> Any underground IDM recommendations? If you're a fan of the 90s-2000 stuff from SF's SomaFM [1] their playlist is always pretty good, I actually ripped their entire station (back in the early 2000s there was only Groove Salad and maybe 2-3 others) for 6 months and bought pieces here and there as I went along. My favorite was a rare Lloop album, and a remix album of The Irresistible Force's track Nepalese Bliss. I always wanted a vinyl copy of Stryke - Introspection, I already have the CD version, but couldn't find it anywhere, even on Discogs after all these years. I got a bunch of Higher Intelligence Agency stuff, too somewhere in a box. It's hard to know exactly when IDM turns into Ambient, and where Ambient can cross over to Triphop on that station, but I found a ton of amazing stuff from really niche artists like Global Communication, Mark Pritchard, who eventually got into the same Dubstep sound I was into later on and got his stuff released on one of the most venerates labels at the Time (DeepMedi). He even came from Australia and played at the Dub War nights in NY with Joe Nice. I actually met Gel-Sol randomly in a chatroom, and he gave me a cut of his album with no strings attached [2] when I recognized his name back when I was an incoming freshman living in the dorms to listen and review while we spoke. I never saw him again after we spent all night talking about EDM/IDM artists we liked and the album ahead of its release. My GF at the time just rolled her eyes and told me I could have just told her I didn't want to hang out instead of making up some elaborate lie to stay in my room all night on the computer. I just played Few and Far Between while updating this with links and it still puts a smile on my face remembering that night. Those were crazy fun days that I'm still fond of, especially given where my musical tastes have gone throughout the years spanning/DJ'ng dark deep UK halfstep 140/170BPM and now into Darksynth and Dark Elctro as it doesn't make any sense as I originally come from the chiller, cerebral, calmer IDM ambient side of EDM, too. Here is another playlist with featured Groove salad tracks to check out [3]. Glad to see the Bandcamp guys checking in, thanks for what you do, guys! 1: https://somafm.com/ https://somafm.com/ 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOCSzUMn4MA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOCSzUMn4MA 3: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC92F5746C6D6A454 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC92F5746C6D6A454
