r/darkwave

Hey,

I’m looking for recommendations for music similar to this kind of vibe:

Mareux

Sidewalks and Skeletons

Molchat Doma

Crystal Castles

Pastel Ghost

Moonvampire

Graur / Graurstar

I really like dark, atmospheric and melancholic electronic music with slow to mid-tempo beats.

If you know anything similar, I’d appreciate any recommendations.

As I've stated before on here I draw upon many sonic influences when crafting but don't think too much about genre categorization. Lmk what you think...

Los Angeles based dark synthpop trio BlakLight release 'The Haunting of Us (Fictional Remix)' on July 3rd.

Bare with me on this. I have/had zero clue about this genre of music until a few days ago.

Stumbled across Unstoppable Darkness compilation on YouTube by Nyra Vale. Have not stopped listening since I found the compilation. My question is: is this AI, or is she a real artist? Not that it really matters, I’ll still listen, but Iam curious.

Hi everyone! I don’t use AI in my music and I never will. Even though I’m into cyberpunk and sci-fi (kind of ironic, I know), I prefer to keep my music real.

I just wanted to share my track “Witchcraft” with you, made out of pure passion.

Hope you enjoy it, thanks for listening :)

Been building these for a while. The base tracks are dark progressive and zenonesque such ETN, Evil Oil Man, Grouch, Dirty Hippie, Akudra and others. Basically underground psychedelic trance at its most atmospheric and hypnotic.

​

The layers come from across extreme and dark music: Behemoth, Rotting Christ, Batushka, Cult of Fire, Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth on the metal side and Unter Null, God Module from industrial/EBM. Also, the amazing cover of Another Brick In The Was by Korn, which is a personal favorite.

​

Each one was built individually, looking for the actual connection between the two worlds and ideal arrangement suitability, not just for the contrast. My hypothesis is that both are built in the same darkness, intensity, tension...

​

14 bootlegs assembled into a 3-hour set. 6 tracks run clean as

breathing room. No tracklist because the pairings are the work, I didn't want this to be a searchable playlist.

​

If you catch what's inside a track before you know what it is, that's the version I was going for.
