Keyword artist , or band/group name. I’m not looking for a genre, I want to search artists. Tell me about someone you like listening to.

Would appreciate if it’s Not symphonic/orchestral movie/videogame OST. I know there is a lot of really good music in this category but I’m trying to avoid recommendations like Hans Zimmerman or Jeremy Soule or Enya etc., since they are either really well known or fall into the orchestral and/or “epic music score” I’m not looking for.

It’s OK if some tracks have vocals or even some lyrics/voice samples but I prefer to keep them at a minimum.

Any suggestions? TIA

      Haha great questions. My main objective was to avoid getting classical music recommended, which is not what I’m looking for (although I like a lot of it too).

      I like some Deadmau5, though I’m not a great fan. I do love EDM, Eric Prydz is probably my favourite artist in that very large umbrella of music, and I follow Defected Records if that tells you anything. I tend to prefer house over other subgenres and dubstep is probably my least liked subgenre. If you got any other suggestions, go ahead!
