You are an odd fellow, but I must say... you throw a swell shindig.

Anyone have any recommendations for twee instrumental synth pop? Something sort of upbeat and bouncy?

Looking for recommendations for a skiing playlist, upbeat but not too intense electronic music. The platonic ideal is Tiesto - Theme from Norefjell - Magikal remix, something that sounds like gliding on blue groomers feels
https://youtu.be/V5-6rmYJiM4 , especially the portion at 1:30

Or stuff similar to M83 - Midnight City. Compelling hook that's repetitive enough to get into a flow state without being annoying about it?

I'm not at all familiar with any electronic genre, but am trying to broaden my tastes. I got dragged to the Shambala music festival a little over a decade ago, and still can't stand whatever specific sub genre was being played the whole time. However, I've stumbled on a bit of stuff I enjoy. Can anyone tell me what genre this song is? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85bk2RNmCVE - Mr. Bill and Stickybuds - porn funk
I like the glitchy, erratic, yet catchy feel this gives me. I don't have the vocabulary or knowledge to say what I like or what this or that style is even called. Thanks and happy new year to everyone

I'd classify it as Electro. See if Daft Punk - Alive 1997 does anything for you

that could fall under glitch or electro. check out basically anything on ed banger records. justice, boyz noize, mr oizo, tons of them out there.

justice is probably the most popular act, this is the most popular song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nr90nbqxuZk

another flavor you might be interested in is the avalanches first album. it's not glitch, but it's a patchwork of thousands of samples.

Agreed.

There’s actually a ton of poo poo like that out there, but it is harder to build up a good catalog of it because so much doesn’t follow the standard record label friendly album format. Pretty Lights, Griz, and Big Gigantic are some of my favorites, and they’re on the funky side of glitch. Also Zoogma, Gramatik, and this dude called Archnemesis, who did a few tracks a few years ago and then basically just disappeared.


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

Pretty Lights really digs deep for old soul sounds, and he gets a lot of his samples made live from soul and blues musicians. There’s a neat documentary on youtube following the making of his album A Color Map of the Sun.

My recent earworm is Anitra's Basement Tapes by The Coup / tUnE-yArDs from the Sorry To Bother You soundtrack.

I'm already a fan of The Coup and tUnE-yArDs, but I'd like more songs in this specific vein.

Fat Freddy's Drop is pretty good, but they're not precisely true dub.

That's a bummer, I was hoping someone would have a bunch of new recommendations. There's a lot of new "reggae" out there. There will always be a bunch of bands consisting of 20-something American white guys and I haven't found any I like yet.

it's just not on anyone's radar in jamaica, sad to say. and the diaspora isn't much on that pulse, either.

if it's any consolation, i've occasionally found good dub tracks mixed in with punk records. those typically have more reverence for the haunting sound of dub's best recordings

"Mumble rap" isn't an actual genre, so I don't really know where to start. If you tell us what specific hated artists you're most referring to, we can at least know what not to recommend you.

I'm looking for some cool instrumental electronic music.

I really like Oneohtrix Point Never / Daniel Lopatin soundtracks to Uncut Gems and Good Time, which is what kick-started this request. I also like Disasterpiece's various projects, and classic instrumental proggy stuff like CAN and Kraftwerk.

Really, I'm open to whatever. It can be more chill than the ones I mentioned, as well.

Seconding Bonobo.
Amon Tobin at any point in his career but early stuff is more cool than later, which tends toward chaotic and abrasive.

You probably know this, but Younger Brother is one of Simon Posford’s projects aside from Shpongle and it shows.

Robokomodo, it’s not quite as instrumental but good poo poo. Flock of Bleeps is really psy-trancey like Shpongle but Vaccine and its remix, Vaccine Electric are really enjoyable albums.

If you listen to the suggested Autechre and like it, try Aphex Twin and Squarepusher.

edit: also, Download (solo project by cevin key of skinny puppy) fits squarely into atmospheric electronic/IDM. the album III in particular (I think, it's been years since I listened to it fully) is probably your best bet, but Eyes of Stanley Pain, Furnace, and Effector all have tracks that may scratch your itch.
