Lo-Fi Electronic Music Aesthetic

Outsider House

Characterised by is use of analogue production methods, using synthesisers and tape machines instead of producing it digitally. 'The resulting music is often rough-sounding and "lo-fi", in contrast to the "polished cleanliness" of other contemporary electronic music genres'.

Hessle Audio's Ben UFO first playfully coined the term "outsider house" during a Rinse FM show, in reference to the outsider art phenomenon that champions untrained, "naive" artists from beyond the art world. Before long, it was being applied to any American producers whose tracks sounded like they'd been recorded backwards on a reel-to-reel recorder using sandpaper instead of tape. (wikipedia)
Below are some artists and record labels that champion the sound and have added links to listen.

Note: Many artists now reject the term outsider house as they don't want to associate

L.I.E.S (Long Island Electrical Systems) 

LIES is a Brooklyn record label that releases music that can be categorised as 'Outsider House'. The aesthetic of the label follows the lo-fi production of the music, using risograph printing, photo copy and collage to create much of its artwork (artwork/design by More More Now). The DIY aesthetic is reminiscent of the punk movement which started as a reaction to the neat/uptight establishment of the generation before it. This theme can be seen in Outsider House which was possibly at first a subconscious  reaction from the music producers trying to find an alternative new sound to the structured and polished sounds of mainstream electronic dance music.

You might have expected [the growth of the internet] to make labels—whose role it usually is to organise the discovery, representation, manufacturing and distribution of their artists’ music—redundant in the modern era. And as a result, you might have expected music producers and their listeners alike to be reduced to an atomised population of lone computer-clickers. But curiously, labels are flourishing, and they form key nodes in a new form of DIY musical culture that is as sociable as ever.

feel like the existence of physical items is important in preserving our own attached memories to such listening experiences, yet sometimes I feel like it’s impractical in an ecological sense and is slowly growing less acceptable for the shifting musical listening trends.” Then, elegantly and poignantly echoing Zoom Lens’s sonic and visual aesthetic: “We are in constant conflict in losing the physical things that bring us a sense of connection, yet we enjoy the ease of instant gratification.” Ailanthus’s Michael confesses, “I always wonder where these files will be in decades, like what if kids go to thrift stores and rummage old external hard drives for rare internet music.”
