Suggestions for extreme Contemporary Electronic Dance Music

I want to widen my scope a bit and would like some suggestions for weird and extreme EDM. Would appreciate also YouTube, Vimeo, Soundcloud or other links. Thanks! :)

    There's quite a few xtreme styles out there. Here's some recent popular electronic stuff from various styles.

    & in my eyes the most important revival is/ was that of Photek's Drum & Bass style from late 90s. That made/ makes a real come back. YT link is from his album Solaris (2000)

    What do you consider weird and extreme:grey_question:

    Maybe you can go through your projects and/or sample packs and run some things through processors like Turnado, Moebius Lab, Sector, Filtatron, etc.?

    Maybe you can develop an alter ego? I'm not much of an Eric Prydz fan, but I like his Cirez D stuff.

    When it comes to the weird and experimental side of “EDM” (a term I’d use more for the commercial side of dance music rather than the more niche underground stuff we like), I dig Aphex Twin. Prepare for a trip down memory lane...

    because I play weird music ;)

    I don't find the ones you posted to be weird. Not to say I find the ones I posted to be weird either but who knows where OP is coming from..,?

  • My bet in this thread experiment is that 'contemporary EDM' kind of cancels out 'weird and extreme'... meh, genres, who cares...

    Love me some Tipper!

    I’m waiting with baited breath to see what Mannix is on about. I need an idea of what his subjective idea is so I can know what to hunt for. Could be something conventionally wacky like Skrillex’s best track...

    Mundane Skrillex...


    (Both of those tracks are better than the commercial shite known as “Purple Lambourgini”, lol.)

    Or something actually good like Cyriak...

    There was this one strange artist, but can’t remember if Danish, Dutch, Swiss, Swedish, or....but I remember the artist from around 2009, had a strange black, red, and white music video with birds or something. Been hunting years for it.

  • I actually feel something when I listen to In the Reds. That's weird and extreme. :smiley:

    My taste in electronic/dance/music ranges from early 90's dance/house music to heavier, rock-infused stuff like Chemical Brothers, Prodigy, NIN. All mainstream now, but very different when it came out.

    I still listen to those classics. Mainstream, sure, but the GOOD sort of mainstream.

    Like I said mate, I’d not use that term EDM. I’d simply say “dance music”. I like mucking about making EDM sometimes, because it’s easy. I can always take the stems and screw them up good with all sorts of FSU processes.

    I can't even bring myself to type E*M, but if you want weird, extreme and hypnotic stuff then Colin Stetson is a great example.

    For electronic weirdness try Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith "The Kid" or "The Rose Has Teeth in the Mouth of a Beast" by Matmos.

    You're probably more likely to find good weird electronic stuff by digging into older releases, everybody was still figuring things out and there weren't any 'rules'

    I'm not hearing very much original electronic stuff these days!

  • Thanks you all for posting stuff. keep it posting.

    And to answer @telecharge and so being more specific.
    I'm interested in electronic dance music that is extreme and radical. For example types of music that are meant to dance on but people would in the first place not associate with dance music. To give some historical example. Acid (303, 808, 909 based) was once a genre most people took with a laugh and saw as something for idiots. It's now an established sort of music. Later we things like Jungle and somethin called Gabber where it was about extreme speed (high count of BPMs) then came Breakcore and Trap with extreme wobbles and breaks. I know all these genres developed in subgeneres and got refined. My question is are there any new developements in these types of music and even more are there at the moment new electronic genres developing that are different from the types that I mentioned above. So music on which peopel also start to dance/ move different. Maybe it is not the case but just curious.

  • I once went to a pansonic gig trying to dance

    I think Pansonic and dance could go together very will. That people are not moved (Figuratively speaking) by this type off music has probably more to do with the type of audience. But maybe I'm also wrong. Somehow I associate this music more with art than dance. However there's an intersting crossover Autechre, Farmers Manual, etc. Anyway thanks for the links! :)

  • If you’re looking for “extreme” dance music you could try the Bloody Fist label, popular locally at the turn of the century and still quite on the edge in my view.
    *disclaimer I am not and was not ever into this sort of scene or music although I knew people who like loved it !

    You could totally rock out and dance to this.

    Of course instead of Dabbing, Jumpstyle or Jitterbug, you’d be doing Interpretive.

    So I’m assuming you’re looking for the next possible movement/trend in dance music that hasn’t hit mainstream yet but could someday? Unfortunately I’m not sure myself. I haven’t heard an original trend like that in electronic dance music in 9 years. Dubstep was the last original trend as far as I know (which then evolved into Brostep, then into Trap, and then it split into “Vomitstep” (“Purple Lambourgini”, very astutely-named self-referential genre actually) and the barf-inducing pop fluff known as Future Bass). Ever since Dubstep went commercial, every trend in electronic dance music is recycled from what was hot 20-30 years ago.

    In the meantime, we’ll just keep posting the best of the strangest, weirdest stuff we can find. ;) Who knows? Maybe in the span of two years, one of those genres will become trendy thanks to some unknown artist whose stage name we’ll soon grow to hate when he becomes a commercialised puppet. ;) Much like Skrillex and Dubstep.
