kit,

in an effort to expand my music library and also share cool stuff, fedi, I beseech thee... lend me your ears (and boosts)

if you listen to, make, or have a friend who makes electronic music that fits any of these descriptions:

  • sounds like the early 2000s, especially if it's some kind of dnb, jungle, or ambient
  • nostalgic futurism that isn't dnb or ambient (and especially not synthwave!)
  • sounds like racing game music from back when it was too good
  • vaporwave but original (as in, not sample based) and not synthwave
  • weird and wacky experimental electronica that can work in the background
  • bass heavy but low intensity music that tickles the brain
  • just really pretty and interesting ambient or drone stuff in general

please drop names and links here. by all means, plug yourself and your friends if you want to

bandcamp, mirlo, faircamp, and similar links are preferable, but any link will do if those aren't available. extra bonus points if creative commons or similar

I think these styles of music are amazing and rather underrated, especially since a lot of the people who like these styles are just playing random youtube mixes in the background, so they have no idea what they're actually listening to or who to support

I also find this kind of music annoyingly hard to discover, which isn't helped by those mixes either, because most of them are either drawing from the same small handful of artists, or just playing video game soundtracks

I want to change that, even if only a little bit. for that reason, please boost

aside from just hoping to spread this post around, I'd love to write about what I hear on my website eventually too, play it during livestreams with the titles on screen, and of course share it with all my non-fedi friends

@kit @electronicmusic I've been working on a track (which may or may not see the light of day) that's been taking cues from these, which I think fit the description:
Techicolor - Paper or Plastic?
https://youtu.be/H5iVlZOkeLc?si=cu3iTMVl13plZCeI
DV-i - Perpetual
https://dv-i.bandcamp.com/track/perpetual
Doss - Doss EP
https://doss.bandcamp.com/album/doss-ep

And while looking around for more stuff I found this:
Ornette Hawkins - Fantom

Hello, hope your request is still relevant, and hope you don't mind if some of my links will be from invidious because i haven't found them on Bandcamp.
If you love whimsical futuristic sounds, you may check Air Texture V and IV compilations:

https://airtexture.bandcamp.com/album/air-texture-iv
Ninja tune musicians made great stuff back then:

@kit @electronicmusic No idea if this fits the bill, but since I just released it and it’s sort of ambient/glitch/somewhat weird (parts are even meant to be funny): https://hogsboaviation.bandcamp.com/album/herbs-and-such

Hey there! I admit I rarely interact here but your description perfectly fits my project and catalogue!

kvtvlv.bandcamp.com

I really think you'd find the project interesting!
Admittedly, much of my work is also best appreciated as an audio-visual experience so I recommend checking out the channel too!

@kit @electronicmusic the ballisticNG soundtrack is really good! some of it's on spotify, a good chunk is on bandcamp (one album is at https://shiftdelete.bandcamp.com/album/the-ballisticng-sessions). check out the game too; if you like the music, you'll probably like the game!

@kit @electronicmusic ohhhh my i never replied, so here you go. i didnt check if anyone else shared these but if i did consider it a +1 lol
not trying to fit every point to their own song its just what comes to mind

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLRVEsiIMy0 boy 2000, fits the first one
https://youtu.be/yVWU6NyW0mU Windows96, the best and afaik only vaporwave artist still at it and makes entirely original compositions
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LouipVmv1wE idk how much this one fits but Patricia Taxxon maybe for 5 and 6?
https://youtu.be/O6XFQM0Fuuw this and Wrong People by Iwamizu may fit the 6th, the rest of their music is totally different lol
https://youtube.com/watch?v=fquojOReXKE i like this original vaporwave song from 2021
https://youtube.com/watch?v=FisV_OCJDR0 and Hello Meteor's ambient tracks are awesome

i might have more but that's everything i have off the top of my head, have fun!
