The All-New Electronic Music Discussion & Recommendation Thread

[Merzbow 2,004]

Merzbow's here to ruin the thread.

Where the hell do I start with electronic music? I listen to a lot, from Darkwave to Dungeon Synth to Breakbeat Hardcore to Power Electronics and countless subgenres inbetween.

Some current obsessions include:

That's the most Merzbow line ever posted. 

 

Here's a cracking mix from Nero which is an electronic music journey from the 70s through to the 2010s. Some excellent tracks in here. From Kraftwerk to Human League to Leftfield to Jamie xx.

I really held back from going full Merzbow..

I could have posted ear shattering, hyper, noise pop.

Just discovered this little gem. SebastiAn's remixes are pretty special, and this is a nice Beasties remix.

I absolutely love Georgia and About Work the Dancefloor is my favourite thing of anything right now.

SOPHIE is probably the most exciting electronic producer around at the moment. Her album from 2018 is absolutely phenomenal. Really enjoyed the production work she did for Let's Eat Grandma too.

SOPHIE's amazing, last years remix album is as good as anything else released and takes some nice ambient/experimental directions.

Listened to SebastiAn's latest today. It's got that kind of American "EDM" pop sound to it, but with some of the little noises and breaks that he likes to use. This is my favourite track from it:

That's Sparks, in case you couldn't quite place the voice.

Going to check out some SOPHIE now. Sounds interesting.

I will watch the film at some point, I'm just not in the mood for it just yet but Spotify just put this Uncut Gems track in my ears and it's triffic. 

Very Jarre.

Oneohtrix Point Never who scored the movie is brilliant. I’m a big fan of his release ‘Zones Without People’. 

His album ‘Garden of Delete’ is great too.

Bit of an odd one (I don't think anyone has mentioned it as yet, apologies if I have missed it) but Wes Borland of Limp Bizkit fame released an incredible electronic, mostly instrumental album a few years ago called Crystal Machete. Don't be put off by the artist, it is unlike anything he has ever done for his day job. An incredible, expansive offering.

The entire soundtrack to Under the Skin by Mica Levi is stunning (as is the film).

 

[wordsfromlee 1,651]

As is her sound track to Monos

[Devon Malcolm 8,171]

Yep, good film too.

The new Squarepusher album is peak Squarepusher. Absolutely mental. Absolutely brilliant.
