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 “wrong” (often it’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, it’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.

@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

Yes, concerning sensory avoidance most autistic people feel similar about noise (fuck leaf blowers), but when it comes to sensory seeking, it becomes very obvious how different we are. I suspect that many of the people who like drum and bass are AuDHD, because we seek complexity and intensity to a greater level than neurotypical people imo.

I like Radiohead, so I would be interested in listening to the specific version of the song you like (maybe it's available on YouTube) and I would like to listen to the indie set you bought on Bandcamp.
