Essential IDM/experimental albums and artists?

I'm looking to expand my musical horizons and am looking for "Gantz Graf" level shit. "Winter in the belly of the Snake" level shit. "Windowlicker EP" level shit. I know most of the big obvious names but i would be interested in hearing lesser praised artists even if they are considerably successful. I feel like i don't know enough about the genre and really want to dive in and get wet, but i can't find the hole, you know what i mean?

Hmu with your recommendations. Please leave all Aphex, Vsnares, SP, U-Ziq, Autechre, Cex aside.

Also, maybe some really cheesy but technical and CLEAN breakbeat/core artists that focus on just holding the beat down instead of technicality.

BEN FROST - by the throat

KAYNE WEST - Yeezus

It sounds like you're interested in cleanly produced technical fuckery. I'd say off the top of my head, Tipper.

i thought part of what defined breakbeat was being made with actual breaks... no? sounds like squarepusher doing bro step like his last album

I would recommend Current Value if you are into Crossbreed/Dark Cut up Drum and bass, his stuff is mental
