> I don't know anything much about music Some recommendations... For upbeat, fun electronica try Take's Only Mountain: https://alphapup.bandcamp.com/album/only-mountain https://alphapup.bandcamp.com/album/only-mountain For minimalistic, meticulously-composed sounds try Jan Jelinek's Loop-Finding-Jazz-Records: https://janjelinek.bandcamp.com/album/loop-finding-jazz-records https://janjelinek.bandcamp.com/album/loop-finding-jazz-reco... For an impressionistic, watery sound try Limalo's Human Bloom: https://limalo.bandcamp.com/album/human-bloom https://limalo.bandcamp.com/album/human-bloom For a dark, hazy sound try Lotide's Moonless: https://lotide.bandcamp.com/album/moonless https://lotide.bandcamp.com/album/moonless For boundary-pushing weirdness try Bunbleman's Anthill (especially the track "Focus Tous" as an introduction): https://inpuj.bandcamp.com/album/anthill https://inpuj.bandcamp.com/album/anthill For chiptune-infused beat music try Snubluck's Square Wave Phonetics: https://snubluck.bandcamp.com/album/square-wave-phonetics https://snubluck.bandcamp.com/album/square-wave-phonetics For pure retro chiptune try cTrix's A for Amiga: https://bleepstreet.bandcamp.com/album/a-for-amiga https://bleepstreet.bandcamp.com/album/a-for-amiga These are pretty random but all are probably different than what people normally associate with electronica. I don't like most of the popular electronica out there.

  No problem! Here's a few more. You might like the first two especially since you like Lotide: Perfume Advert's +200 Gamma, dreamy with lots of atmosphere: http://opaltapes.com/album/perfume-advert-200-gamma http://opaltapes.com/album/perfume-advert-200-gamma Frank Riggio's Psychexcess II - Futurism, intense music that reminds me of highway driving on a rainy night: https://hymen-records.bandcamp.com/album/psychexcess-ii-futurism https://hymen-records.bandcamp.com/album/psychexcess-ii-futu... Kristen Zwicker's Hydrazine Dream, impeccable sound design: https://kristenzwicker.bandcamp.com/album/hydrazine-dream-ep https://kristenzwicker.bandcamp.com/album/hydrazine-dream-ep Telephobia's You Must Feel Strange, uplifting futurebeat: https://oligopolistrecords.bandcamp.com/album/you-must-feel-strange https://oligopolistrecords.bandcamp.com/album/you-must-feel-... Teeb's Collections 01, a quite popular artist from LA, but awesome nonetheless: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5op3PCB8i0&index=1&list=PL0E94F8B795FDE488 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5op3PCB8i0&index=1&list=PL0...

One guy I recently discovered and fell in love with is Jeremy Blake, who is also behind the YouTube channel Red Means Recording [1]. A few weeks ago, he released a song, Reggie's Song [2], which has been like an absolute mind virus. If I'm not playing it on my bike commute to work, I need to get it in during the day somehow. The song was mostly created on a Pocket Operator OP-1 [3]. The whole video is super entertaining, as he annotates the creation process via textual inserts, and has arguments with an alter-ego, Octocat (the GitHub one?). Another EP that I really enjoyed recently, though not in the same style, is OVERWERK's Canon [4]. The same artist also created a Daft Punk anthology a few months back, which is a great way of going through the many years of Daft Punk's history, all in a single song [5] [1]: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChnxLLvzviaR5NeKOevB8iQ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChnxLLvzviaR5NeKOevB8iQ [2]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FK5cU9qWRg0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FK5cU9qWRg0 (This video covers the creation of most of the song. The whole song is available at 12m37s) [3]: https://teenageengineering.com/products/op-1 https://teenageengineering.com/products/op-1 [4]: https://soundcloud.com/overwerk/sets/canon-ep https://soundcloud.com/overwerk/sets/canon-ep [5]: https://soundcloud.com/overwerk/daft-punk https://soundcloud.com/overwerk/daft-punk Edit: It's also through issues with playing OVERWERK's and Jeremy Blake's songs that I discovered that SoundCloud appears to have some pretty major issues with their CDN. They've never gotten back to me, but some people can't play a bunch of songs, and the Android app silently skips over them. https://twitter.com/teotwaki/status/847140656715837440 https://twitter.com/teotwaki/status/847140656715837440

Thank you. Much appreciated. This is first time I heard about most of them.
