    Someone else gave me this and I was headbanging my way through it until I saw your post. Cause you’re pretty much my favorite poster on here. I knew I had to take a listen. Thank you!

    I love the underwater feel of the fourth track. Reminds me of a time and place far gone. I am glad people are still making music like this. It’s really clean and quite simple. Got something good from the Ambience genre?

      That is a bit too rough for my liking, the vocals seem too messy on my quick listen :p but thanks, nice to know someone is checking out some of my links xD

      Yeh this is a nice little EP of theirs and definitely worth checking out some of their other stuff if you like this sound. They also do a regular spot on Swu.FM which can be found on SoundCloud which is always a nice mix of sort of dubstep adjacent sounds and interesting stuff!

      If you liked the sound of this EP especially then check out this label D-BLK, the link is to probably my favourite release of theirs by Shu but the rest of the label holds a similar vibe.

      Ambience isn’t really something I know a lot of so can’t make many great suggestions, there is an “atmospheric bass” community but the primary poster hasn’t been active more recently and that is mostly synth / vapor type tracks.

      My kind of “ambience” is I will put something like “Emancipator” on or the absolute GOAT “Lorn”, I dunno if you’d describe it as “ambient” but it has a shit load of its own ambience and if you don’t know Lorn I strongly suggest giving him a go chefs kiss

        Oh yeah, no I hear you. It took me quite some time to get behind metal-y music. I didn’t grow up listening to it, and no one I knew did either. My partner loves the stuff, and our first show was hilariously a metal band that I mistook for a pop band. My gal is such a bubbly girly-girl about most things, I figured she was just about that kind of scene. Little did I know, when we showed up everyone was dressed up some kind of way. There were two mosh pits going at the same time. I got smashed in, and I am the size of a pin. I just kind of went with it, because what else do you do in these moments? I learned to like the music, because I recognized the passion in it. It’s not the first on the shelf I reach for, but I can get with it. Only part of this is the cap at the end, god it was some kind awful to me.

        I love electronic music, and since so much of what you’ve put on here that I’ve heard is such I just assumed you might have some chill-out ambient like tunes in your back pocket. Something like this DIM album, which really puts my brain in such a soft and calm space. There’s times when I like energetic tunes, but I really love a good chillout tune and they’re a rarer breed I think.

        Kind of like humans, as it’s hard to find people who are calm spirits. But when you do, hot damn, they’re like a living chill pill. Didn’t know a damn thing about Swu, but I’ll be giving it a listen now. Thank you! I actually don’t listen to Lorn like that but I think I should more since you recommend him. I think Acid Rain (was that the name?) has one of the best music videos I have ever seen. I love the idea of this gal waking up post-crash and being absolutely stupefied. The music captures this beautiful crunchy mystique and pain so perfectly. I used to listen to Arca quite a bit, pre-transition (I like her post-transition music, but I don’t listen to it like that just cause I don’t listen to music as much as I used to as a whole). Her pre-transition tunes are so full of this empty pain, which I mean - look at the situation. I think both make great horror movie tunes!

        Speaking of vaporwave, I think this gloomy miss is part of the pack. Not entirely sure, as it’s been a min since I’ve studied music, but I really love this jam. It’s good for a solid skulk.

        On D-BLK012, that Terranigma jam is so juicy! I love that fat-bassline, that chunky one. It’s why I ended up falling in love with this jam a buddy tossed me years ago. It’s a joke of mine that has to be the brown note, because it’s about as low as any bass I know and it’s chunky af.

        I gotta run, but thank you so much for the jams and keep posting them I’ll give em a listen!
