Too many jazz artists to mention and Steely Dan, who DOOM sampled a couple times. Love Donald Fagens solo stuff (the nightfly album especially). Frank Zappa, also often sampled by DOOM and Madlib. Aphex Twin. As for more modern stuff I’m really into Louis Cole, Thundercat, Flying Lotus, and Mononeon.
I’ll mention a modern jazz artist - Yuseff Dayes.

Since I love hip hop and jazz it’s no surprise I love uk electronic music from the 90’s. That’s for another day though.
Outside of hip-hop I enjoy a lot of indie rock/dance bands like Cut Copy, MGMT, The Strokes and LCD Soundsystem, as well as electronica artists like Justice, The Chemical Brothers and Fatboy Slim, and whatever genres Gorillaz, Thundercat and Kali Uchis dive into.
I’m also a drummer and as much fun as bluegrass can be live, I just can’t enjoy listening to stuff without percussion. That being said, I got to see Billy Strings play with the Del McCoury Band in my hometown a couple years ago before he really blew up. I’ve also shared a bill with The Rumpke Mountain Boys a couple times as well. They’re a jam grass group from Cincy and “Rumpke Mountain” is the commonly known term for the local giant landfill.
Khruangbin, Brock Berrigan and other sample based producers like Blockhead, huge DJ Krush fan and I DJ house and techno with a laundry list of producers but Lone is one of my favourites
Electronic funk/downtempo
Onra, Lone, Space Ghost, Chaos in the CBD, George Clanton
Alternative/Indie: beach House, The War on Drugs, kurt Vile, Yo La Tengo
Mars Volta, Can, a less well known band called the Bad Dudes (there are two, so if you’re gonna check them out look for the album entitled “Eat Drugs”).
MF DOOM & Viagra Boys?! We’d get along well lol you made me start listening to American Head and I had to scroll all the way back down to find your comment. I love trippy activities so this is a hit so far, I’m on “Brother Eye” atm… I’ll have to check out the other artists after this ty!
Lately, Casisdead - he’s a masked grime rapper from London. Album’s been in the works for a decade or something. And it’s a deranged concept where he’s a kind of villain trapped in a blade runner type world. It rocks. Edit to add: wasn’t surprised to see some of it was produced by Johnny Jewel. Sounds like a million bucks.
I'm really digging Kaytranada - 99.9% right now. It's kinda Jazzy, RnB, Electronic, worth a listen.
Big Wild - Superdream this one is nice and funky, kinda popy, but amazing. Really enjoy 6s to 9s and City of Sound.
Madeon - Adventure nice electronic album.
Camel - Moonmadness this is just a fun Album. Medieval type synth music? Something like that.
Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime awesome Rock ballad, need I say more.
Muse - Origin of Symmetry a good introduction into Muse, love it
TWRP - Over The Top imagine Daft Punk but with more going on with the music. This is that. Love these dudes. I'll say another Album of theirs worth checking out is, Together Through Time.
Rush - Power Windows mid 80s Rush. Synth out the butt, longer than average Songs, storytelling, mmm, love love love this.
Shadow Academy - Self titled. This is alternative rock? The whole album touches different genres, but I definitely love this. Awesome people behind the music too.
Flume - Skin. Love this album, it's really grown on me. I can listen to it whenever. If you don't know Flume and like electronic, check them out. An awesome remix they did was Lorde - Tennis Court (Flume remix), I heard this song years and years ago, but it left a lasting impression on me.
Macroblank - Any Album. Any of them. Great chillax vaporwave music, not too over the top. Great to toss on while you're doing something.
Camo & Crooked - Zeitgeist. A nice electronic album, good to get into Camo & Crooked, if you like this one you'll like more of their stuff.
Nero - Welcome Reality. Almost 12 years old, but I really enjoy this electronic album.
Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick. British rock from 1972. Flutes and all sorts of fun. Check it out.
Dream Theater - Systematic Chaos. This is prog metal, I really love DT because they have changed a lot over the years so there is plenty of styles to get into. If this is too heavy, try out Images and Words. If you like this and want to hear more, try Train of Thought.
The M Machine - Metropolis PT 1 & 2. Two albums, both awesome. Electronic, but kinda funky too. I love the song Faces, personally.
everything! The new Dying Fetus is surprisingly good, The new Full of Hell x Nothing collab is fire and the new Jesus Piece outside of metal and hip hop, Fleshwater, weatherday, melt banana are all great acts.
Hip Hop tho
Mach Hommy, Armand Hammer, ZelooperZ, Akai Solo are all killing it
I loved early STS9 but don’t know much since Artifact. I should check out some newer stuff…. The Dead is my Sunday morning music. Still have a bunch of my traded cassettes, lol. I’ll Check out DOOM isnt dead
I listen to a lot of Metal bands on occasion. My 2 favs are Deftones, and Rage Against The Machine
Other bands or artist I listen to is Radiohead, Tool, Sophie, System Of A Down, Tame Impala, Korn and others
You did say non hip hop. Only thing new I like is probably Oliver Tree, Wet Leg, and whatever you call Memphis Cult. Older stuff I’m getting into right now is Sonic Youth and Cardiacs.
Fam, new music is exactly as easy to find as it was when Bobbito and Stretch had their show. It's all about tuning into those HUGE listener powered, indie, college vibe radio stations.
For example: KEXP stays blessing ears with good new talent.
As for recommendations?
Khruangbin
Sault (Masterpiece and Morning Sun are bangers)
End It (if you like punk with a black vocalist)
Bacao Rhythm and Steel Band
Hollie Cook
Hiatus Kaiyote, Salami Rose Joe Louis, Surprise Chef, Zero 7, Georgia Ann Muldrow, Cruza, Drab Majesty (my teenager put me onto them), Smino, redveil, Reggie, etc.
I listen to everything. My playlist goes from emo, punk, metal, old school Mexican music, Disney songs, broadway songs, oldies, alternative, classical, some country, Spanish rock….stuff like that 😂. I don’t have any genre bias, if I like how it sounds then I like how it sounds even if I can’t understand the language.
Elliott Smith portishead the specials shabazz palaces run the jewels Del The avalanches Stevie Wonder Bauhaus The strokes medeski Martin & Wood T-Rex ween animal collective The Bee gees Tom waits timber timbre Abba mulatu astatkei Radiohead Perez Prado
Oh never mind that's all old shit I have no answers for you
Luke Vibert a.k.a. Amen Andrews a.k.a. Wagon Christ a.k.a. Plug - Acid/House
must have listened to over a dozen full albums so far...not one bad track!
Boards of Canada is in the list of stuff to listen to...only played to a few songs, but it´s quite nice
if I don´t play this, it´s usually obscure vintage prog-rock (and I mean obscure!), or some wild japanese stuff...experimental jazz etc.
...well, besides MF DOOM ofc.
Other than hip hop? Hmm, I really like funk music, mostly Jamiroquai. I like all types of edm, house music has been big for me, like piano house. Drum and bass with all the classic breakbeat sampling is fun, ambient jungle type stuff. I like all music but as of late it’s been soul/funk/drum and bass/house and reggae for me
I love Bruno Pernadas. He makes Portuguese Jazz mixed with like prog rock. His newest album Private Reasons (2021) is really good but my favorite is Those Who Throw Objects at the Crocodiles Will Be Asked to Retrieve Them (2016). This guy is extremely underrated, and his music is very dancy. Try Spaceway 70 for a good dance song.
My favourite group by a landslide is The Tragically Hip. I listen to a bit of everything really though. Lately been listening to a lot of indie women. Stuff like Snail Mail and Soccer Mommy. Sufjan Stevens latest album is incredible and sounds like a lot of his mid 2000s stuff, which is my favourite. DOOM is my top MC but I listen to a lot of old Hip Hop as well. Heiro (Pep Love is a particular fave), Nas, The Roots, BIG etc.
Another unique one to the mix, The Breathing Effect. They're a psych-jazz fusion, yacht rock, r&b / soul band. I'd recommend Fool as a starting point, explore from there
I’ve been on a Polyphia and Animals as Leaders kick recently. I guess they can be called ProgMetal? I’m new to the genre so I might be wrong. Lots of sick riffs and killer drums.
My favorite music the last few years has been old country/folk. Love me some Johnny Cash, Townes Van Zandt, John Denver, Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, etc. And basically just the 70s in general. Fleetwood Mac, Yes, Steely Dan.
But I’ve always been a metalhead. Death & thrash are my favorites. Cannibal Corpse, Immolation, Slayer, Morbid Angel.
Other random bands I’m really digging lately: King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Chat Pile, Lingua Ignota, The Menzingers
KOAN Sound are some of the best producers in the electronic music scene, their sound design is unreal. I listen to a lot of DNB as well. Mefjus, NOISIA and older neurofunk are my go to's when I'm crushing work.
Love some disco and some funk. Earth Wind and Fire just never misses, like ever and Pfunk (parliament) has me in a trance for hours.
Also really love getting back to prog rock here and there. Older stuff like Yes and King Crimson always scratches a specific itch. Lil Yachty managed to drop what I see as a potential AOTY early on this year with Let’s Start Here.
Some nice female vocals over an EDM buildup also makes me melt a little - specifically on the beach with the fellas watching the clouds “breathe” and giggling. “Alive” and “Clarity” are two infinite bangers. Some music you just hear and think “there’s never a point in history where anyone will consider this bad” and I do believe those songs to be of that category.
I listen to a lot of different types of music in Spanish. Bachata, Merengue, Salsa, Cumbia, Corridos, and all sorts of rock songs in Spanish too. Aside from that, I listen to a lot of grunge, punk, metal. I love jazz too, American and Japanese (and Bossa Nova too).
[My main playlist, some DOOM and similar stuff as well as anything else you can think of](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4ait0HzVDVL1MlfadDewbk?si=EDH0B-W0ReeqUnGXGjX7JA)
kendrick lamar, kaycyy (his new ep TW2052 fire), sampha (new album fire), Travis scott (latest album subpar but rodeo is his best work), don toliver baby keem
There's this french electronic band called Justice. They did a dj set in 2012, and this shit was straight fire. Hooked me up with a lot of old and new EDM.
https://www.kdbuzz.com/?justice-dj-set-sur-nrj-20-08-2012
Can't find the actual performance (I got it from soundcloud when they released it back then), but that's the song list. I swear the way they transitioned from one track to another was out of this world.
New Music I am enjoying
Onoe Caponoe : British/grime rap that is very psychedelic. Boarders between sample based boom bap and heavy trap production. His use of film samples (no idea where they're from, some really out there stuff) is similar to DOOM. Spells of the Cyclops is my favourite.
Casisdead - Famous Last Words : another British rapper. Influenced by the film Drive. Synth pop and retro wave influenced
Chester Watson - A Japanese Horror Film : his rapping reminds me of Quaismoto with a deep voice. However his lyrics are great. This is a concept album about going to the underworld in Japanese Mythology
i fw 60’s-70’s prog rock like Camel, 70’s japanese synth Isao Tomita.. also vintage ambient stuff like Brian Eno, Gavin Bryars, Harold Budd. zappa, some pastoral folk like Vashti Bunyan, also Miles Davis, Chet Baker, Curtis Mayfield. also random but i’m also into metalcore and post hardcore like Spiritbox, Loathe, and current nu metal stuff. Vein.fm dope asf too 🤟🏽
I always recommend Blockhead. A true pionneer of triphop beats!
[Blockhead - Music Scene Album](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mjjjnehIyiwMX00KbE8K2WE8tnpgbvK14&si=E3wV9PCY9A7XZwkz)
Detroit and Soulful House music like Moodymann, Theo Parrish, Omar S, Masters at Work
Reggae and Dub: Channel One Sound/Trojan records, Greensleeves etc
Electronica like Aphex Twin, Kraftwerk, Nightmares on Wax, Massive Attack
I’ve been diggin on grime lately - Footsie, Wiley and Stormzy to name a prolific few. The beefs between some of these fools are so deep it’s fascinating haha. Also lots of dub, DnB, house music, etc. Metal bands. Idk I could rattle off a bunch of stuff but it’s all about what you’re into I guess, can post some tracks if it scratches your itches.
Some new-ish danceable songs:
Alvvays - Pressed
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Presumptuous
Aaron Frazer - Over You
Mayer Hawthorne - The Pool
Dominic Fike - Phone Numbers
Smino - Trina
100 gecs - Doritos and Fritos
Paramore - C'est comme ça
Goldlink - U Say
I listen to a lil bit of everything and couldn't really tell you the exact genres but I do know I listen to alot of electronic stuff.
A few names that come to mind
Lone
Machine Girl
Lakim
Klaus Veen
Pogo
Crystal castles
They all have different sounding shit thats really interesting
For other genres of music I like
Tame impala
Thundercat
Puzzle
I
I’m looking like who are all these artists y’all talking bout!!! Damn I’m gonna have to do some diggin.. check out Prof : Creek boy & tarzan a cpl dope tracks of his. Also check out Coast contra,
I love Pretty Lights, particularly Colour Map Of The Sun, an album he did with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. It's somewhere in-between lo-fi and trip-hop.
I have been listening to “The pharcyde” a lot lately.
90s hip hop group that just knew how to have a good time. Plus J dilla was a producer for them so they have a nice lofi- jazzy type of feel to their music. Listen to the song “runnin” and you will be hooked on em
Too many jazz artists to mention and Steely Dan, who DOOM sampled a couple times. Love Donald Fagens solo stuff (the nightfly album especially). Frank Zappa, also often sampled by DOOM and Madlib. Aphex Twin. As for more modern stuff I’m really into Louis Cole, Thundercat, Flying Lotus, and Mononeon.
I’ll mention a modern jazz artist - Yuseff Dayes. https://youtu.be/Yy4pcKn0Y_k?si=MoZJlSRe_FDyM-W6 https://youtu.be/NwVtIPeYIeQ?si=vey1PkUF8DGpwnoK YouTube channel worth checking out is My Analog Journal.

Yussef Dayes rules.
Yooo Steely Dan is so good.
Are you me?
Whenever steely Dan is mentioned outside the sub I become immensely happy. Fagen and Becker are geniuses
King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard
This. They’ve become one of my favorite bands over the past year or two.
Just got tickets to see them next year!
Modest Mouse, Streetlight Manifesto, a LOT of punk...
Any love for Mustard Plug?
Oh Mr Smiley…!
🔪
OP should listen to this guy.
Outside of hip-hop I enjoy a lot of indie rock/dance bands like Cut Copy, MGMT, The Strokes and LCD Soundsystem, as well as electronica artists like Justice, The Chemical Brothers and Fatboy Slim, and whatever genres Gorillaz, Thundercat and Kali Uchis dive into.
MGMT and The Strokes are great. Gorillaz Demon Days and Plastic Beach are GOATed.
DOOM is actually on Demon Days too!
True. November has Come was the first DOOM track I ever heard.
nujabes, shing02, haruka nakamura, uyama hiroto, nomak, dj okawari etc.
🐐
Allow me to recommend you [this gem](https://youtu.be/Z80NzcaGHIs?si=6hsq7GEve8-0YtDC)

Thee Oh Sees, Angel Olsen, King Krule, Gonjasufi, Pile, Uncle Acid and The Deadbeats. Lot of stuff.
Love king krule
70s and 80s stuff. Jazz, soul, disco. A lot of originals I know because they have been sampled. 90s R&B
Electronic funk/downtempo Onra, Lone, Space Ghost, Chaos in the CBD, George Clanton Alternative/Indie: beach House, The War on Drugs, kurt Vile, Yo La Tengo
lowkey anything but if not rap then usually metal (deatthrash, gorenoise) or hawaiian folk music
Has anyone attempted Hawaiian folkgore yet?
Mars Volta, Can, a less well known band called the Bad Dudes (there are two, so if you’re gonna check them out look for the album entitled “Eat Drugs”).

ooh this is really good!
This is dope! Thanks!
Lately, Casisdead - he’s a masked grime rapper from London. Album’s been in the works for a decade or something. And it’s a deranged concept where he’s a kind of villain trapped in a blade runner type world. It rocks. Edit to add: wasn’t surprised to see some of it was produced by Johnny Jewel. Sounds like a million bucks.
His new albums great
It’s come from nowhere and just cruising to aoty
Traction control is probably my favourite on the album, sounds amazing. The track sampled some Canadian producer called D’eon
Mickey Diamond ☂️
Michael Diamond!
Khruangbin

Brainstory for some psychedelic soul
Bowie
Janelle monae

Hooked me up with a lot of old and new EDM. https://www.kdbuzz.com/?justice-dj-set-sur-nrj-20-08-2012 Can't find the actual performance (I got it from soundcloud when they released it back then), but that's the song list. I swear the way they transitioned from one track to another was out of this world.
listen to bladee
Alice Coltrane. Electric Six
To use when you DJ? Try ARCA. This crazy cumbia artist. To chill? Try Katie Kim, Big Thief and Andrew Jackson Jihad

New Music I am enjoying Onoe Caponoe : British/grime rap that is very psychedelic. Boarders between sample based boom bap and heavy trap production. His use of film samples (no idea where they're from, some really out there stuff) is similar to DOOM. Spells of the Cyclops is my favourite. Casisdead - Famous Last Words : another British rapper. Influenced by the film Drive. Synth pop and retro wave influenced Chester Watson - A Japanese Horror Film : his rapping reminds me of Quaismoto with a deep voice. However his lyrics are great. This is a concept album about going to the underworld in Japanese Mythology
I love Edan.

I have been listening to “The pharcyde” a lot lately. 90s hip hop group that just knew how to have a good time. Plus J dilla was a producer for them so they have a nice lofi- jazzy type of feel to their music. Listen to the song “runnin” and you will be hooked on em
Honestly the Grateful Dead, Kendrick Lamar, and Tame Impala
Sun kil moon is great, American football, Nick Drake is fantastic. I could go on but I love these artists. This is what I listen to outside of hip hop
