ConcubinaryCode 06.27.22	Cool, I know as long as I dont call it techno I won't get too much shit. I have jammed a few of those like Prodigy and FlyLo (can't say I know the difference between EDM or IDM though or how to quantify the difference) I've also jammed stuff like Eno And Tim Hecker and I like of course I'm just not crazy about them. I will check the other recs to hopefully get a better idea of what I like.
Ryus 06.27.22	techno is a real subgenre tho and a very good one
JohnnyoftheWell 06.27.22	techno is good do not try and understand what EDM and IDM mean, this is a boring waste of energy
Drifter 06.27.22	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_n8MtHoYN4
Ryus 06.27.22	IDM is when i like it because i am intelligent and yes tessio [∞]
Drifter 06.27.22	the whole vocalcity album tho if we're being re@l but tessio is an S+ tier song that was the album that got me into electronic music too
Ryus 06.27.22	1 is a dubstep album. dubstep has a lot of great stuff and yeah that whole album is incredible, one of my favs
ConcubinaryCode 06.27.22	"do not try and understand what EDM and IDM mean, this is a boring waste of energy" Surely they're not interchangeable though? Edm=electronic dance music right? Wtf is idm? I'm really just trying to understand what I can associate sounds with for genres tbh. Like house has that general "unce unce unce" thing going on.
Drifter 06.27.22	intelligent dance music
Ryus 06.27.22	IDM is supposed to be dance music thats slightly more "experimental/complex" in its rhythms and whatnot EDM is an unhelpful umbrella term of dance music that means very little
Drifter 06.27.22	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jH2nU1spf_g
ConcubinaryCode 06.27.22	That sounds pretentious af.
Ryus 06.27.22	yeah theyre both just really unhelpful ways of categorizing music
Drifter 06.27.22	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sv2Uu7NOPng
Drifter 06.27.22	top 5 song of all time ^
Ryus 06.27.22	good call drift iconic song iconic era
ConcubinaryCode 06.27.22	That's kinda why I wanna learn the more in depth descriptors. Like I looked up the electronic section for charts here and it's just so wide you get industrial stuff, soundtracks, even some bm.
JohnnyoftheWell 06.27.22	electronic tagging on sput is megapatchy - that tag is generally most useful for artists who are mainly working out of another [rock/pop] genre but work in electronic stylings that don't fully belong to any subgenre. not useless for tagging, but defs not the one you want for referencing. look at subgenre charts
Ryus 06.27.22	rym will be more helpful, but still not great. a lot of the best stuff is singles/EPs depending on what subgenres interest you, like if you're into dubstep, jungle, house, techno etc. also DJ mixes can be a gerat find if you're into that kinda stuff.
ConcubinaryCode 06.27.22	I'll be real, I don't think I dig house that much.
JohnnyoftheWell 06.27.22	house is a big genre but imo breaks, some (good) idm and trance are all lighter on the ol' attention span. not necessarily 'better', but you may find those better entry points
ConcubinaryCode 06.27.22	Yeah, I just went through drifters recs and whistle song was pretty fun but I still got all the other ones you put up to go through. I also liked the moodymann song I jammed but I still gotta do the whole album, I couldn't find dj metatron.. I also thought of Oneohtrix point never. I like them
protokute 06.27.22	Try listening to (stuff that came into my head): The Field - From Here We Go Sublime Orbital - Orbital 2 (Brown Album) Biosphere - Microgravity Zomby - Where Were U In '92 Chicane - Behind The Sun Lone - Emerald Fantasy Tracks Caribou - Swim Leon Vynehall - Music For The Uninvited Ashra - New Age Of Earth Leftfield - Leftism Young Marco - Welcome To Paradise (compilation) AL-90 - Code-915913 Trancemaster - Neptune's Orb George Clanton - 100& Electronica but there's a TON of great stuff that isn't on the album format mostly for stuff for the dancefloor, trance, house, techno, jungle, dnb, try looking for classic mixes/setlists from the 90's and you'll find a lot of gems, and from there, dig up (if that's your kind of thing, but try surrending to it, and maybe you'll have a pretty good time)
Ryus 06.27.22	“ I couldn't find dj metatron..” yea a lot of good stuff isnt on streaming
JohnnyoftheWell 06.27.22	just skim everything everyone's rec'd here and jump on anything that catches your ear, dude. find some ballpark of electronic that suits you, dig into it, and just see what happens from there
Hyperion1001 06.27.22	drexciya is essential listen to Neptune’s Lair ASAP
ConcubinaryCode 06.27.22	There's also one album I can't remember that was talked up big here once upon a time I liked. The cover was a guy resting his hand under his chin at a piano, I think the album was called its music time or something.
YoYoMancuso 06.27.22	michael jackson - thriller
Ryus 06.27.22	thats todd terje
MO 06.27.22	dude parts II and III of the maze to nowhere are so good
Drifter 06.27.22	im by no means an expert or aficionado of house as much as i wish i was but i would suggest going through some soulful house/uk garage & 2 step stuff and finding your niche within those before moving onto the instrumental stuff. go through the long list of classic masters at work mixes and be in bliss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfOU3711ZuE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7L9KkZoNZkA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtI131EJQVw
Drifter 06.27.22	also unrelated to this^ : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02KRAshCG0w im listing incredibly basic and introductory picks but they do be incredible nonetheless
Purpl3Spartan 06.27.22	Resonance by home is the hardest 5 of a song for me when it comes to electronica
ConcubinaryCode 06.27.22	Yes! Thanks ryus. Appreciate the recs too. Yeah MO I'm slowly going through the guys discography. He reminds me of Lustmord a little but more easily digestible. I love the low but strong energy it gives off, just slowly trudging along in my ears. Fantastic stuff
protokute 06.27.22	Also, I've been compiling a lot of stuff I dig from YouTube on some playlists, if you or anyone might be interested on checking: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDZp2CxvVUGPx4NmrrCZewQ9vd8mulGSu : Dreamy, Mediterranean, Italo House https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDZp2CxvVUGN1TngFFak_iEE7cKlkPPQY : Drum&Bass, Jungle, Hardcore Breakbeat https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDZp2CxvVUGMZNaS8BQiCxYWgi5mn6R8B : Dope house stuff, groovy rollers https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDZp2CxvVUGPKwjrZcy1fKJXfJb7p5xQ5 : Trance https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDZp2CxvVUGMiuX09dLneIMaxioua5yPJ : Good House Music, a lot of classic lofi stuff from 2016~2017 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDZp2CxvVUGMSb8gjhT8FphdUDpn-Dhzb : Deep Soulful House
Ryus 06.27.22	good stuff proto will peruse the playlists and jam the stuff i havent heard
ConcubinaryCode 06.27.22	Appreciate the descriptors proto! Drexciya is cool so far so I'm definitely adding this to listen to later. Might make a follow up list for all the stuff I liked
BAT 06.27.22	get into dj rashad for some footwork
Hyperion1001 06.27.22	hell yeah make sure to check out their entire discog, it’s all classic material. there’s also drexciya adjacent material by either Stinson or Donald that all good too. definitely add The Other People Place - Lifestyles of the Laptop Cafe to your list. maybe the most accessible of the drexciya cannon.
protokute 06.27.22	Yep, forgot about DJ Rashad
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.27.22	1. dubstep, garage, ambient 2. four on the floor repetitive electronic that developed out of disco, there are many many styles and a lot of them sound very different and dont have a lot in common aside from that 4/4 kick 3. trip hop is an off-shoot/style of downtempo 4. madlib and j dilla are mostly just hip hop, clams casino has done a lot of styles including cloud rap and trap, both of which have a leg in both hip hop and electronic, but the two genres have a lot of overlap to begin with.
ConcubinaryCode 06.28.22	TIL thanks pots
naughtcturnal 06.28.22	Alex x Tokyo Rose - Akuma 3
ConcubinaryCode 06.28.22	Double Cup by dj Rashad is awesome.
WRYN 06.29.22	Skinny Puppy - VIVIsectVI Rom Di Prisco - Izometriik 2.5 Plastikman - Artifakts (BC)
