The Electronic Music Recommendation Thread

[SATCHMO]

I need a great down tempo, almost ambient album, something very textural and engrossing from start to finish. Any takers?

Check out Carbon Based Lifeforms - Interloper

Pretty much exactly what you're describing, and it's a continuous mix, so everything flows together from start to finish. More on the ambient side than anything else, but it's good.

I would also recommend Mordant Music - Symptons. Anything by Soul Of The Phoenix or The Orb too.

SKRILLEX has been really good, they really stepped away from "annoying" dubstep, into dubstep you actually may like

It's just one guy. Sonny Moore. And from what I've heard, he does other stuff as well. His Dubstep is more popular than anything else he produces though, since it's so goddamn big right now.

His music is just so manic, it's wonderful! It's just refreshing to hear an artist who incorporates wobble bass to not just focus entirely on the drop and be done with it. Hopefully others will follow Mr. Moore's lead and transition into more tasteful wobble arrangements.

Looking for some help - what I'm specifically looking for is electronic music in the style of the Chemical Brothers, the Prodigy, Orbital, Underworld etc, with a good beat behind it but strong melody. Not, repeat NOT, anything to do with dubstep.

Importantly, what I'm after needs to have been released in the last few months. I got the latest Digitalism album and like that a lot. The two electronic tracks I've loved most recently are 'Swoon' by the Chemical Brothers and 'Scribble' by Underworld.

Used to love big beat back in the day and though I do tend towards 'four skinny indie kids' these days I'd love to get back into electronica, so if folk could let me know if anything any good's come out lately that'd be grand. Ta very much.

Just went to a set of 'Butch' (Frankfurt) at the weekend! It was great! If you happen to have the chance to see him life in a club, then take it! ^^

I been going to the gym recently and having good music is something I must have. I been looking and looking for songs for hours. I like songs with vocal and meaning something that keeps focus on my workout. For example a song I would like is "above and beyond sun and moon."

Don’t get me wrong, there are some songs that don’t have vocal but have an amazing beat and I still like very much. It’s just that it’s really rare for me to like a song like that.

Suggestions?

Thank you for helping this noob.

You looking just for Electronic? When I go running I find that Trip-Hop tends to really get you in the mood for it. I'd suggest Massive Attack and Portishead at their darkest, particularly as both bands use a lot of vocals.
