Bandcamp Roulette

Raime · 08-26-2020, 07:59 AM

I thought it would be fun to make a thread where we step out our comfort zones and look for new music outside the labels we know, and maybe even countries we're not too familiar with, maybe support a few artists you wouldn't have heard of either. Basically all you have to do is search a tag, and choose "all releases", then for the results you change "Best Selling" to "Surprise Me". Once you found something you like, post it in this thread.

I'm going to spent a couple hours going through some tags after this is posted, and post at least one or 2 links. I just wanted to get this thread posted first.

EDIT: Rotasi sent me a cool site that makes it super easy, and rather quickly.

Nice, this is how I found the experimental ambient psych group Timelash: https://hareakedod.bandcamp.com/album/012-timelash

I'll play around some more and will report back.

Luke Lund "Hopium"

Found while browsing through the "Grime" tag. Experimental Dub that'll destroy a sound system. Reminds me a lot of the stuff that was coming out on Tri-Angle (FIS, Rabit, Vessel, SD Laika, Loctic). Really like this kind of stuff, but I was only aware of the handful of artists I just mentioned.

Is the surprise me thing available on the app and mobile site?

Unfortunately I don't see it on the mobile app.

Maybe I’ll just hit a tag and listen to the 20th result whatever it is. That’s probably random enough. Cool?
