    Too add some Indian indie flavor to the mix, MALFNKTION is relatively obscure, the guy samples dialogues from old Bollywood movies to make funky electronic tracks.

    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

    Hmm, not sure how obscure some of these are but excluding super well known artists, I still have a huge list of oddball stuff, here’s just some of them:

    Atari Teenage Riot (and Alec Empire’s solo stuff, in spite of his politics), Ayria, Black Dresses (and both girls’ solo work) The Birthday Massacre, Chiasm, Corlyx, Darling Violetta, Das Präparat, Dead When I found her, Electric Six (and Dick’s solo material), Gost, Information Society (specifically Don’t Be Afraid), Kælan Mikla, The Mad Capsule Markets (and Kyono’s subsequent solo stuff - Wagdug Futuristic Unity and KYONO), Night Club, Patriarchy, Perturbator, Rabbit Junk, The Unquiet Void, Velvet Acid Christ.

    As you can see it’s mostly dark, synthy, industrial stuff, sometimes very loud punky things like ATR or MCM, and E6 as a weird lighthearted rock band cause those guys just rock.

    Oh and since I completely failed to answer the question, probably the most obscure artist I listen to regularly would be May Leitz, who does uh… a weird mix of rock, metal, indie, electronic… stuff. She also is a youtuber and a novelist.

    I listen to a lot of metal and some of the genres and bands I like are kind of obscure to people who aren’t familiar with the genre. I really like Mongolian folk metal (i.e., Nine Treasures) but Vvilderness released a great album I basically listen to on repeat lol

    I also like Lana Del Rey though.

    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.
