A much needed thread for experimental, obscure and really interesting electronic music

[octophone]

This is very me. I shall now go listen to everything.

Be sure to check out his work as Impulse Array as well. Space-bound techno.

 

[OutSynk]

This one's dedicated to @Eileen. Rest in peace sweetheart.

 

[OutSynk]

Also here's something a little more demonic for those of you who want something experimental, obscure and really interesting.

 

[Zu]

This is from a really fantastic new Air Texture compilation (ahem) CURATED by Rrose and Silent Servant, which I heartily recommend to all you lounge sophisticates and drug addicts

 

[octophone]

The word "curated" gives me the boak.

 

[Zu]

I’d never willingly use it (apart from just now) but I don’t mind it, except when it’s used in relation to any old spewsy tat and nonsense to make it sound more interesting. Perhaps “assembled” instead? “Constructed”?

"Compiled" used to be just fine!!

 

[Zu]

Oh yeah there is that

 

[Zu]

Maybe it sounds a bit too K-Tel for today’s youngsters. Or too RONCO

 

[octophone]

Ssshh, don't say stuff like that too loudly otherwise Stereolab will turn up...

 

[Zu]

Oh please God no. Please not THEM!

 

[OutSynk]

A TRACK from someone named DjRUM

[Zu]

This is nice

 

[OutSynk]

This is nice

That is very experimental, obscure and really interesting indeed. Kind of giving me the following teas.

There are some really good ones of these. depends on who is in charge of selection.

 

[Zu]

Lovely video as well

 

[OutSynk]

Unfortunately I haven’t been listening to anything experimental or obscure recently. What’s Burial up to these days?

 

[OutSynk]

Still FLOGGING that awful compilation I see. Still hot though.

 

[Zu]

Oh what, the Greatest Hits one? Have just popped it on Spotify and I don’t think I’ve paid much attention to ‘State Forest’ before. I certainly couldn’t hum it

 

[win_the_game]

Although I've just remembered he also produces quite exceptional vocal house under an alias if you want to hear his hands handle a 4/4 beat.

This is my favourite track of all time. So many layers and sounds - there was always something new to discover with each listen.

The entire Vocalcity EP it's included on is a microhouse masterpiece.

But it was #3 on Boomkat Hot 100 for a week. A very memorable hit (I can’t remember it).

 

[Zu]

I think it would be nice to listen to if one were a tiny bit out of it in a foresty wood at night but I’m not

 

[OutSynk]

From new dBridge album. Deliciously dark.

 

[OutSynk]

Omg this is soooo good when it gets going.

 

[OutSynk]

Love this thread

 

[win_the_game]

I keep meaning to investigate this thread futher. I'm currently on the look out for new electronic music, minimal techno and such.

 

[win_the_game]

I quite like the sound of that dBridge track as it happens.

Ooh I now realize I listened to a compilation from this series recently, vol VI namely, discovered a few GEMS. I guess I might dig into this one too then.

 

[WiDGe->]

From new dBridge album. Deliciously dark.

Dbridge Essential mix from earlier this year was amazing. The dBridge & Instra:mental FabricLive mix is possibly the best in the series. Same sort of vibe as the EM too.

 

[WiDGe->]

HOWEVER, the recent Objekt Essential mix is frankly astonishing. I cannot see it has been uploaded but I believe it is on Sounds for a short while.

Oooh thanks!

Oh here we go, this will do.

 

[OutSynk]

Oh we’re stanning Objekt? I’ve liked a couple of tracks on Cocoon Crush. Giving it another go right now.

 

[WiDGe->]

Objekt is someone who - like Call Super - I enjoy better in single form rather than album. I am a bit of an outlier in that way. Objekt #4 was fantastic. His mixes are next level though. Kern Vol 3 and this Essential Mix are absolutely on it.

 

[OutSynk]

OBSESSED

 

[WiDGe->]

Anybody listen to Khotin? Wholesome, comforting music. I absolutely put this on when I feel like life is going to shit.

 

[OutSynk]

I've been playing the shit out of this RAVEY ANTHEM. What do you think @WiDGe->

 

[OutSynk]

Have you listened to John Tejada? It's very melodic but more tech house maybe. These genres are so confusing. I just like to call everything I listen to IDM but that’s also awful.

I've abandoned micro genres, I feel like the last 10 years have been spent dissolving these.

Minimal... I feel doesn't exist any more, not like it used to, and whatever does exist from those days is so indebted to the rules, it is starved of life. HOWEVER, it isn't too hard to find things that fit the sound. The early double VA EP's on Nina Kraviz' Trip Recordings were proper minimal. Although her label is now way out there electronica.

Although @Win_the_game, you might find some joy on this playlist of mine: - it is more melodic & listenable than stark and bleepy.
