What I'm listening to today: "BLK ZMBY", billy woods
As far as I can tell, this song is intended as a political condemnation of the living dead. Mr. woods makes hip-hop with complex and layered messaging, some of which is not intended to be Legible to me personally. This track is slow murky deep fried jazz
"In 2023, Woods published a children's book titled A is for Anarchist.[11][27]"
from the album GOLLIWOG
What I'm listening to today: "Funknitium-99", Fearofdark
This guy is a prolific Bandcamp/YouTube tracker musician, and here he pulls out some fusion funk with an immaculately crisp, clean energy. If you like the music in Sonic the Hedgehog levels listen to this
What I'm listening to today: Yoyaku instore session, Karla Böhm
Here is a Belgian DJ spinning an hourlong techno set in a record store in Paris. Chill deep house beats, slowly transitioning into French Touch over the course of the set. Great feeling throughout. I think this video was produced as promo for the store, as the camerawork is unusually professional for this sort of video.
What I'm listening to today: "End Of The Abyss | Erica Synths Steampipe + Perkons x Soma Cosmos | Drone Day 2025 Live Jam", Travis Benjamin Simpson
Evolves in a way which suggests internal narrative, a journey through a long dark pipe. This is intense, atmospheric, horror-movie music given an unusual color by the fact it is being performed in a bright, sunny backyard with a pink flamingo. Three boxes, two near-designed for ambient drone, but the third is…a drum machine?
What I'm listening to today: "Citrus Cirrus", Muscises
It's hard for chiptune to surprise me at this point, but this surprised me. Impossible sounds coming out of the Sega Genesis sound-chip pair, funk music that has returned from the planet Jupiter with terrifying psychic powers, an evening drive in a convertible while the skyline of an impossible ruined city rises in the distance. A plausible soundtrack for your dreams
What I'm listening to today: "Bound For The Floor", Local H
Grunge is really good actually and there's some great gems if you look a layer or two deeper than the big 3 acts. This, from 1996, is a late (last?) gasp of "alternative rock" before slick acts like Creed and Matchbox 20 took over the space completely. It's a beautiful sustained single note, a monotone intonation, a hoarse, frustrated yell.
Supposedly this album is about how much it sucks to live in Illinois.
What I'm listening to today: "Dawless Dreamz #2", Glemii
Here Korg's long-forgotten ur-groovebox, the Electribe, does a duet with an actual Game Boy to create what the musician calls "ambient jungle". This is one minute long and feels fantastic, objects from the past breaking through the envelope of time to show a glimpse of the beautiful feature we deserve.
What I'm listening to today: "Tiny Setup, HUGE Sound: Jungle with the PO-33 KO! + Monotron Delay", Pocket Trax
The Pocket Operator and Monotron Delay remain the bang-for-buck champions of the desktop synth world, "toy" devices that at one time retailed for $60-80 in the Guitar Center checkout line (…before inflation…) and pair beautifully.
This shockingly hard track shows just how far you can push these little PCBs. Lightspeed 12-bit drum & bass
What I'm listening to today: "4 dollar casio sa5 processed through EQD avalanche run, afterneath and transmisser reverb", Anne Sulikowski
Gorgeous, slow ambient music composed live on [see above]. Time-lapse video of clouds over cliffs, a cat sleeping for nine hours, chunky kalimba echoing over brainfog. Three blocks away there is a cement mixer running, just at the edge of your hearing, far enough the acoustics of the street turn the grinding into soothing white noise
What I'm listening to today: "Slack", Gar Hoover
Here's the PO-33/Monotron Delay tiny power combo again, making what the musician calls "Chill House" with more than a bit of French touch. Stands out from its genre with some strange sample freaking (is that Paul McCartney??).
Notice the YouTube synth community pro tactic of leaving some random objects on the desktop for Visual Interest.
What I'm listening to today: "kickstart my heart", elricfd
oversaturated brainglaze vaporwave fuck music
This URL was in a text file on my computer where I must have stashed it at some point. I have no idea what this is and I do not remember where I got it from. Bandcamp informs me this musician is the inventor of "Frasierwave". Ok
What I'm listening to today: "[You Caught Me] Smilin'", Sly and the Family Stone
My favorite track from "There's a Riot Goin' On", possibly the most stoned funk album ever made. I have heard so many weird stories about the production of this album, and I don't know which ones are true. Everybody sounds like they just woke up. Everybody sounds like they love making music. The music itself sounds like it's drunk
What I'm listening to today: "The Ocean Floor" (part 1), Kazumi Totaka (Nintendo)
In Japan, Mario Paint got a sequel for the 64DD (an N64 peripheral that added internet access, mouse support, and a floppy drive). The music for Mario Artist is *amazing*. This track is moody fusion jazz, vaporwave in 1999; it pushes the N64 to the limit, synthesizing most things but then dropping in what seems to be an entire realtime guitar track. (I think part 2 samples Massive Attack.)
What I'm listening to today: " DRIVIN' ", Fox Capture Plan
*Incredibly* funky Tokyo jazz, tons of energy and wild futuristic synths that just slam you from the start like you're a movie character who just opened the forbidden box and it was full of otherworldly light that disintegrates you instantly. But like, in a smooth jazz kinda way. Do you like electric piano
from the album XRONICLE
What I'm listening to today: "Level 3", Jim Andron
The Phillips CD-I is one of the most infamous video game system failures ever, and it hides a secret: *The CD-I Tetris game had a bizarrely kind of amazing soundtrack.* 10 tracks (I also love "level 0") of the kind of pure vibes "Vaporwave" was trying to chase in the 2010s slowing down 80s r&b. This version comes pre-slowed down! Strange murky easy-listening swamp jazz, general MIDI instruments only
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRVEtOL6Kho&list=PLFCp1PLqgPzCrfc4BALfINUs7ueJMkUcP&index=4
What I'm listening to today: "Wanted", Hiromi
Some chill loungey jazz by a Japanese pianist and her band. Wonderful feel.
This is the kind of music that trip hop was processed from and I believe trip-hop fans should listen to some of the raw uncut stuff once in a while, perceive the woman who casts the shadow. Actually I'm not sure there ARE any trip-hop fans under 40. Maybe liking Portishead in 2025 is the equivalent of liking jazz in 1998. But I did like jazz in 1998
from the album Sonicwonderland
What I'm listening to today: "When The Catholic Girls Go Camping, The Nicotine Vampires Rule Supreme.", GIRAFFES? GIRAFFES!
Basically whenever I listen to Tera Melos, Tidal recommends this next. It's actually a pretty good four-minute primer on "math rock"!
What is Math Rock, at core? It's jazz. It's just jazz with rock instruments. Or maybe metal with jazz instruments. In the 70s we called this prog, now it's math or post rock. Anyway here's guitar played very fast
from the album More Skin With Milk-Mouth
What I'm listening to today: "Main Menu" (Mario Artist: Communication Kit), Hideaki Shimizu (Nintendo)
"Mario Artist" for the N64DD consisted of 4 separately-sold "games", of which this is the slightest and most utilitarian (a piece of modem software that let you upload and download creations from the other 3 games). It has possibly the most interesting soundtrack; it seemed to want to be unobtrusive, so it's minimal and ambient. This is a wonderful sparse techno track:

What I'm listening to today: "Hand of Doom", Black Sabbath
Have you ever listened to Sabbath's early stuff? They're still nailing down their sound (ie "metal") and so it's got this wild raw nature to it with currents in strange directions. I hear people describe parts of it as "blues". "Paranoid" is worth a listen in full; this track's a twisty, dynamic, genre-spanning little rock opera about drug addiction with Ozzy Osbourne (1948-2025) using his entire emotional range
What I'm listening to today: "Ambassadors of All that is Good" ➜ "40 Rods to the Hog's Head" ➜ "Guy vs DC Sniper", Tera Melos
The magnum opus of Tera Melos's early instrumental-only days is this 3-track sequence. "40 Rods" is the highlight but it needs the windup and cooldown of the other two tracks. Incoherent noise slowly coalesces into gorgeous melody then dissolves back into noise. Ordo ab chao, order out of chaos—

from the album Drugs / Complex
What I'm listening to today: "Breathe", Azkyll
This is a deeply strange album consisting almost entirely of indefinable "weird noises" (mostly, I think, coming from a granular synthesizer)? This particular track is all punchy, staticky percussion with the "music" part only present as a hint or aftertaste, sounds with implied colors, étude for violent coughing fit and string quartet

I enjoyed the video; this one's really nice to just stare into and try to reverse engineer the pattern (I ultimately couldn't).
What I'm listening to today: "severe brain damage by dominator"
This is a 1996 "octamed" modfile/tracker tune for the Amiga soundchip that simply goes as hard as it possibly can, dialing in some sort of acid sound and then slowly turning one of the knobs more and more until it actually breaks. Simultaneously a audience-pranking brainfuck and a thoughtful mix of dance genres; the drum line feels like it might be one of the "classic" breaks but I can't identify which one.
What I'm listening to today: "Close your Eyes (Autechre Corporation Street rmx)", Anodyne
One time Autechre dropped a whole ass Funky Drummer loop on a track and it ruled
What I'm listening to today: "Jackin for beats", Ice Cube
On this track Ice Cube states an intent to steal every other rapper's beats, then follows through. Despite the claim of "jacking" Cube actually did pay for sample clearance on every beat used here, leading to a situation where 112% of this track's revenue is owed on sample royalties. If you buy this track on Apple Music, Ice Cube loses money
What I'm listening to today: "メトロノーム同期 (32個)", Ikeguchi Laboratory, Tokyo University of Science
This is an entirely physical effect. Place two or more metronomes on a table and start them at different times. The metronomes will acoustically couple through the table and gradually interfere with each other until their oscillations move into perfect alignment.
You might have heard of this trick before! But try just listening to it. Like really listen
What I'm listening to today: "Weekly Beats #8 - Dustin'", Tristan Baldi
Elektron are giants in modern "DAWless" music production, a path they started on¹ with the pair of idiosyncratic "machine" synthesizers released starting in 2001. Here on a machinedrum with hacked firmware is a chill song for laying on a machine beach sipping coolant, watching a square sun set. Takes off once the beat comes in

What I'm listening to today: "Brutal", HarrytheHat
Core-competency Jungle from an EP¹ made on a restricted set of instruments (2 Pocket Operator samplers, 1 Monotron Delay, 1 Volca Bass dialed into 303-mimic acid mode).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsbwnOX8aQo
Heavy but smooth; Millenials will immediately have flashbacks to late-90s racing games. Of course this isn't the hardware people would have used in the 90s, it just has the same number of bits².

What I'm listening to today: "shapely hedgerows of the dying world", Dragon Warrior
Shuffling, comfy instrumental folk / indie pop in the Elephant 6 style. Feelings like Polaroids of early mornings. You might know this musician as Brother Android or Harrison Lemke, depending on what genre you encountered him in.
https://dragonwarrior.bandcamp.com/track/shapely-hedgerows-of-the-dying-world
from the album Sweetheart of the Planetarium
What I'm listening to today: "Dual Monomachine IDM with new aftermarket +Drives from MachineStore", MIDERA
An enormous emotion. Thinky techno production with a human pop core and a touch of chiptune feel on the drums.
I think we're at the point where this particular type of 00s electronic sound is as old now, as the 70s-80s sounds Boards of Canada was evoking in the 90s were then. Meaning the progressive parts of Boards of Canada now *themselves* qualify for nostalgia.
What I'm listening to today: "OB6 Dub Techno", dc11
The musician says this emerged from setting up a new synthesizer, so what I imagine happened: They were trying to make that "chonkchonkchonk" noise from reggae, stumbled into an amazing-sounding semi-repeating pattern, went "I have to stop everything and find a way to make this a song" and built a life support system around it. Result:
Lovely little ambient meditation over a 128bpm heartbeat

What I'm listening to today: "New Instrument, new sound!", Fron Reilly
A short demo of a musical instrument created by this YouTuber/woodworker. It's… kind of a brilliant idea, actually, simultaneously shocking and in-retrospect obvious.
The video is 100 seconds of abstract noises that, if you'd played it for me without the video, I could tell you how to create with FFTs and DSP techniques but would *not* have believed was a recording of a completely acoustic device.
Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
What I'm listening to today: "The Terrorist", DJ Vadim & Motion Man
Motion Man is an Oakland rapper so far under the radar he has no Wikipedia page and at least one album of his I've listened to is not on Allmusic. If you know him it's probably from a guest spot he did on someone else's song, probably Kool Keith's, and you *remember* him because he absolutely steals every track he appears on.
Here, for a 1999 DJ Vadim single: Villainous pronouncements over supersaws
What I'm listening to today: "Concerto for Cello and Wind Orchestra" (Overture), Friedrich Gulda
I don't know much about Gulda, but apparently his career was marked by a desire to work in both classical music but also jazz (back in an era when jazz was still cutting edge and/or illegal). This 1980 piece feels like he was asked to compose a concerto but he just really, really wanted to make funk music. This slaps. This cellist is fucking *shredding*

What I'm listening to today: "Cwejman/Verbos Dub", Lucas Marchal
Last week I linked this guy doing synth unboxing experiments, here's what he sounds like doing a completed track. Dark, intent dub using the full spectrum of electronic production. Slipping silently under abandoned awnings and cloudy skies as your robotic pursuers nip constantly at your heels. Glance up and your gaze is met by the first touches of rain, and a dual-rotor helicopter blotting out the sun
What I'm listening to today: "Carrier",
Brandon McGhee
Extremely satisfying, semi-live electronic jam, feels like early Boards of Canada. Authentic-sounding/non-authentic analog synths on the Microfreak, lo-fi hip hop beats on the SP-404, and enormous Zoia reverb. What you see is what you get. Cool disintegration outro.
What I'm listening to today: "Cryptic Flow", ME9AM0N
I was given the prompt "Lo-fi hip hop to have anxiety to". Trap music for blown out speakers and those Japanese crosswalk machines that play the creepy childrens' song. Basically the kind of music you'd find on a cassette tape in a street gutter and when you listen to it it makes your stereo haunted.
Apparently they call themselves "Memphis cult".

What I'm listening to today: "YOULL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE", hkmori
Sad girl breakcore anthem. This is what it feels like to be queer in 2025. Too loud. Too loud. Everything is too loud
What I'm listening to today: "Building Steam With A Grain Of Salt", DJ Shadow
This album hit electronic music like a meteor. Apparently real heads already knew who DJ Shadow was and Dan the Automator had been working with him for years, but the first I'd heard of DJ Shadow was this song coming on Rice Radio 91.7 FM circa 1997 and I can draw you a diagram of exactly where on San Felipe St I was driving at the time because the moment is seared so clearly into my memory
What I'm listening to today: "Devil Stuff", Evil Nine
The first half of the 2000s saw this explosion of headphones-friendly "instrumental hip hop" whose existence I chalk up to DJ Shadow, if not as a direct inspiration then at least for convincing the record labels this stuff could sell. (Or maybe it was "Praise You".) Here's some fun big beat music made of metal samples. Yeah uh, my mom's boyfriend's kids are into this devil stuff from listening to Black Sabbath—
What I'm listening to today: "Heart's Desire", Awkward McLain
A Bandcamp beatmaker goes in for a bit of lo-fi hip hop and astral projection. Lovely crisp feeling.
The box is SP-404mk2, the most recent of a series of surprisingly incremental updates to J Dilla's favorite sampler, with the main effect AFAICT to add, like, USB and SD card support and the stuff that makes a device actually convenient to use in 2021.
What I'm listening to today: "The Mashed Up Mixes - Diplo of Hollertronix Meets RJD2"
During that 10 minutes of mainstream craze for "mashups", lo-fi hip hop virtuoso RJD2 invited a few artists to make DJ mixtapes out of his his back catalog. There's also a good one by "Haul & Mason", but this mix stuck in my head forever for a segment that strings together Cat Power, Slick Rick and Steve Reich, and later on what's still to me the definitive version of Outkast's "Roses"
What I'm listening to today: "Jellyfish", Kazumi Totaka (Nintendo)
There is a weird pattern in video games:
- The "water level", in any game, is usually everyone's least favorite, but
- The "water level" often has the coolest, most memorable music of the game.
Upthread I linked some "ocean vibes" music from Mario Artist for N64DD. That game has *three* ocean-themed songs, all bangers; here's my other fav. Charmingly cheesy hold-music jazz transitioning into trip-hop

What I'm listening to today: "What Does Your Soul Look Like?, Pt. 3", DJ Shadow
DJ Shadow followed up his major-label "debut" with an (incomplete) overview of his pre-"debut" indie releases. The information economy of the late 90s was less developed than that of today & getting into DJ Shadow in 1998 was a *little* confusing. Whatever! Here's the most rocking track from "preemptive strike". This *fucking* piano
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9VIDrDXJmc
PS: Shadow fans listen to the Mighty Atom Endtroducing mix
What I'm listening to today: "Durationplex", Sevish
This musician describes this track as an exercise in golden-ratio "maxxing"; the (xenharmonic) tuning scale is based on ϕ, the (polyrhythmic, constantly shifting) rhythms are based on ϕ, the FM timbres are based on ϕ. Experientially all you can tell is that the musician was doing something *very specific*, which you can grasp the shape of but not understand
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXMqkyVbFmI
( This track is also on Bandcamp: https://sevish.bandcamp.com/track/durationplex )
What I'm listening to today: "Small drops 2025-08-02", atnr
"Minimal Ambient". Giant reverb landscapes. Sitting on a dark hill, your hair mussed by gentle breeze, watching on the horizon the spaceships take off.
Made by combining Yamaha's modern DX7 revival, an original Game Boy, and three guitar pedals, one of which only exists to simulate the sound of cassette tape; someone probably *could* have made this exact music in 1989, in principle.
What I'm listening to today: "Fly to the Leaden Sky", Manabu Namiki
This is the stage 1 music from "Battle Garegga", an incredibly maximalist top-down shooter made in 1996 by former Compile staff. This is from the 2016 PS4/XBox rerelease, so the original onboard chip synthesis is replaced with slightly different instrumentation including crisper drum samples that really do improve this one track. A giant glowing idol to the 1980s, an exuberant tower of electric guitars

What I'm listening to today: "Speciation", Passepartout Duo
An old technique in ambient music is "phasing", where you play two loops of different lengths and let them go in and out of sync, creating different interesting patterns. It's a truism this requires electronics or tape, because two humans trying to play out-of-sync tempos would confuse each other. These two seem to be actually doing a live phase performance, dueling xylophone and gameboy-style squarewave loops
What I'm listening to today: "Souzou Suru", Haru Nemuri
High-energy Japanese rap with seriously weird production. My wife was listening to this and now I'm listening to it.
https://specific.bandcamp.com/track/souzou-suru
Every lyrics site swears up and down she's saying "Touch my Yes", not whatever it is you thought you heard.
( If you're enjoying yourself by the end of this song maybe listen to the next one on the album, which I like for its mid-90s-arcade-shooter-style sampled guitars… https://specific.bandcamp.com/track/bang )
from the album Shunka Ryougen
What I'm listening to today: "Finally", a773
This Danish musician uses the modular synth rack— usually the domain of weird noise ambient— for a purpose I've never seen it turned to: incredibly sincere Fusion Jazz. 80s fusion did use simple, early synths— and modular also tends toward the simple, because simple base tones respond best to layering in complications. So there's a lot of plausible 80s feel but with the strangest mystery sounds slipping through the background
What I'm listening to today: "Mood piece from one machine to another", Sonaura
Three minutes of degraded humming, drone piece on two cassette tape machines one of which seems to be having serious problems. The desert in late evening, a wisp of smoke moving in a way smoke shouldn't. A transmission you pick up briefly on the radio and then can't find again. Do you hear it? No, it's gone. As far as recordings of degraded humming sounds go I'd say this is a pretty good one
What I'm listening to today: "Level 0", Jim Andron
In the 90s there was a thing called "smooth jazz". I think boomers probably understood it, but I was never clear how it was different from "easy listening music".
This opener from 1992's famously odd "CD-I" version of Tetris is easy-listening music transcended to the point you can understand why people like the genre. Hold music pulling at your heartstrings, incredibly cheesy FM piano over shockingly hype bass work
What I'm listening to today: "Orange", Tristan Baldi
Chill tabla groove on the Dirtywave M8, a small handheld tracker. Big warm analog-style pads and lots of fun little sound design scribbles low in the mix. Sun shining through some sort of medium, like the fronds of trees or the smog of southern California
What I'm listening to today: "Mocktapus, Rocktapus, Unlocktapus Rex", Prince Charming featuring Philosophy Major
I'm … I'm really not sure what's happening here! A two-minute hip hop hallucination, two or three stations fighting for control of your FM radio, a bunch of musical instruments thrown in a dryer and they turned it on. Sometimes my brain sort of demagnetizes and thoughts swarm in all directions aimlessly like bees. What if that felt pleasant? That's this song
What I'm listening to today: "White Paws", Tristan Baldi
This piece hijacks the Subharmonicon, Moog's idiosyncratic semi-generative synth, to a purpose it's not typically used for: Acid, coaxing some surprisingly 303-like sounds out of it. Combine this with an unusually clicky configuration for the DFAM and you have an unusual, unpredictable, quiet but punchy little electronic jam.
What I'm listening to today: "While you were gone", a773
This is the fusion-jazz-on-modular-synths guy I linked last Sunday. This track has that "downtempo Sega" feel but leans into the weirdness/jazziness by being in 7/8 time. Most people listening to 5/4 can tell they're listening to "a weird time signature" but 7/8 sounds like "normal music" with a strange pressured feel you can't explain. If you sleep too long the fire goes out you dare to dream and we have no doubt
What I'm listening to today: "Biology 101", Dr. Octagon ft. "Chewbacca"
Removed track from Kool Keith's career-redefining "Dr. Octagonecologyst", present on the original indie release but not the Dreamworks version. The point where they apparently went "too far". Too weird, too creative, too surprising, too hard to follow, too "Kool Keith". A Dan the Automator groove slowed down to the breaking point, with a flood of incredibly dense sci-fi rap wordplay running over it.
What I'm listening to today: "Cosmic Interlude", LTJ Bukem
Chill jazzy electronic from the year 2000 with delicious stand-up bass sounds. Bukem spent the mid 90s staking a flag on what he called "Intelligent Jungle" (as far as I can tell he invented "the Dreamcast menu sound") but then as the 90s ended pushed past that and crafted a distinct brand of self-confident instrumental jazz with skeletal drum&bass patterns as support. Would feel at home on a Ninja Tune mixtape.
@clyde Well by dreamcast menu music I mean like, this era, when he was DJing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBKJehb69JM&list=PLl-QYltJXcDhEBCnF2i572Hl4j6zQj-hN&t=1513s
@mcc Not sure if I'd land on the same genre with this, but then I can't name the genre either so er, yeah.
Anyway, the two main things I associate this particular sound with are telephone waiting music and conversation music from the original Deus Ex. (with unusually Faltermeyer-esque bass)
edit: listened more of the soundtrack, and yeah okay yes "easy listening" is bang on, and the waiting music vibes have gotten even stronger
Fantastic sound. Thanks for sharing!
@mcc Nice! I thought I'd listened mostly to Endtroducing but looked it up and it seems Private Press is the one I've listened to the most.
I _loved_ Pushing Buttons Live. Still do, although by today's button pushing standards it's a bit silly.
