#one issue that arose is whether some tracks were too pop-ish or not

So earlier (in February maybe) @headgehug asked me for electro music recs, and here they are, under the cut (note: "electro" is very broadly envisioned here). What's in purple is what I'd definitely recommend. It's messy (you know me) hahaha

Pushing On - Boxed In My version on Spotify is longer but the gist is kept. If you like it I can also recommend Unable, London Lights, Pitiless,

If you're interested in more swingier stuff, Listen - Nekta is a nice one. If you like it, I also recommend Wanna Fete (Wanne Get Remix). Lemon Firebrigade,

Squeeze Me - Kraak & Smaak is more about the beats, maybe with a hip-hop feel? I'm not very well-versed in that side of music terminology. Check out Bentley's Gonna Sort You Out too! Hands of Time also by Kraak & Smaak is "sadder" but still has those delicious beats. See also The Night Terrors (Saint Etienne Remix).

Algorytme - Lindstrøm is the kind of repetitive, progressive stuff you listen while hyperfocusing on your work. With the same vibes, you've got Still Going Theme, Exploitation, Pacific 707, Small Hundred, Kiss You on the Cheek (King of Town Remix), Jumbo, Alpha and Omega, Neverless (Original Mix),

The next ones are more pop-ish and often well-known I guess? I Follow RIvers (The Magicians Remix), I Like That (Original Mix), Ghosts 'n Stuff, Home, Sometimes, We Can't Fly, Raw Vis Vision, Random Firl, Satisfaction, Fun For Me, Memories, No One in this World & Rollin'on Chrome (Wild Motherf*cker Dub) (btw I recommend the Hotel Costes compilation), Calabria,

For old-school vibes, check out Giant - The The, Inspector Norse, Windowlicker, One Club Town, Jam Fan (Chanel Show Version), My Future Girlfriend,

Shenzen V - Bon Voyage Organisation is one of my favourites. For more French touch, check out Randy, Just Need Your Love, Cause I Got a Chance, Fou (Poolside Remix), Stand on the World (Mima Remix), Civilization, Short Circuit,

Criss Cross - Shy Child is also a favorite of mine, I find the whole path and the climax absolutely exquisite. Similar: Breathe Deeper,

Reconstruct - Photay has very chill vibes with shoegaze attributes. Check out also Everybody's Got To Learn Sometimes, Say It, Sync, Blue Skies in Your Eyes, Broken Drum,

On another vibe entirely, and yet very similar to the last one in some way, Just Gazin' is much more "generous" (happy?) but still, slight shoegaze vibes remain. Also check out A Tune For Jack, Grey Lanes, Fredag, Isi, I'm Doing Fine,

Boards of Canada's famous Roygbiv is a classic, very accessible yet still "them". Happy yet melancholic. A very generous sound. 69 Police by David Holmes has similar vibes, that guy notably worked on the Ocean's 11-13 movies. Solar Flight Opus 1 by Mandré is an oldie but it's in the same vibe as Roygbiv. See also Infinite Realm of Incomprehensible Suffering by Clown Core.

Happy stuff: Autumn - Lunarbeam, Fool, Feelin' Good, Bonjour Mademoiselle Humanoïde, New Balance, Give It Away, Montreal, Jo,

Kinda heavy but generous sound: Head and Shoulders - Leftfield

Here We Go/Quasar (Hybrid Remix) deserves a mention as well here. I don't know how this kind of rock-ish electro-ish orchestra hybrid has become "car media music", but in any case, it works.

Down there are not necessary electro tracks, but more jazzy stuff that I still wanted to put there. Nordpool Orchestra's reprise of Radiohead's 15 Step, David Holmes's Lazy, The Bad Plus's Flim, Kamasi Washington's Truth.
