looking for a genre that may or may not exist

[Miku]

i need some sort of funky adventurous electronica that uses really vintage sounds and takes you all sorts of places imagerywise, and without any sort of vocals. is there a name for this / where can i get some?

[zircon]

Chemical Brothers does a lot of stuff like this.. for instance, their song "Private Psychadelic Reel", the last track on "Dig Your Own Hole".

*shrug* Just check out Ishkur, see what matches the best.

Try some Shpongle or Ozric Tentacles.

[Kittie Rose]

There's probably some industrial bands that are like that, but not many.

"The Most Fascinating Man" - is this the kind of music you mean?

[suzumebachi]

Ozric Tentacles ftw

Side topic note, Ishkur is highly uneducated outside general electronica genres. :lol:

Though yeah for this question, that is a good place to start.

Miku! Go use winamp or iTunes (or RealPlayer) and find a chillout shoutCAST station. You can search here: http://www.shoutcast.com/ (search with the term "chillout")

1.FM
Digitally Imported

those are some good stations to check out. I think I know what you're talking about and if you listen long enough you will hear a song that fits your description. Be sure to get the artist name and song title when you do hear something.

Miku, from what I can gather you're talkin some sweet flute lines, jazzy rhodes and a funky bassline. Throw in some DnB style stuff in the background and some punchy beat in the foreground? Don't forget some sweet ambient pads to set the right mood and then a screaming synth lead that evolves over time?

You should try: http://www.soma.fm and go to "Beat Blender" station. It might have more acoustical instruments than you want, but go ahead and tell me if that's close to thing you're looking for. Lots of jazz, retro-funk, a good helping of electronic processing and synths.

Yo miku, I am interested in your feedback. I want to know if you found the music you were looking for.

Don't triple post.

Don't triple post.

But each post is a day apart. The first to second post is actually 3 days apart. 8)

Hmm, I couldn't find Medwyn Goodall nor could I find his song, "Raven". The database is very incomplete and so it would never be able to track down bedroom artists which are the leaders of genre that Miku is looking for. I could be wrong.

A triple post is three posts in a row. Just stop responding until your intended recipient posts back.

:x Well ok, but Miku is just mean for not responding.
