    There is lots of great stuff still brewing in the electronic corners of the world!

    Royksopp
    Com Truise
    The Chromatics (Johnny Jewel)
    Ulrich Schnauss
    Tycho
    Ghost Culture
    James Blake (his first two albums, fucking amazing)
    Bon Iver does some beautiful electronic explorations
    Underworld released a new EP every single week of last year!! LOTS of really great experimental stuff they’ve come up with.

    Alessandro Cortini
    The Delia Derbyshire Appreciation Society
    Juliana Barwick
    Loscil (this guy is fucking incredible)
    M83

    And here’s a really obscure one that seems to get very little recognition — Dibidim (their album, Riders)

    LOTS of great stuff out there, man. And the reason I love Spotify — so many corners to dig around in.

    cool! are any of these artists new?

    How long would someone have to have been making music to be considered new? Is there some kind of age limit?

    hihi, no i mean in the sense of first Album released say.

    In 1990 I was 15 and Led Zepplin was an old band who’s first album came about 20 years earlier. The music they made sounded old and dated to me.

    I think even the idea of ‘new’ is relative/subjective.

    Led Zepplin were fresh and exciting in the early 1970's. To some their music is still great but it ain't new now.

    I being specific about electronic music and new fresh and interesting artists which hopefully are still in their 20's but more importantly just new artists and new electronic music which is original.

    'New fresh interesting' artists in their 20's are probably going to be found in the ways I described earlier. The industry has changed, there aren't record company A&R men scouring clubs and festivals looking to sign up new talent like there was years ago. They're more likely to be looking for artists that have already generated a large online/social media following, as a guarantee they'll attract sales/plays and save the record company a bit of money in publicity.

    The new/fresh stuff (don't understand the age restriction bit) is lurking in the shadows - by the time it hits the front pages it's already stale.

    My daughter was signed by a major label a couple of years back, but only because she already had 3.5 million Soundcloud plays on one of her tracks. They've since taken her 'new fresh interesting' music and (IMO) dulled it down for mass consumption.

    Dig deep for the gems.

    I being specific about electronic music and new fresh and interesting artists which hopefully are still in their 20's but more importantly just new artists and new electronic music which is original.

    Why hopefuly still in their twenties? As genres age the average age of the masters tends to go up too.

    because I want to hear new artists which can create fresh and new sounds.

    Can you give an example of an electronic artist in their twenties who did this for you pre-2000?

    sure Aphex Twin was in his 20's when becoming a groundbreaking artist in electronic music.

    so who in their twenties is becoming a groundbreaking artist in electronic music? Wait and see I guess.

    Also, it is a totally different world with many many more players in the game with a whole different market.

    An artist like that (in terms of pushing boundaries) would not get big label PR etc but as others mentioned be niche and on streaming services.

    Nowadays you need to look. This isnt the 90s where big labels would expose artists like that. Now the engine of mass exposure focuses mainly on trends not artists. Like others said, look to streaming and niche audiences. Waiting To bump into it will likely not yield fruit.

    i have been trying, i spend alot of time surfing these interweb thingy, another issue is how easy it is to just bang something out and not really be a musician at all. Although the positive is many people just make their own art instead of consuming and that is great!

  • edited January 2020

    I tend to find electronic music that I like without thinking too much about how recent it is mostly because Spotify etc tend to mix it up and recommend music based on listening habits regardless of release year, so I'm not usually aware of time periods which seem either exciting or lacklustre tbh. Having said that I've found quite a lot of enjoyable recent music (e.g. The soundtrack for the incredible game "GRIS") and some I didn't like, so mix of likes and dislikes but no more so than previously.

  • @Svetlovska @tadat ill check them out! especially Trevor Something.... cool name.

    What would you consider electronic? My fav Aphex album had a ton of clunky weird piano in it. Is chopping up the old Clyde stubblefield drum beat still electronic?

    personaly I think Mr Aphex was in many ways at the right place at the right time being elevated along with the tools. i liken him to a visual artist like Dave McKean (photoshop guy) who seized on something just right for its time and place. The great artists are in many ways a product of their time and given that the times are what they are now... well, maybe Skrillex is the new God?

    It depends what you like. The new 'electronic' stuff I stumble across and like is generally weird and whacky squeaks and pings, made by balding middle-aged men in sheds decorated with seashells and lavabread, that then turn out to be the Aphex Twin pretending to be someone else - or the other way around. And there's millions of tracks pumped out like that on a daily basis, mostly by people like me.

    I guess finding really good, well produced, musically brilliant stuff will be harder as it's more time-consuming and expensive to create - and at the end of the day most musicians earn zilch so they'd rather muck about with their new apps and Behringer synths.

    Nowadays you need to look. This isnt the 90s where big labels would expose artists like that. Now the engine of mass exposure focuses mainly on trends not artists. Like others said, look to streaming and niche audiences. Waiting To bump into it will likely not yield fruit.

    i have been trying, i spend alot of time surfing these interweb thingy, another issue is how easy it is to just bang something out and not really be a musician at all.

    What would you consider electronic? My fav Aphex album had a ton of clunky weird piano in it. Is chopping up the old Clyde stubblefield drum beat still electronic?

    personaly I think Mr Aphex was in many ways at the right place at the right time being elevated along with the tools. i liken him to a visual artist like Dave McKean (photoshop guy) who seized on something just right for its time and place. The great artists are in many ways a product of their time and given that the times are what they are now... well, maybe Skrillex is the new God?

    i would consider using samplers and computers to mess with classical instruments( piano drums) as electronic like using tape to edit sounds. The tools of the time indeed, IMO electronic music is using new tools to create a sound not able to achieve in the past.

    There is lots of great stuff still brewing in the electronic corners of the world!

    Royksopp
    Com Truise
    The Chromatics (Johnny Jewel)
    Ulrich Schnauss
    Tycho
    Ghost Culture
    James Blake (his first two albums, fucking amazing)
    Bon Iver does some beautiful electronic explorations
    Underworld released a new EP every single week of last year!! LOTS of really great experimental stuff they’ve come up with.

    Alessandro Cortini
    The Delia Derbyshire Appreciation Society
    Juliana Barwick
    Loscil (this guy is fucking incredible)
    M83

    And here’s a really obscure one that seems to get very little recognition — Dibidim (their album, Riders)

    LOTS of great stuff out there, man. And the reason I love Spotify — so many corners to dig around in.

    cool! are any of these artists new?

    How long would someone have to have been making music to be considered new? Is there some kind of age limit?

    hihi, no i mean in the sense of first Album released say.

    In 1990 I was 15 and Led Zepplin was an old band who’s first album came about 20 years earlier. The music they made sounded old and dated to me.

    I think even the idea of ‘new’ is relative/subjective.

    Led Zepplin were fresh and exciting in the early 1970's. To some their music is still great but it ain't new now.

    Hehe, I wasn't saying they are new now. i am saying as we get older our definition of ‘new’ tends to stretch to acomodate more time.

    I being specific about electronic music and new fresh and interesting artists which hopefully are still in their 20's but more importantly just new artists and new electronic music which is original.

    Why hopefuly still in their twenties? As genres age the average age of the masters tends to go up too.

    because I want to hear new artists which can create fresh and new sounds.

    Can you give an example of an electronic artist in their twenties who did this for you pre-2000?

    sure Aphex Twin was in his 20's when becoming a groundbreaking artist in electronic music.

    so who in their twenties is becoming a groundbreaking artist in electronic music? Wait and see I guess.

  • Is Skrillex still a thing? Also, to me the whole EDM/BroElectronic thing was the dark days of electronic music that while it still has it's place for some has slowly started to find the door.

    Seems to fit your criteria though.

    Are you asking who just dropped their first album in the past year that will be as revered as the next Richard Twin in thirty years? Dayum, if I could answer that then screw music forums, I’m going to wall street.

    In a slightly different shade of red that completely freaks out old people who dont get it and cry ‘heresy!’.

  • @[Deleted User] Although his album came out in 2015, Jamie XX was getting a lot of accolades for a bit there. Not sure if he fits into your request since that was some time ago.

    It depends what you like. The new 'electronic' stuff I stumble across and like is generally weird and whacky squeaks and pings, made by balding middle-aged men in sheds decorated with seashells and lavabread, that then turn out to be the Aphex Twin pretending to be someone else - or the other way around. And there's millions of tracks pumped out like that on a daily basis, mostly by people like me.

    I guess finding really good, well produced, musically brilliant stuff will be harder as it's more time-consuming and expensive to create - and at the end of the day most musicians earn zilch so they'd rather muck about with their new apps and Behringer synths.

    I think we will find the bedroom producers will improve over time, but there is certainly lot of genre mashing and fusion happening in electronic music, but the days of a band/solo artist going to a professional studio are leaving us..

    I would also say this DIY underground scene is expansive and also has women, younger folks in it, not just ol bald white guys, look at it as an investment in the future of music..

    agreed. Im in that category when i'm not learning music (not the bald bit yet but i love a shed)

    @david_svrjcek yep i keep checking the new stuff and its not very good to me yet. I will try out any suggestion as thats what i want.

  • So I can’t tell if you guys are old, pretentious, or both.

    Here’s the thing, if you’re looking for the same sound you heard 20-30 years ago, yeah you’ll be disappointed. Music evolves like anything else.

    I strongly believe that, if you aren’t finding anything you like in modern music, it’s because you don’t want to.

    my point is I don't want to hear the same thing from 20-30 years ago and electronic music hasn't been evolving lately. Can you recommend something or is that being pretentious?

    I for one am both :)

    Actually I think there is a lot of good music being made but I stand my above statement.

  • I hear new amazing electronic stuff that blows my mind all the time. It makes me feel like a primate.
