Who's a relatively unknown artist you love?

Sports, politics, movies, videogames, questionable hobbies, photos from your family vacation, etc. Talk about stuff that isn't ponies or music. But do try to stay on topic and respectful of alternate opinions.

Who's a relatively unknown artist you love?

Postby H8_Seed » 13 Nov 2011 18:17

I come across artists all the time that I love that a lot of people haven't really heard of, so in an effort to share and cultivate some new music myself, I decided to make a thread about it.

Wolfgang Gartner is one of my favorite producers and has been for a while now. This song basically encompasses every reason why; if you want to skip the intro, move to 1:00 in.

>Relatively unknown


HAHA, OH WOW.

SmarterChild

One of my new favorites. Only 212 followers on Soundcloud, which is INCREDIBLY underrated.

Uppermost

Way more popular, but still pretty unknown. Like I said on my Tumblr, his stuff is kinda like french house that got raped, killed, and raped again.

Irish Steph

Crush is just catchy and awesome as hell, and so are the remixes. Be sure to check out The Noisy Freaks remix too.

Phonat

He hasn't put much up on his Soundcloud, which probably explains the small follower number (well, small as in, he deserves way more). Set Me Free is definitely one of my favorite songs of all time.

Sadly, I don't think Beethoven counts as one.

Hey, I've literally never met anyone who's ever heard of him (surprising considering he's worked with the likes of deadmau5)

Then again, in some places, anything outside of Top 40 is "relatively unknown".

Here, anything who's not in Top 25 is unknown. Some people think that they're in some underground music storage when they talk about deadmau5.

Compared to him, we're just a pixel on my desktop.

Pretty much all the music I listen too that isn't pony or soundtrack is known. Out of all of them, I'd have to go with America as least known, but I'm pretty sure a few of there tunes you guys would easily recognize.

Ventura Highway, my personal favorite by them.

These group is like really unknown but the members are not. I found the band looking for more songs made with Adam Dutkiewicz (because everything he produces is amazing).



This guy, Jack William, will go really far in the musics! He's extremely talented as you can see above!

Those are some off the top of my head. ENJOY!

All right, well, these artists aren't necessary unknown, but I'm pretty sure they're widely unknown outside of their respective scenes, so...

GHDA is an awesome artist who makes really good gabber and schranz and stuff. He's also a lion. Who can go wrong with that?

DJ Myosuke is probably my favorite speedcore artist currently because he just does it right. Except for that dubstyle track what the fuck why did you make that Myosuke ;_;

The Shock Technician is one of my inspirations for my live noise music. His shit's intense.

Lorenz Rhode.

This guy has literally managed to bottle up all of Minneapolis'/Prince's 80's electrofunk swag, and turn it into back into music... except in like, France, and Denmark.

I just love this stuff so, so much.





Oh, and also Chromeo. They're bigger, but most people still have no idea who I'm talking about.

d.notive is Matt Larson & <other insert vocalist>

Pinn Panelle are relatively unknown, I bought their debut (not-for-profit) album and it's amazing. This is their most recent release, and I'm willing to bet that they won't be obscure for long...

Mainly live orchestral. My studio:

Yamaha P95
Roland Gaia SH-01
Korg Electribe
Roland AX-Synth
Korg Monotron+Delay
Yamaha SV-120
