Keyword artist , or band/group name. I’m not looking for a genre, I want to search artists. Tell me about someone you like listening to.
Would appreciate if it’s Not symphonic/orchestral movie/videogame OST. I know there is a lot of really good music in this category but I’m trying to avoid recommendations like Hans Zimmerman or Jeremy Soule or Enya etc., since they are either really well known or fall into the orchestral and/or “epic music score” I’m not looking for.
It’s OK if some tracks have vocals or even some lyrics/voice samples but I prefer to keep them at a minimum.
Any suggestions? TIA
Marconi Union, Mord Fustang, Caravan Palace, Pkch, Siriusmo, Jacob Mann Big Band, Shubh Saran.
That should get you a wide variety.
Shai Maestro Trio.
Herbie Hancock, Snarky Puppy
Chief Kaya, Benzmixer, Automhate, Versa, Badphaze, Akirah, Ternion Sound, Spass, Aweminus
DJ Krush for some instrumental hip hop/trip hop.
Feint, Matt Large, and especially Gregory David are awesome.
Additionally, Bernth is really cool if you like guitar.
I enjoy listening to The HU. They are a Mongolian Metal/rock band. Most of their songs have lyrics, but it’s all in Mongolian so I just treat the vocals as another instrument and it may as well be instrumental to me.
Peter Gundry, Adrian von Ziegler
Check out DJ Ugly Katz!
Disclaimer: That’s one of my own projects…
Finally I made it here. I like the Chesire! Cheers
I’m a metal head, so these will be in a similar vein, though there is techno and more relaxed stuff at the end. Might add links if I remember later:
Chon, Animals as leaders, Polyphia, Plini, Syncatto, Intervals, Meganeko, Broke For Free
Listened to these two albums today, both fantastic

https://youtu.be/2GhWimO54YEI listen to Ghost Data and Porter Robinson lots. Both are electronic music, but I like them more than Zedd or Madeon because they sound more unique.
Ghost Data’s chord progressions are unique but repetitive (I don’t know many other artists that have a chord progression or vocal idea like that of “Queen of Knives”, so it’s unique, but the main chord progression of “Queen of Knives” doesn’t change all that much throughout the song, so it’s repetitive). I like that there’s sonic variety while exploring singular ideas fully, like how the main melody of “Thy Flesh Undone” repeats through different instrumentations.
Porter Robinson stuff is pretty great because it sounds more emotional than most EDM I hear. It can sometimes have words, sometimes not. The Worlds album is more of an ambient and emotional/inspiring twist on EDM; specifically I’m thinking of “Goodbye to a World” and “Lionhearted” as uniquely happy songs.
I give an honorary mention to “Antirrhinum” by MALO because its rhythms are pretty cool and confused me a lot at first. It was entertaining trying to figure them out.
