almost exclusively electronic music, just can’t seem to get enough of it. (ambient, downtempo, drum & bass, dub, electro, glitch, goa trance, house, idm, psybass, psychill, psytrance, synthwave, techno). I’d be happy to try to give recommendations of any of these if you ask.
also love funk like Parliament/Funkadelic and some electronic focused jambands like STS9 & Lotus
What are some of your ambient recommendations? I was just listening to Tim Hecker’s Konoyo, also dig stuff like Global Communication, Boards of Canada, Grouper, Human Mesh Dance, Stars of the Lid, Biosphere.
Really into a electronic psychedelic cumbia genre that goes by Psicodelica Selvática (and other names) : Dengue Dengue Dengue!, Chancha Via Circuito, Yeahman, Son Rompe Pera, El Remolón’s Selva really hits the spot too.
I prefer my ambient to have a psychedelic aspect to it instead of just pure drone, so probably my favorite ambient artist is Ishq, namely his albums Orchid, Sama, And Awake, Bloom, and Lotus. Sinepearl and Chandanam are also artists that have a similar sound to Ishq. also check out Woob’s Repurpose album
getting into more of the psybient/psychill genre than pure ambient, mostly everything on Ultimae Records is gold imo (Solar Fields, Carbon Based Lifeforms, Cell, H.U.V.A. Network, Sync24, etc.)
Spacebass over on my end : G Jones, EPROM, Alix Perez, Ivy Lab, Of The Trees, Chee, Tsuruda, ISOxo, Culprate, Lab Group
This song has been on solid repeat for me lately GATZB - Get Down

Pardon my ignorance. What is S-tier bands?
I meant S-tier as in ranking. If you look at tier lists on the internet, they will often rank things using letters. I was basically just saying that I consider them to be bands of the highest tier, I’ve attached a link to show you what I mean.
Deep House. It’s basically distraction free version of House.
anything you recommend? looking for more artists like those on Naked Music Recordings (Blue Six, Miguel Migs, Lisa Shaw, Aya, etc.)

I’d say I used to listen to metal, but nowadays, I still listen to metal lol. Huge fan of Progressive Metal/Djent/Thall bands. Not much into Deathcore/Doom Metal lately however.
At work tho, I tend to listen to a lot of instrumental stuff and genres vary greatly: mathrock, jazz, electronic, game/movie OSTs, blues, fusion, and among others.
During drives, mainly depends on the mood, but mostly revolves around the above given genres.
To name a few artists, I usually listen to the below (in random order):
- Jakub Zytecki
- Chon
- Plini
- Periphery
- Necrophagist (when r u guys coming back 😔)
- Dirty Loops
- Up Dharma Down
- Joji
- Tycho
- Sleep Token
- Lorna Shore
- Tom Misch
Would love to share some more, but these are what I thought of at the moment.
Woah, I’ve actually been to a Chon show. Totally didn’t expect to see that band pop up in this thread
Lucky! How were they upfront? I’ve only seen their live shows on YouTube.
They were great. I think it was around 2015-2016, and I still have a Chon pin from the show too!
My favorite music styles are synthpop, vaporwave and spacesynth.
I listen to Rock, Punk Rock, Pop Punk, Ska, EDM, and K-Pop.
Some of my favorite bands are Thrice, Streetlight Manifesto, Alkaline Trio, Band-Maid, Dreamcatcher. I dunno man, I just like music.
YESSSS. FINALLY someone else on here who loves Streetlight! Tomas and the rest of the band are pure musical geniuses.
Have you listened to Tomas’ acoustic Streetlight albums The Hand That Thieves and Streetlight Lullabies? They’re amazing.
Yes! I absolutely love the Toh Kay albums. I’ve listened to his entire discography, including Smiles for Macavity and the demos. I haven’t heard a single thing that I dislike from him!
I love most electronic music with my favourite subgenre being electro. Although dubstep and a trance are also up there rn
got any electro recommendations? I love MetaComplex, Morphology, Microlith, Plant43, E.R.P., Shinra, Reedale Rise, etc.
Glad to see an EDM fan on here
But I’m going to do a shitty job recommending music, since you listed the artists who do like dnb electro… Which is an area that I’m almost totally clueless. But to take a shot in the dark, UNMD. It’s frenchcore techno so it’s a bit different. Maybe look at psy techno since it has the same kind of beat whilst keeping some the melodic parts of electro.
Sorry that was awful. But alot of the artists I listen to have really fat melodies which is like the exact opposite of what your looking for. Although I do like some of the artists you listed, so I’m gonna mix those into my playlists. So thanks I guess
Edit: I looked through your post history, defo look into psy techno.
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
I had no idea. Thanks for sharing. Wilo you provide the link?
