Music suggestions?

This is a little off topic here but....

The majority of people who are active on this site probably know a decent amount about electronic music. Interested enough to research it, or at very least come here out of musical curiosity.

So what artists do you like?

I'm currently listening to Four Tet and Burial. I actually found those guys through [as] bumps. I'd love to hear what you're into right now

Not sure what the questions here is. Title says music suggestions, you asked what artists I like, and you said what artists your found from AS bumps.

NOT IMPORTANT.

Well some musicians I like would be Radiohead, Muse, Gorillaz, Cage The Elephant, etc., but I've been trying to get into more music from bumps lately. Nightmares On Wax and Psyche origami mostly. I'm actually listening to Flying Lotus right now though. Also J Dilla (AKA Jay Dee). While his music is simple and short, a lot of it was in the bumps that would show around the time I started watching AS every night.

I haven't downloaded any bumps as of now, though there are definitely some I want. I'd have to get a Zune (Yes, a Zune, not an iPod!) with more space and figure out how to even get them onto it.

I think he wants to find more similar stuff, which is cool! This is the rambling board anyway

. Well, I've gotten into a lot of artists thanks to the AS bumps, among those my favorites would have to be J Dilla, Bonobo and Mr Scruff. Blockhead's really cool too, I'd suggest the Uncle Tony's Coloring Book album which is quite amazing, and I've really enjoyed the two Bibio albums [as] has used so far. Tycho's "Past is Prologue" is great if you like what you've heard on the bumps. However, if you want some recommendations outside of the bumps spectrum, there's some good stuff out there as well. I listen to a lot of stuff

so I'm just gonna list two I've been running lately, even if they're not entirely recent. Not entirely similar stuff to what you mentioned but it never hirts to mention them. My picks would be the two Jay Electronica "Exhibit" singles available on iTunes (Exhibit A and Exhibit C), which are really nice both in vocal and instrumental forms if you're into hip-hop, and Robi Draco Rosa's "Mad Love" album, which is quite nice if you're looking for a more rock-based sound. Anyone else wanna recommend some music?

I actually credit Adult Swim (and this site for documenting it all) for getting me into electronic music. I started with a free compilation Adult Swim did in collaboration with the record label Ghostly International, which I'll link below. That got me really curious about electronic music, so I started cruising Bumpworthy basically using the bumps to delve deeper into the genre (a method that I recommend). Shortly after I started doing this, I began discovering artists that were really sticking with me. I realized that most of these (e.g. Flying Lotus, Clark, Prefuse 73) were from the label Warp Records. Once I discovered that label I looked into their catalogue and found that they have a really amazing roster. Among those artists the one that stuck with me most is Flying Lotus, who to this day remains my favorite electronic musician and one of my absolute favorite musicians period. As time went on, I discovered more artists, which led me into the label Ninja Tune Records with artists like Amon Tobin and Daedelus. More time prompted me to branch out from those two labels and discover a bunch of other stuff, like Four Tet, as well as stuff that isn't purely electronic but takes a lot of influence from electronic music, like Radiohead. Now, I'm really into independent music in general, so that's opened me up to a lot more really good stuff. So that's my story with electronic music, I hope that helps you out.

Man, DangerDoom was awesome and turned me into a huge Doom fan as well! I don't know if you knew but he's either about to release or just released a remastered version of his debut album with bonus tracks and whatnot.

Welcome to the forums!

Yep he just released it. Also new Madvillain this year! And a collaboration with Thom Yorke! And something else for Adult Swim! A lot of good stuff coming from him this year, at least according to this: http://pitchfork.com/news/41907-thom-yorke-collaborating-with-doom/

I think the only artists that [as] bumps had introduced me to were Bibio, Dorian Concept, Machine Drum, The Clifford Gilberto Rhythm Combination, and Lone (by association with Bibio). Artist beyond that that I enjoy, though, would be Squarepusher, Blockhead, Emancipator, Boards of Canada, Flying Lotus, Dabrye, Aphex Twin, ?-ziq, Amon Tobin, Odd Nosdam, Autechre, B. Fleischmann, Bonobo... tons more, but that's what I can think of off the top of my head.
