in an effort to expand my music library and also share cool stuff, fedi, I beseech thee... lend me your ears (and boosts)
if you listen to, make, or have a friend who makes electronic music that fits any of these descriptions:
sounds like the early 2000s, especially if it's some kind of dnb, jungle, or ambient
nostalgic futurism that isn't dnb or ambient (and especially not synthwave!)
sounds like racing game music from back when it was too good
vaporwave but original (as in, not sample based) and not synthwave
weird and wacky experimental electronica that can work in the background
bass heavy but low intensity music that tickles the brain
just really pretty and interesting ambient or drone stuff in general
please drop names and links here. by all means, plug yourself and your friends if you want to
bandcamp, mirlo, faircamp, and similar links are preferable, but any link will do if those aren't available. extra bonus points if creative commons or similar
I think these styles of music are amazing and rather underrated, especially since a lot of the people who like these styles are just playing random youtube mixes in the background, so they have no idea what they're actually listening to or who to support
I also find this kind of music annoyingly hard to discover, which isn't helped by those mixes either, because most of them are either drawing from the same small handful of artists, or just playing video game soundtracks
I want to change that, even if only a little bit. for that reason, please boost
aside from just hoping to spread this post around, I'd love to write about what I hear on my website eventually too, play it during livestreams with the titles on screen, and of course share it with all my non-fedi friends
In case you missed it: The January 1 episode of BBC's #UniversityChallenge (Sheffield v Aberdeen) had a question about the "genre of dance music developed in the UK in the early 1990s out of the rave scene and reggae sound system culture, with acts like A Guy Called Gerald, and Goldie".
The answer "Drum & Bass" led to the host responding "we need Jungle I'm afraid", which caused quite a few memes & remixes.
I joined #Sbanken when I moved to #Norway because at the time they were good, compared to other Norwegian banks, at being a bit modern.
I still have an open, empty account but don’t use them and thought they’d get worse after they got bought by #DNB.
That suspicion was confirmed when this week they sent me an SMS to say that they are stopping #ApplePay support and they physically mailed me a “kodebrikke”.
Is this 2005? I’ve never needed a code brick and certainly didn’t request one.
In case anyone is looking for a #Jungle / #DnB soundtrack for this fine Saturday afternoon / night / Sunday morning, check out my live B2B #DJmix with Sammy B-Side on NYE 2010.
*This is a #repost from last Sunday, but this time I have a crappy autogenerated preview below.
"Petit" détail, mais surprenant quand même, concernant le sujet de #DNB#maths d'aujourd'hui... Des collègues ont signalé un problème avec une question de l'exercice n°4, et, stupeur, dans d'autres lieux, l'erreur n'est pas présente !!!
Une explication ???
after years I’m sliding back into listening to drum and bass more.. please hit me up with fresh releases of this year. I’m very grateful for any recommendation released in 2023.
Er du kunde i #DnB eller #Sbanken?
Har du fått med deg at det de har varslet som "endring i appen" er faktisk at de har lagt ned nettbanken?
Har du og ektefelle konti i DnB og Sbanken? En i den ene og en i den andre?
Gubben min (DnB-kunde) har nå full oversikt over samtlige av mine Sbank-konti i sin DnB-app! Nei. Jeg har aldri gitt noe som helst samtykke til det!
Er du i et farlig forhold og sparer i Sbanken eller DnB for å komme ut og vekk? Fort deg og tøm konti i både Sbanken og DnB!
For #BandcampFriday today I finally released my dreamy dnb album Spaceship Submarine.
It's 5 euros and it would mean a lot to me if you bought it. I've been without my usual paying work for a couple of months and my progress in saving so I can move to my own place and move on with my life has backslid.
It's Bandcamp Friday again, and the last one for a while until they start back up in September! Be sure to support your favorite artist today and pick up some of their music if you have the means. If you want to grab something from me, consider grabbing my latest happy hardcore single I made with my friend REIA.
