    I guess Igorrr and Naked City are some of the most, I don’t know if exactly obscure, but hard to listen to, for sure.

      Made a comment myself and then found yours, I also mentioned Naked City.For some reason I really like them, it could just be my brand of madness.

        Well John Zorn is a true innovator and knew how to mix all of the vanguardism stuff with the punk/grindcore scene, it’s something completely natural if you like to listen to music that breaks boundaries.

          I do enjoy his shenanigans, at least the (by his standards) more approachable stuff.

          I remember asking about the concert after my cousin saw Zorn for a forth time, ages ago and he just said “Well, I’m not sure it’s really music anymore”.

    death’s dynamic shroud. I don’t do vaporwave much anymore, but I can sit there and listen to a dds.wmv tape for an entire week on repeat. Personal recommendations are the “Evangelis” tape, and the “I’ll Try Living Like This” album.

      I’ve yet to come across someone else who also likes them, that’s awesome! I really like “I’ll Try Living Like This”.

    Whitewoods, also known as Bug Your Parents.

    Made somewhat popular by Pyrocynical from his use of their song Beachwalk in his outro, along with Whitewoods revolutionizing Vaporwave by basically founding the genre. However many of their songs are extremely obscure and I assume that absolutely no one knows who they are.

    Beachwalk: https://youtu.be/oF9yHO-UUws

    12 million views, so definitely a hit, but they are overall very small and obscure in the grander scheme of things.

    It’s tough to say whether they are obscure or not, they are “obscure” in the West but I believe all these artists are moderately well-known in Eastern Europe: I love Воровайкии, Uamee (Hardbass) and Молчат Дома, to be fair I think Molchat Doma is kinda known in the West also bc of Sudno memes.

      Comrade, I am so happy that you enjoy Hardbass. In the west, the whole genre may seem obscure, however, it was (maybe is) popular in UK (called Scouse House, maybe not exactly Hardbass but very similar), it is very popular still in Spain and Basque Country, still known in Poland (sadly, less and less, but we have good DJs like Clubbasse or Gopnik McByat), they are some good DJs from France. There are excellent DJs active, but the best club player for me is Sonic Mine from Sankt Petersburg, now sadly not active much. When I will have some spare time, I will upload somewhere his podcasts which I downloaded from some obscure Russian website, which is down now probably.

        Awesome! I liked Gopnik McBlyat but I thought the name was a tad on the nose lol. It’s like if an American artist was named “Hipster O’Yankee” so I figured they weren’t actually from Eastern Europe, I’m glad to be wrong about that one 😂

          Actually, you are not far from truth. The word “Gopnik” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gopnik is not in use in Poland, we have a similar notion of “dresiarz” (one who wear only tracksuit, likes to beat people), but not many Polish people even know the word “Gopnik”. Poland is a strange country, which is not fully Eastern, but also not fully western, even if many politicians want it. There is artist from Spain, as I remember, called Sukahard, while “suka” is popular word in Slavic languages, meaning “removed”, and Spanish artists also frequently borrow the gopnik culture elements. BTW, this is one of the best, in my subjective taste, and most hardcore sets of Gopnik McBlyat, unless you already know it: https://m.soundcloud.com/tri-poloski-records/gopnik-mcblyat-at-tri-poloski-utrecht-04-02-23

              I would be very grateful, I make a collection of good Hardbass music, as it would be a genre on extinction 😁 the collection is ony disc, maybe when I finally have some spare time, I will share it in some way publicly

    That’s a hard one because the majority of my music taste is pretty obscure, I am a huge music nerd. Here are a couple:

    Comus - First Utterance fucking dope dark/psych/acoustic folky band from the early 70’s. Think like, evil Jethro Tull. One of my favorite albums, highly recommend

    Elizabeth Color Wheel - Nocebo Seen this band 3 times and they always make me cry, so good. Heavy noisy wall of sound chaotic melodic hardcoreish goodness. If you like My Bloody Valentine this might be up your alley, they are heavier.

    Pinnochio - S/T Fast, fun, femme vocal punk rock that makes you wanna pogo
