Meet artists from this year’s lineup.
Mad Seedling
Founder, Co-Organizer & Performing Artist
The dude with the dopest jams south of the St. Lawrence, aiming to entice your sensory organs with nostalgic notes, salacious samples, and dusty drums.
He started producing in 2018, experimenting with downtempo and dub on his first two LPs, before settling into the Lofi scene with a string of singles and EPs over the last several years.
He prefers the old school side of Lofi, focusing on a heavy use of samples, looping, and boom-bap beats, as opposed to the atmospheric and ambient ‘study beats’ vibe.
To date he’s racked up almost 2 million streams. He’s had music featured on Spotify’s Lofi Beats editorial playlist, and released music through several Lofi labels like Chill Beats, Chill Moon, and Chill Ghost.
His favourite beatmakers include Tajima Hal, invention_ and Khryo. His other musical interests include Jazz & Jazz Fusion, Downtempo, Dub, and Rock.
RT3 Beats

Infusing the electric rhythms of lo-fi, boom-bap and instrumental hip-hop with the soulful echoes of jazz, RT3 Beats is an artist breaking boundaries and constructing sonic landscapes. Channeling inspiration from iconic influencers such as J Dilla, DJ Premier, Tribe Called Quest along with modern Lofi pioneers, RT3 Beats creates an immersive world of sound that invites listeners to lose themselves within its borders.
His upcoming performance at Canada Bumps, the country’s first lo-fi concert, promises to be a milestone moment, a testament to the growing influence and recognition of his craft. As a relatively new entrant to the music release scene, RT3 Beats has already begun to make waves with his emotive and distinctive sounds.
