If you like funky, vocoder-infused music in the vein of Daft Punk's Random Access Memories, you'll probably dig Starcadian's tunes: https://starcadian.bandcamp.com/

My favourite tracks from Sunset Blood (his first album) are Ronnie (album mix), Sgt. Tagowski and Lovetop. Unfortunately, those songs aren't available on Youtube, so you'll have to listen to them on Bandcamp.

I've just purchased his latest album/EP (Saturdaze) and so far it sounds really awesome! I'll post my favourite tracks after I've listened to it some more.

If anyone is interested in a bit of post-apocalyptic imagery with their synth action, as well as some guitar shredding, then check this compilation out:

https://jonoftheshred.bandcamp.com/album/scythe

You get 2 tracks with the pre-order, the rest made available on the October 1st release date.

Really liked the little bit I heard. Will have to give it a full listen asap. That bandcamp page is all sorts of horrid design though. Yikes.

Really loving the 4 track EP from Dynatron. Good stuff, wish there was more! I like the Cold in July tracks, but it just feels kinda empty without the film.

Starcadian rocks. Love his first album. The sound scapes are terrific, I love that big booming distorted bass sound. Sgt Tagowski is incredible, even if it does eventually sound striking familiar to a riff from Thriller. Hope to see the new album on Google Play soon. Thanks for the heads up! edit: God damn 'Dance or Die' does rock!!!

edit:

Another new album to notify folks about. I see now a new release from Droid Bishop. Loving it so far.

Got directed here by the other Electonic music thread

So thanks to Hotline Miami, I'm now a fan of electronic/synth music. M.O.O.N., Perturbator, Light Club...and that's about it at the moment

Any other recommended artists? I prefer the most fast paced music, like MOON's Hydrogren and Perturbator's Future Club.

keep browsing this thread :D some tips in the OP and along few last pages.

To get you started, if you have Spotify: http://open.spotify.com/user/malakaei/playlist/5gZW4WSpROILFTQIx0qz76 keep listening this on shuffle and pick your favourites :)

i can recommend a lot from my Bandcamp too, https://bandcamp.com/noisepurge

Botnit, Lazerhawk, Dance with the Dead, Nightstop, Cluster Buster, Atrey, MegaDrive, Tokyo Rose, Muscle, Garth Knight for example are all fast paced.

Dance with the Dead and Carpenter Brut are certainly more fast pace

So I listened to Carpenter Brut's EP I and EP II for the first time and they blew me the fuck away. I didn't even know Carpenter Brut but holy shit!
