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
#Spotify is really crap at genres. I have no idea what #BubbleGrungle might be despite it allegedly being my 2nd favourite genre. Also "Modern Jungle" AND #Jungle, wtf? #SpotifyWrapped
In case you missed it: The January 1 episode of BBC's #UniversityChallenge (Sheffield v Aberdeen) had a question about the "genre of dance music developed in the UK in the early 1990s out of the rave scene and reggae sound system culture, with acts like A Guy Called Gerald, and Goldie".
The answer "Drum & Bass" led to the host responding "we need Jungle I'm afraid", which caused quite a few memes & remixes.
In case anyone is looking for a #Jungle / #DnB soundtrack for this fine Saturday afternoon / night / Sunday morning, check out my live B2B #DJmix with Sammy B-Side on NYE 2010.

Le 1er octobre 2018.
Après quelques semaines passées en Guadeloupe, je me décidais enfin à y faire décoller mon drone. Cette première photo prise avec exprimait très bien mon ressenti du moment et qui ne m'a plus jamais abandonné depuis : La solitude, face à une route interminable.
J'écrivais :
C'est une longue et belle route. Mais... Quelle est la destination ?
I went to a #shpongle performance yesterday together with about 1500 enthusiastic fans from all over the world, in the middle of the #thai#jungle. I'm new to the genres around #psychedelic#music and not interested in doing mushrooms (unlike most of his fans, I suspect). 🤪😝 But I did enjoy quite a few of the tracks and the overall vibe a lot. 🥰😇 If only I didn't have stomach pain from my hernia... 🫣
If you gotta hunt a demon tyrannosaurus from another damn dimension, you gotta choose the right music, and most importantly the right rhythm to wake the deep magick, enough to summon thunder down from the sky and magma up from the rocks....
De la verdure à perte de vue.
Aussi improbable que cela puisse sembler, c’est quelque part dans le paysage de cette photo que j’ai rencontré @cheyenne !

Gonna just copy this one wholesale given the context (and credit to DKBetiza on ye-ol-dump for having posted it there):...

Now, yes, bamboo already kind of has leaves, but not full blocks of leaves, which is what this post is about....
