portishead, Unkle, Tricky, Lamb, Groove Armada, Thievery Corporation, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Morcheeba, & probably the chief of all them, Massive Attack.

[@DNA.WARCRY]

@@John-Xlove Tricky

[@Plutonic_Blue]

Sounds like something a guy living in a post apocalyptic samurai movie would listen too while he’s suiting up to go fight some demons and bandits past midnight. Good mix man

[@XrosstheRubicon]

In an alternate universe, I'm watching this on laserdisc.

[@andreiconstantin6501]

Good Game idea 👍🏼

[@SuperCabrito14]

Sounds like background music for toonami commercials

[@cutecupcakebunnies]

I was just thinking the same thing@@SuperCabrito14

[@greasemonk4576]

This mix has strong Portishead/Yamoaka vibes.

[@Николай-ж8щ1у]

This is the same picture that I once encountered. I needed to go to the store on a moped through my small town. As soon as I left the gate, I noticed something strange: the skies turned red, and there were no clouds in them. The wind was blowing, dust was swirling under the wheels, and something like a tumbleweed was moving across the street, but there was not a single person on the street. It was as if I was in a post-apocalyptic world, alone with myself and my scooter, the speed of which allowed me to feel the pleasant wind on my face. The feeling as if something terrible was about to happen, but time stood still, giving you hope for the last pleasant sensations in this life. It was the end of August 2022.

[@manintheline5331]

if only those moments could last forever

[@n1nsen666]

This mix perfectly encapsulates the feeling of getting home before the sun sets in a multitude of video games because when you know that the sun sets, some spooky shit goes down. Awesome job!

[@Cloax]

hehe love this comment, made me think of mine as well. games, some chill beats, let the evilness commence

[@VainSick]

Me running to the Safehouse in Dying light Type beat

[@nairpankaj]

Lofi was made for dark. What a revelation.

[@KirillPleshakov]

this guy understands me

[@PeacelandLoFi]

💤 Can't sleep? Me neither. But this playlist brings a sense of peace that's almost as good as rest. 🌙

[@incognitiveincognito]

This is still one of my favorite mixes. The sequencing and song choice is perfect, not to mention the visual.

[@HonkHonkler]

First song (endless corridor) gives me old LATE NIGHT adult swim vibes when they would play the more edgy animes. NOSTALGIA. Cozy, but gloomy. Or _Requiem From The Darkness_ intro.

[@alecworley20]

This already reminds me of the One Ominous August Eve mix (which is one of my favorites).

[@vrablu9023]

this is trippy and disorienting enough to be PERFECT for spooky season. yaaassss

[@MarkAdams-bh6jq]

Found this at random...... I always get a sense of anxiety that spreads throughout my body when I'm out camping at sun-down, perhaps the atavistic fear of the dark or feeling that time continues to pass despite all my effort to stop it- it would be easier to watch the sun set, but then you live in darkness.

[@agatakowalska2980]

I would never have thought that something like dark lofi could actually work as music , but it's great 👍👍👍

[@TheOminousVoidWispers]

Ill be out lurkin at night. I get stir crazy and get the drive to go out and do things. Empty streets and liminal spaces are where Im the most comfortable. Thanks for the music!

[@manintheline5331]

I wish halloween could last forever

[@GabeMiller2SpoonsOfDoom]

"I should start heading back now. It's getting dark." *Night falls* "I can't go outside now. They're out there." "It would be suicide to go out there now."

[@brutusinthewoods9625]

hi adrian shephard

[@HonkHonkler]

Darkwood?

[@kevincarter2020]

"you don't need to worry about that, you're not going anywhere. Who do you think the hole here was dug for?"

[@Intrepid_Crusader1096]

That's some "I am Legend" type stuff. The novel, not the movie.

[@nalunoa]

This is one of my favorite Dated mixes for a while now. I love most all of them, and love hearing all the reworking of classic Dark Jams, but this one is really fresh! Sounds like a lot of completely new work. And brilliant works at that. I appreciate how much time, inspiration and work that takes! To me, it's one of your best in a minute. Darkly Hypnotic. Shadowy Spooky. Devilishly Delicious!

[@darktimeswithnicoandcy]

Everything about this could be considered a perfect homage to Samurai Champloo. (I love it immensely!) 🧿

[@Homesicktraveler]

Am I the only one who would LOVE to see this channel take on the vibes of the Magnus Archives? I love the different entities from that podcast, and seeing how specific this channel is with its subgenres, I definitely think it'd be neat! I feel like "The Eye", "The Hunt", "The Web" or "The Corruption" would match nicely, and there's alot of great voice lines that could be used from the podcast, as well!

[@fatass-bass]

Oh my god, a fellow Magnus Archives fan in the wild

[@heinrichharkonen2084]

This sounds better than I expected

[@salt7505]

What are you talking about? the sun set months ago.

[@EnrichNidari]

The air is a starmap of glowing allure. The sweater of a hug not yet discerned. The rivers are edgy, motion the paint drop to an already colorful view. Make it what you do.

[@russianaustralian6259]

This is honestly the best lofi mix I have ever discovered

[@donotavius5915]

This is AWESOME!!!! The animation hella created a spooky sort of vibe without having to just say that it's supposed to be spooky.

[@ergohash2517]

is this really lo-fi? this sounds so much more complex and intricate. i guess i got too used to those simplified monotonous 10 hours mixes that this one here sounds like some majestic electronic masterpieces.

[@Endymion766]

What a horrible night to have a curse....

[@spinynrmn7121]

Sweet! Looking forward to the new music. 🎃

[@CozyCoffeeLofi]

absolutely perfect for a cozy dark weekend!

[@7I7IVN]

Feels like a good day to stop on by and wander through the fields.

[@ild4099]

Sound a lot like trip-hop, cause of the drums and the atmosphere

[@childishstarnino7748]

This is getting me in the spirit for spooky September. It's almost here 😈

[@thepotato5019]

Wow I've never heard this genre of music, it's incredible

[@1funeral2many9]

If you want more stuff in a similar vein, the term “downtempo” can help you my friend

[@Gecko18045]

a lot of it is sampled from bohren und der club of gore and jill tracy

[@menotyou8604]

It took me awhile, but I believe you sampled War, "The World is a Ghetto" for the song, "Night War". That saxophone part is beautiful. "Wondering if I'll find happiness, better give it up now I guess". Great Job!

[@abbochan4372]

dated is the goat 🤌🏼

[@NineInchFailz]

Dude fuck yeah to this mix. And fuck yeah for the psychotic KZbin algorithm for bringing me here even though it's completely unrelated to anything else i watch lol

[@claudiaficicchia446]

6:52 is not actually creepy or anything. It just makes me think about two people running away from a place and reaching a sort of cliff, while watching the sun rising in relief. They know the darkness will be back but they are glad to see the sunlight shine

[@LazyTurtle-qv2ox]

I'm in love with the creativity in your videos. Each one is like a work of art, perfectly blending music and visuals.

[@aestheticswim3397]

isss da spooki season

[@lzrshark617]

Listening to this while I work on Ch. 5 of my horror project; thank you for the ambience tonight

[@ROTHOBONE]

this is amazing ! the title really pulls the vibe of the whole thing together and i *just* found this on my timeline.

[@CyphersBasement]

Yeah, this mix is simply phenomenal. TOO GOOD.

[@justinbailey1686]

Absolutely love these mixes bro. It's been almost exclusively what I listen to from September to November since I found your stuff. Waiting for the next album!

[@FROMTHEHEARTYT]

Just got my shipment of about 6 cassettes and my first copy of the dark door! Man do they go good together, just wanna say fantastic job with all the projects you do, may be submitting a story here soon!

[@Lux_Ferox]

I love all of your Dark Lofi mixes! They're so unique and pleasing to the ear. I can't find a sound like it anywhere else!

[@The_Prophet666]

This is like the ost for a Puppet Combo game and i love it

[@WinMugen09]

This is dope. I'm getting Samurai Champloo vibes.

[@mangomaniachen4832]

It's fits very well when reading some Japanese folklore rule horror stories! truly amazing!

[@cadaverkev]

Great mix Chris! Enjoyed myself as always.

[@autumn948]

this has the same vibe to me as the boondocks soundtrack, it's great and i didn't know there was a whole genre around this little niche of mine. love it

[@iRobotray]

The name of the playlist, the art, the music! Well done

Incredible mix and visuals, many thanks👽

[@tangerinefizz11]

I can imagine driving through the city with this playing in the car on a breezy summer night with the windows rolled down.

[@siqueirasso94]

Is it just me, or does it really gives some "Silent Hill's vibe"?

[@GabrielVilanova-n3p]

true true but that's because SH had strong trip-hop leaning soundtracks

[@GabrielVilanova-n3p]

also: strong massive attack vibes in some of the tracks

What a trip. Loved it

Darkwood 2. Screaming forest
