favorite bandcamp releases ?

A few months ago I started a new job in person (after 3 years of working from home). Commute is about an hour each way until my current lease ends and I can move closer to workplace, so I been listening to lots of musics on the drive.

I usually use spotify but have been getting back into bandcamp. I have not had my ear to the ground so to speak when it comes to music from independent labels, so wanted to see if anyone could recommend me good stuff to get.

So far my bandcamp is mostly LPs and EPs from Skee Mask, Patricia, and Cygnus (have been falling in love with that Cygnus album The Oasis, especially that song The Xenon Bridge, so good!)

Anyway, wanted to ask for any albums or LPs from the last decade or so that you could not live without, that you play often, that sound good in the car, etc. I already have Hip Hop covered from my other streaming services, so mostly interested in electronic. As I mentioned Patricia and Cygnus, I really love music made with hardware that has old school electro vibes and similar kinds of stuff. idm kinda stuff that references different genres from the history of electronic music, like Skee Mask and the Ilian Tape label, is stuff I like too. I despise the roland 303 in most cases, so not really into acid. I also love ambient, though.

Any artists, labels, or album recommendations would be most welcome, especially stuff that is not already on the big streaming services.

Try the label Hypnus and Aedi Records. Everything by Polygonia. Space Drum Meditation, Azu Tiwaline

Ulver, yuku, planet mu, mord.

Many more, bandcamp is amazing

The infamous Dave Monolith's tapes are on bandcamp now as well, I especially love the "Custom Groove Set" one.

I don't use Bandcamp as much as I should, I don't like buying digitals so only use it when stuff is not available on streaming services (I know I should support the artists more tho)

Bandcamp is donating its cut of sales today to MusiCares which aids relief for those damaged during the recent extensive California wildfires. it’s a good day to buy some music there

just bought this: https://baroquesunburst.bandcamp.com/album/funzione-ep-incl-valentino-mora-notte-infinita-remixes-bsun011

I love this so much.  Feels like standing on a rave in the middle of the forest 

this one is also really nice:

https://multicastdynamics.bandcamp.com/album/continental-ruins

nice trippy ambient flic 

I really miss Occult Research, their tapes were always so well made and each release fits on there in its own weird way. Vytear, Bewwip, Fah, Monolog X, Mopfunk.. All great dad idm that is largely absent nowadays I think. Bought the Trackermatte one second hand and it came with a little hand drawn glyph that said "Thanks Andrew!" and I will keep this forever, cheers Andrew, your loss, I now have your magic protection seal mwahaha..
