    @Cyreides @Other_electronic_fans

    I currently have Daft Punk, The Bucketheads, S'Express, Prodigy and Snap! in there but I need more Electronica albums.

    I know of Aphexx Twin and Skrillex but what are some of the best electronica artists (meaning albums that are unique and not just one big song stitched together, it needs to have variety people!) out there that I haven't listened to yet?

    honestly tho, really depends on the type of electronic music that you really vibe with

    if you're into stuff like Burial (which i am definitely not), stuff like Nero may be WAY far and away from the type of electronic music you'll enjoy

    I like all kinds of electronic music. Kind of adversive to dubstep due to it's simplicity and repetitiveness but other than that, I like all kinds.

    Understandable, but I like the term electronica because it refers to types of electronic music, not a singular genre like dubstep or house.

    I want varied electronic music albums is what I'm trying to say.

    dubstep gonna vary wildly tho

    if ur talkin bout the type that'd be up on beatport top 100 back in like 2011, then i mostly agree, but there's a lot of artists out there doing it like Nero, Zeds Dead, Bassnectar etc., that aren't so typical in their usage of the style

    in fact, Bassnectar/Zeds Dead might be somethin for u givin their styles a mix of hip hop and dubstep

    for example








    that first drop, holy f---

    COME AGAIN... :lawd:

    there's this tape of there's with rapper Omar Linx from way back when

    ^very sample based style hip hop production mixed with dubstep and rap

    also, Zeds Dead remixes from back when they first were getting popular>>>>

    like



    and this


    and where Nero is concerned, a lot of their stuff is dancy, dark, and almost has like an 80s inspired/stadium rock sound at times with their dubstep, they have a very distinct sound, especially to their synths (zeds dead too, and bassnectar at times)

    they've got a particular aesthetic when it comes to their style in general too, as you can tell from their videos/costumes/sound






    h---, they've even remixed two of their own songs from their second album to have a purposefully older vibe



    there's also this, which has a wicked f---ing solo on the end of it


    which when i went to see them live, they actually did that part live. it was dope

    also, there's obviously skrillex



    also, korns album the path of totality is a mix of metal/dubstep


    one of my favorite albums of all time

    also this is one of my favorite albums of all time as well. there's a different mix of a lot of styles across this album, with some wubs thrown in for good measure, like on this song (which you've probably heard)





    also, another favorite album is Alison Wonderlands self titled debut



    ^not necessarily dubstep on that, but electronic for sure

    That's a lot of electronic music to dissect.

    Thanks @Cyreides.
