This has about four songs in it and all of them are incredibly funky and cheesy synth-organ easy listening music from the 70's

All of them are awesome and the 'album' it's on is just stock music, any suggestions to similar music?

I really like "oldschool dubstep" that has a strong and complex drum pattern. I loving love phaeleh but he doesn't make much and his next album is coming out in 2013 (supposedly), and most of the similar stuff i've found are just one-off tracks made by artists who mostly make 'filthier' dubstep that isnt what i'm looking for

Burial is everyone's go-to when they hear 'oldschool dubstep' and while it's really good and I definitely love his music - it's not what I'm looking for, ya know?

I want to listen to more upbeat/uptempo ... I don't really know the genre, just something that sounds like this: Etro Anime - Danger. I guess it's somewhere in the lounge-trance-triphop continuum, but even something jazzier would be welcome. Basically I want the energetic tempo cut with the mellow atmosphere.

edit malformed tags

It's more dnb than anything but it's pretty mellow. Maybe liquid funk? I haven't been on a dnb kick in a long time so I can't remember what constitutes liquid funk.

Give Young Ax a listen, he strays into breakcore a lot though but he's also got lots of jazz samples and such

There's toooons of really relaxing and upbeat dnb though

I don't know exactly how to describe this, but I want stuff like Midnight City, Dance Yrself Clean or Bowie's Heroes, that sound like they should be played when you're driving at 2AM and it's perfectly dark and starry and maybe there's a little neon in the distance and you're completely at peace with the world. Not sparse, but really full sounding and almost droning, with layers. (edit: like, music that almost brings you to tears because it's emotional and awesome and...)

Pan Electric I have no idea how to describe but it's exactly what you wanted if a bit soft. Listen to it, there's buildup to a crazy craaaaazy awesome rest of the song.

El Ten Eleven is an atmospheric instrumental rock duo but they are the loving masters of emotional and awesome and being completely at peace with the world and aaaa el ten eleven owns

Poolside is weird disco stuff and kiiiinda got that vibe. I listen to them all the time coming home from work at 2am with neon in the distance and i'm like ":drat: that 303 is loving sweet". and it is. Everybody needs a 303, not an 808.

I would like some dubstep that isn't terrible.

Well that's a pretty hard to please statement but I too hate most dubstep but love a wee little bit of it. And i'm sorry about the vocal sample bit but it's already reached full dubstep penetration

This is actually a really good remix of an awful song so bear with me

Datsik makes poo poo but this is actually pretty good

I love Com Truise, and I know that they're pretty unique. I mostly love the way that it's exactly the type of music you want to listen to while sitting in a comfy chair with the lights off and staring at the VFD equalizer on your old stereo just bumping along to the music as all of the various led's in your house just blink on and off, doing they own thing. It's got that rough and untamed analog sound but it's also incredibly relaxing and warm sounding and just makes you think of a time that never really existed but its pretty swell to just sit there and enjoy it.

Bliss on Cruel Summer is pretty different but also loving incredible in the same way that Com Truise is incredible and it's probably the best song on the album that's nothing like it at all.

It's got the sweet eagle screeches and sweeping synth lines and the light chimes that come in from behind and aaaa it's just awesome

Sounds like Hudson Mohawke produced this track, maybe check some of his stuff out? It's not nearly as chill or 80's synth-y as Com Truise but the track you linked is definitely Hudson Mohawke

And actually, I'd like to hear more stuff like Hudson Mohawke or Rustie

e-
Some Hudson Mohawke

Those aren't really what i'm looking for but they're loving awesome regardless, not a big fan of the second and third hudson mohawke tracks though. I like how a lot of rustie's tracks remind me of choppy 90's midi stuff. Kind of like James Ferraro except something you can actually listen to.

E: A little bit of rusko too

While we're talking about chiptunes, I've always loved video game music but i pretty much intensely dislike chiptunes. Most of the time it just seems that the artist uses the chiptunes as a lovely gimmick for mediocre music. Like they sat down and thought they were going to make something that is chiptunes and they shoehorn themselves into the genre instead of making something original that doesn't sound like ill fitting noises awkwardly slapped on top of overused chiptune sounds.

The only chiptunes i've really liked is some stuff by big giant circles and it's still really hit or miss. I love the first half of Flicker but the second half it turns into an anticlimactic and badly done drum thing. You Can Have Mine is pretty good though. They don't make me think that it's a cheap cargo-culting of NES music like most chiptunes does.

Pretty much, is there any chiptunes that isn't a gimmick?

Does anyone have suggestions for dense/layered ambient? The kind of stuff where there's just a million layers if you care to look for it, but still retains the beatless, background-if-you-want, glacial qualities of ambient?

I unironically love I am sitting in a room, and Brian Eno's ambient works, and the Aphex Twin ambient albums (although I favor the 2nd to the 1st, putting me in the minority). So I'd like something in that wheelhouse, but just a little busier, while still being firmly ambient (ie - not like, The Orb's first album or Person Pitch or something)

I read dense, layered ambient and immediately thought of gas. I've never really gotten into ambient but pop is a loving incredible album

A little bit late on this, but I think I'm generally in the same boat as you, as far as enjoying video game music but meeting most chiptune with distaste. The one artist that was different from me was an0va. He makes chiptune music with the sensibilities of math rock, one of my favorite styles. There still is a very corny and gimmicky sound I suppose, but if you want your bleeps and bloops to happen in odd time signatures this is the project to go to.

http://an0va.bandcamp.com/album/the-teaching-machine

This is pretty neat. I'm not really catching much math rock from it, but it's at least composed with more finesse than "look at castlevania music, try to copy it as much as possible."

lovely, dirty, party rappers. I dunno. I loving love these tracks but their respective artists don't really do much like them. I already know about spank rock and he's pretty rad. Also Kid Sister is awful and a lot of the 'similar artists' aren't really all that similar. Lilly allen is too english and MIA is too... MIA.
