Hello recommendation thread.

I'd like to find some progressive house/electronic tracks in a similar vein to Keinemusik - Muye and DJ Seinfeld - U Hold Me Without Touch.

Basically a nice piano loop over some driving bass.

I mostly use last.fm and spotify. Both mainly by going down related artist rabbit holes. lastfm recommendations is now the home page when you're logged in. spotify builds playlists of recommended songs based on what you listen to and i've found tons of stuff that way too.

It's okay if you have any questions.


The big problem with automated recommendations is that they tend to push you towards very popular things in whatever category you're dealing with. When it comes to discovering new music that not a lot of people are already listening to, people still have the edge. This is a very hard problem to solve and will probably be with us for a while.

Does last.fm still do recommendations on the artist level, or can they also make more specific recommendations based on the songs you listen to?

You should check out Royce’s project with DJ Premier if you haven’t already. They have two albums called PRhyme and PRhyme 2 and they are both excellent. Curious what projects of Royce’s that you have listened to.

If you like that stuff, I would highly recommend going back and listening to Moment of Truth LP by Gang Starr feat. DJ Premier and Guru. It came out a long time ago but it still holds up really well.

Have you checked out any P-funk? Its pretty similar to those videos but isn't exactly a modern sound. Maybe check out bands like Zapp, Parliament, and Funkadelic. Here is an example that has a pretty wicked bassline.

Nahh, Zapp's style honestly relatively restrained, where moving forward from Zapp you get Dam-Funk today. I want funk bass that is just balls out stupid fun that feels like it's not held to much structure. To make an analogy to another genre, if More Bounce To The Ounce is Slow Ride by Foghat, then what I'm looking for would correspond to Pride and Joy by Stevie Ray Vaughan. I dunno if that makes it more or less clear but that's how it is in my mind. Slow Ride is a very structured song where Pride and Joy just feels like SRV is going out there having fun and expressing the happiest freedom that he can.

Lol at suggesting vulfpeck. That is just straight up aping Bootsy Collins, you've got about 30 albums worth of Parliament, Funkadelic and Bootsy's Rubber Band stuff if you're in to that. Also maybe check out the Brothers Johnson or Larry Graham/Graham Central Station.

Ya know what? Taking a listen at this and the other stuff you've mentioned, and now thinking about it more, I'm startin to think that the reason Bootsy and the rest didn't appeal to me as much is just because the recordings I'm listening to are set up for the bass to be de-emphasized relative to vocals and guitar and stuff. Maybe I can just take that stuff and use a heavy bass equalization??? Cause a lot of the time if you listen to just the bass, the style is there, it's just that the instrument isn't as prominent as I'd like.

sounds like you're looking for less tight funk and more just jazzier, freer funk

some sly meets that, some bar-kays, some jamiroquai, some brass construction, definitely some kool and some brothers johnson, some love unlimited, maybe 'don't cost you nothin'' by ashford and simpson but it could be too 'constrained' like you said, maybe some chic, bits and pieces of some commodores, curtis mayfield gets a little jammy at times, edwin birdsong at times, fatback band, some roy ayers

i don't know, you're after the funk i avoid, so hard to really say. i mean, i love all those artists listed up there, but they all delved into that

I'd say that's a good approximation and it might just be that it's a sound that people to get into, but it's not really something you can blow out with every song cause then it's just like a bassist and their band. But yeah, Jamiroquai definitely has some of it with Butterfly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKYZr0xlkig for example. I find it's hard to get though without it leaning into feeling like it's too disco with that 4 on the floor beat or not upbeat/happy enough, like Butterfly. But yea what you all listed is some good poo poo and a decent amount I hadn't remembered and some I hadn't heard of.

many years ago i ate mushrooms and had an epic time listening to Heatwave and Lakeside LPs i bought at a hood thrift store (and Stardrive, too, but that's a different recommendation). also, if you haven't listened to Slave, you definitely should.
