If you feel a bit out of the loop with all this electronic blip-blop, and if Chris Evans is simply refusing to play the latest Mike Slott, then you might appreciate this list.
Here are ten tracks that have turned my head in the past year or so. You should definitely listen to them all, then get digging on the internet for more of the same. Each artist is tagged at the bottom of this post, so click through to see what else I've written about them.
It won't surprise you to know that there are more than ten acts out there: these were just the first ten I thought of. I would love it if you suggested more in the comments section.
If you're wondering where to start with modern IDM / electronica, Fat Roland's essential yet insubstantial YouTube link guide has got it covered:
Play the whole frickin' lot as a YouTube playlist or click on the links below:
Hudson Mohawke - Fuse
The Tuss - Rushup I Bank 12
Mount Kimbie - Maybes
Joy Orbison - Hyph Mngo
Rustie - Bad Science
Joker - Digidesign
Mike Slott - Gardening
Flying Lotus - 1983
Max Tundra - Will Get Fooled Again
Wisp - The Fire Above

cheers.
As far as spamming goes, that was pretty polite.
ReplyDeleteYou need to dump the rock guys. Electronic music must take over. Start slipping some Benga into their record collections...
