I'm looking for some heavy (for lack of a better term) electronic music similar to "Turf" by El Huervo, from the Hotline Miami soundtrack:

No idea where to start, so any and all suggestions are appreciated, thanks.

You should check out Ui. They're a big no-brainer rec off of Tortoise, I think. They're basically a funkier, more concise Tortoise.

Also, less obscure, more of a leap, but one of The Best Bands: Gastr Del Sol, if you're not already a fan.

If you check out Gastr Del Sol, make sure you listen to at least five or six songs before passing any judgment, because some of it is rather... avant-garde... but they can rock, too. Since you're a Tortoise fan, you might already know them, but also check out Isotope 217 and 5ive Style. Karate and June of 44 might work, too.

You may like Xotox if no vocals is a requirement.

I think a good path to follow with Gastr is reverse chronologically. Camofleur is a downright pretty album. Maybe try Mirror Repair before Upgrade & Afterlife.

I'm looking for music with a relaxed/light sound and soft-spoken female vocalists. Indie Rock (?) with guitars is O.K., but I also enjoy harps, piano, and violin. While searching through similar genres is possible, the voice matters a lot more than the exact style of instrumental music, and that's a lot harder to search for. Donna Lewis is, in my limited musical knowledge, the quintessence of what I'm looking for in this regard.

I like "The Sea" by Phaedra and "Here is Where We Used to Sing" by Fovea Hex--maybe worth checking out. How about Sarah Harmer or Dar Williams?

Phaedra and Fovea Hex might make for some serious meditative music, so I'll get those for my long bike rides.
Sarah Harmer isn't quite what I had in mind, but I kinda like her sound and will definitely look into her work some more. Dar Williams might not make the cut.

Thanks for these awesome suggestions.

French artists are also acceptable, as I am comfortable enough with the language to enjoy it (I adore Carla Bruni's work).

Examples:

Also, I am looking for music similar to Atmosphere, Jedi Mind Tricks, and Immortal Technique. The use of an orchestral background with hip-hop lyrics is amazing, and I'm having trouble finding more of it.

For lady folk, try Mazzy Star.

These are a bit odd in that the tempo is super fast and the percussion is sorta tinny instead of using, like, big drums. It has a carneval music air.

How's these sound to you?

Paulinho's best albums were in the '90s, particularly Foi Um Rio Que Passou Na Minha Vida, but it's all good.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceBdGz3eTFg

This is the song of of samba from São Paulo. He made a few good albums, all self-titled IIRC.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWtAtcN0F7w

Cartola's stuff is a bit more romantic and mellow than your examples, but he's pretty much the most famous figure in the scene. I think all of his best albums are all on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLgKU0pxK6Q por exemplo.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26QToE8gwtg

This is from a film about Noel Rosa, a '30s composer who's an absolute cornerstone of the samba songbook. There's a lot (A Lot) of compilations of people singing Noel's songs, in varying styles, so if come across "X Canta Noel Rosa", give it a whirl. Ismael Silva's album Se Você Jurar is very very good too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGW0k60mLDQ

That's a super percussive and upbeat Candeia record, he's got a few others in that style.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxQB1FYLu5k

Another figure from the '70s. He's still around, I saw him play in a shopping centre in Lisbon a few years ago lol.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrymjzHlYEw

And here's something that has a real African music air, sort of modernised Northeastern tribal stuff. Really good.

To finish off, here's a couple of things that doen't strictly fall into what I think of as "classic samba", due to being more diverse stylistically, but you'll probably enjoy:

Edit: A lot of people dig on Courtney Love but I think Hole's Live Through This and Celebrity Skin are actually pretty good records. Especially Celebrity Skin probably partly due to Billy Corgan's involvement with it.

I'm looking for 70's era folk/singer-songwriters with a melodramatic acoustic sound.

Subjectively speaking, I am looking for songs that are subtle and mellow rather than overwrought and sappy in the vein of Neil Young, Chris Bell, and Nick Drake.

James Taylor is all over the place musically but tunes like Fire and Rain and Sweet Baby James might fit the bill. Glad I could help.

Seals and Crofts is also not a bad listen...

Kind of hard to talk about 70's folk without mentioning John Denver... a lot of his more well known songs do sound more upbeat to me but there's some a bit melancholic.

Julie Doiron, maybe St Vincent and, if you want something really diffrent, Nikaido Kazumi. Nina Nastasia isn't in quite the same vein, but she's amazing and I just recommended her, so...

I never knew about Tom Waits's earlier stuff, I'll definitely check that out.

I'm liking everything I'm hearing so far, although specifically I am looking for songs that are a bit more low-tempo. Something in the vein of Elliot Smith.

Another thing, I tend to stay away from songs about relationships/women and prefer something a little more universal (e.g. drug abuse and depression). That's like a niche inside of a niche.

The entirety of the Into The Wild soundtrack by Eddie Vedder is extremely excellent if you want something from more recent times...
