Music you recognize immediately. Not because you know them but because their style is very recognizable. For me, besides a couple odd bands there’s: Tool. I mean their unique sound and such is very easy to pick out.
Electronic wise I would probably say Gantz. His percussion is just so aggressive in the majority of songs I’ve listened to by him and it’s amazing.
In terms of electronic stuff, I recognize these artists by various things, whether its a drum sample they always use or a texture threir tunes tend to have: Barely Alive, Zomboy, Kill The Noise, Skrillex, Kill The Noise, Feed Me, Koan Sound, Wolfgang Gartner, Snails (lol), Laxx.
then again, this is a lot fo what I listen to so maybe its not as distinct/obvious as I think.
As for deeper stuff, I’m not so sure. I think Kromestar has a pretty distinct overall sound.
Aphex note choice and chord structure is immediately recognizable
just blaze - soul vocals pitched up a third and super gated drums (unless its one of kanyes old beats where he sounds exactly like a very good attempt at one of just blazes poorer beats
swiss beats - for his keyboard sound
premo - for the way it loops (dont need to hear another in this lifetime tho)
havoc -drum groove + drum sound + the way it loops
yes he has a particular way with melodies. even on the tracks/projects where he pretends to be someone else it’s obviously him from melodic and chordal structure (e.g. Bradley Strider, The Tuss)
his first one called - boku something something is great and similar to math beats
then there’s
i wil eat your children too
that is kind of breakcore
and theres
i love u (or something close to that)
which is a completely chilled affair where he recorded himself playing flutes and stuff (its gorgeous)
Reso because of his atmospheric drum and bass songs like Taiga. Feel like i could recognize those beautiful sounds anywhere but who knows. There might be more artists very similar to him. I havent heard them yet.
I know Crywolf when i hear him. Mixture of dubstep and vocals about love.
forgot to mention i checked out i love u, which you’re right is absolutely gorgeous stuff, much different. haven’t been in a breakcore mood for a while but i’ll check out i will eat your children too
I love how Gantz is different. with his tunes his bringing out some of the Istanbul culture(sound) into his tunes, which is amazing to know he’s very proud about his culture.
