komytea
I recently discovered those producers through the latest renaissance Zabiela mix and I really love their sound. I would call it dark-progressive-tech-minimal… or something. 
Do you know of any other labels/artists that have this kind of vibe?
I’m into progressive, but I’m tired of everyone using always the same pads, chords, structures, arpeggiators…
Thanks
The anjunadeep label is quite nice. If you like Komytea, you will probably enjoy Michael Cassette (I believe either komytea is a part of the collab group michael cassette, or the other way around, cant remember). I’ve loved their tracks for a good bit.
check out 16bit Lolitas and Jaytech from the same label
Also, i guess I kinda think they are like, 80’s sci fi production, but with modern technique and flow.
I have some few selected tracks of that label because most of the time the music they release is too much melodic trancey for my taste.
Thanks for the recommendations. I’ll check those!
yeah, its definitely melodic house. its spawned off of anjunabeats, so it makes sense that they are very trance like. Their website has a nice preview function if I remember correctly.
What songs did you like by komytea, cause their sound is kinda wide (from melodic to and back)
I like “afganistan” the most
Michael cassette.
You will see a lot of similar themes in their music (bass pads), but I find cassette is a bit more uplifting/not as discordant at times. Its not super melodic though.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I don’t like melodic btw…
Michael Cassette sounds way too much like Dinka to me.
Any more suggestions?
Yeah, I figured that out. Thats why i said its uplifting, but it still kinda stays away from melodic.
Idk, I appreciate both styles. I genuinly like melodies, but sometimes I feel like trance and melodic house play in far too major keys. We need more minor trance.
Yeah I agree. In fact I prefer the more dark minimalistic style over the major I-IV-V typical style.
kind of completely different than komytea, but this was one of my favorite tracks of 2009
not minimalistic at all sorry hahaha. but it was a little dark.
If you want a suggestion I think it would be to stop playing/listening to progressive house. It has been exactly the same for more than a decade now. Unless you are a New Jersey club douche in a vertical striped shirt with three buttons undone there is absolutely no reason that all these records shouldn’t be turned into frisbees, ashtrays, or decorative lawn ornaments.
whoa man. jeez. Whats your problem? I mean, I understand you might not like the genre, but overall, its not overly filled with cheese. We are not talking about euro dance, Hard Dance, or Happy Hardcore here man. What gives?
Something I stumbled upon while looking at Fever Ray remixes. Pretty cool, dunno if this artist has anything else good.
Definitly a bit more techy. kind is like, melodic minimal haha. what a contradiction. Again, nice bass pads, and overall pretty decent. Uses melody, but thats not the whole point of the song, definitely more atmospheric.
Really you could say that about 90% of music nowadays, especially about EDM.
The thing is there’s a 10% worth listening out there, but it takes work to find it. This is what this post is about.
Or you can complain and keep on thinking about the past.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. I enjoy progressive, just maybe 10% of it lol. Im a picky bastard, and theres way too much shit out there that redundant/over the top/boring.
