DESPERATE need for some music recommendations

**Zyxel** · 03-10-2026, 06:56 AM

Yo yo whattup chatroom
I've been getting bored of my island of curated songs I listen to and want some music recommendations. More specifically, I'm looking for stuff that's thematically interesting or rhythmically niche. The issue for me probably comes from the 21st century rapid dopamine entropy where things are so aggressively accelerated everywhere all the time; but I have been losing interest in music where the idea feels played out or predictable. The time in-between where I discover a new song that raises my eyebrows has become increasingly distant and I'm in search of some new sounds

I want something that's tastefully weird, something that may hardly even qualify as music; or something that has that spark of intrigue. Pretty much just anything with a degree of novelty. Please share some music with me!

are you interested in watching things and having a visual experience to go along with the music?? I love Perfume's music on it's own, Yasutaka Nakata (the producer) is a fucking genius but Perfume live shows blend the music with choreography, lighting and stage effects and it gives a different impact than just listening to the music on it's own

They have a lot of cool live shows like this

A tad late to the party, I like Takako Ishida's "In Black and White" and "Mark I: Awakening". I also like 6amsunset new album, Graphical User Interface, well specifically Stranger Call because I am IDM biased.

Drukqs by Aphex Twin, alot of interesting and different tracks crammed into one album. IDM at its finest.

I'd be shocked if you hadn't at least heard of him, but phonon (https://soundcloud.com/phonon_music) is my go-to recommendation for stuff that is "rhythmically niche" or just out there in general.

New Years' Snow by satanicpornocultshop sounds like exactly what you're looking for.

I have some other honourable mentions, realistically I'd tell you to listen to all of them, because they all have their own quality you might've never heard before... but also you might not have the time.
Please let me know if you enjoyed any ones in particular I love talking about weird music and what makes it fun!!!

- Unit Delta Plus by Ott
- Vertigo Queen by Alon Mor
- Differentiate by the Hideaway Collective
- Narwhal by A Shell in the Pit (well known for the Rogue Legacy OST)
- It's not the Same by Yppah
- Iraqi Drum Set or Ptolemaic by Use Knife (or any of their music tbh)
- Changing States by Matmos
- Bipolar Disorder by Ame Gedeon
- Selee by Superflu
- Icicle by Amp/Ampderg/Ampyri (artist name changed a lot)
- Kaas by Joost Spijkers (for the Dutch lovers, Joost Spijkers is an amazing musical theatre performer that is also part of the Ashton Brothers)
