Connecting over a special interest like electronic music is tricky, because the music I enjoy is very intense and it happens so often, that just one an aspect, which feels โ€œwrongโ€ (often itโ€™s the vocals) can ruin a whole song for me.

Music has been a special interest of mine since I was a little girl, but I am not a musician, I listen, dance, make playlists and analyze it concerning the structure and the feelings the different elements create in me.

For about two months by now I have been in a hyperfocus on drum and bass music (Neurofunk, Techstep), especially the tracks of my favorite D&B artist. I bought his whole discography on Bandcamp and spent many hours a day listening and dancing to it, because I wanted to find out what makes a song work for me. Creating different playlists with his songs was like playing Lego for me, I had fun like toddler.

Now I want to find more music that works for me, but as I mentioned before, itโ€™s pretty difficult, so I would be very happy about recommendations. The following playlist contains songs from several artists I currently like most, if some of them resonate with you, we might have a similar taste.

Boosts for visibility would be great. Thank you in advance.

alien girl - Playlist by Kaja

Bandcamp
@KaCi I completely get this. I love music, but particular sets of sounds and instruments really click with my head. I love the interaction betweeb guitars and strings (violins etc), but not in their natural setting. Best example is in 'How to disappear completely into strings' by Radiohead, but only on a special album with a 3rd disk with special versions. Something in it does something satisfying to my brain. It is hard to find in much of music, usually I get glimpses and snippets here and there.
I also like discographies to explore, and got a shoegazey indy set from a label called Fox Foods on bandcamp.
Ill try and have a listen to your playlist

@Aspiedan @KaCi Same here. It's super difficult for people to predict whether I would like a song or not, and I think I have similar things going on.

For me it may be repetitiveness, and slow build-up. I like songs that are repetitive, but only if something in them is leading somewhere. I think. Examples: some of Underworld's songs ("Two Months Off" and "Dark & Long (Dark Train remastered 2014)" being current favourites), Steve Reich's "Music for 18 Musicians", ...

I was following a lady back on twitter who posted a lot of music, and who had a taste that was _very_ compatible. Miss that.
