Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

If you like electronica/techno (I just listened to some Infected Mushroom - they're good! Thanks for the roundabout tip, gonna give them more attention..)
I always suggest some Amon Tobin. I linked to Supermodified, one of his earlier, more accessible albums, because as he's gotten older, he's pushed the envelope with sound textures, time signatures, instrumentation and melodic pacing. It can be a challenge and is definitely an acquired taste and if you start with his really dissonant stuff, you can be turned off - which I would be saddened by. Dig in and for sure you'll hear stuff that at first is really noisy and you may not like it - but stick with it 'cos when it finally does click and you hear it.. Ooooh, you're gonna have so much fun!
His stuff covers a wide range of electronic sub-genres and he releases under different names depending on the style.
Two Fingers - hard and (sometimes soft) fat beats. Look up the song Seesayer and turn it up LOUD!
Figueroa - acoustic + electronic w/vocals,
Stone Giants - electronic w/some vocals,
Only Child Tyrant - rock/electronica,
Cujo.. - which is older jazz-inspired smoother songs.
It's all him in various flavors.
Dip in, the water's nice.
