@cylinder atmo drum and bass list lfg

It is here! Sorry for stalling, uh here we go
1LTJ Bukem
Producer 01


Uh, so by and large you'll find that this lovely twinkly spaceout downtime chillvibes/skittery beats thang is *not* an LP genre at all. You'll find it best navigated by either:

a) singles and occasional EPs, or
b) comps and DJ mixes

I much prefer snagging an occasional single and working it into an ongoing mix-n-match playlist that I tend to shuffle (would link, but it's not on Spotify and neither are a lot of the tracks in it), but if you'd rather go large on it then by all means hit up the Producer series and keep the names from the rest of the list in mind for when they crop up there
2LTJ Bukem
Demon's Theme / A Couple of Beats


anyway, this is your daddy
3Photek
T-Raenon


and this is your mom
4Artemis (UK)
Elysian Fields / Desideradi


this is my personal GOAT
5Shogun (UK)
Ulysees / Nautilus (Mouly + Lucida Mix)


and this an almost-as-good winner from the Artemis guy, recommend both (short) discogs of both projects
6Seba
Planetary Funk Alert / Camouflage


this is a huge zinger
7Source Direct
Secret Liaison/Complexities


this is a classic + of particular appeal if you dig the rougher edge of LTJ Bukem's shattering beats. Made Up Sound/The Cult also highly rec'd
8Peshay
Psychosis / Represent


this is your bread and butter
9Big Bud
Infinity + Infinity


this is a filthy LP! but is very good, incredibly consistent! his following double-album Late Night Blues is my personal go-to, but that straddles a bunch of other electronic genres whereas this is pure atmo dnb mmmmhmm
10Chameleon
Links


this is another staple
11ASC
Windchime/Offworld Tides/Stature


this stomps and beats hard but still has that ethereal magic (all the more remarkable for it?)
12Intense (UK)
Breathless / Streams of Thought


this is another template
13Junior Varsity KM
Taking Care of You (Bliss Out, Vol. 10)


this is Darla Recordscore at its purest. we're on LPs now.
14Adam F
Colours


this is not pure atmo, but it does everything you could ask of a lounge-ready dnb record
15Makoto
Human Elements


this is perfect if you want a stepping stone from atmo to liquid funk
16Dream Dolphin
Cloudy Sky, Rain and the Rainbow


this is largely ambient and downtempo, but her atmo dnb is so good you'll hardly think of it as such
17DreamWeaver (JP)
blue garden


this is atmodnb pandering to zoomergaze, and it holds up far better than that brief would have you believe
18Bop
Punk's Not Dead


this is sweet and lovely and very different and probably quite you
19Dillinja
Deadly Deep Subs / Calculus Beats


lmfao i almost forgot this! what!
20GENDEMA
sassy things


and hey look who it is
21Baraka
Nutty Bass/I'll Be There


first track is straight jungle, second is atmo goodtimes
22Nookie
Oceanic EP


aight let's see oh okay this is great, will jam the album soon
23Nookie
Beyond Blue


yep this slaps, similar league to 15 (Makoto) in that it offers a generous bridge over into liquid funk if you want to take it. not as expansive as i usually love from this style, but slick enough to make up for it. the straight house *banger* in the backend is a great surprise
24Illuvia
Earth Prism


this is way out on the gaseous, ambient arm of things and all the better for it
