Recommendations for Noise

[WhiteLines]

I have not been keeping up on what new happenings have gone on in the last ten years in the umbrella of industrial-ish music, due to lack of having internet and other things that kept me occupied.

Anyhow after spending many years listening to the same things as i did in 1999, i have ventured back out into the public to refreshen my palette and wondered what you (anyone) would suggest in the area of industrial, rythmic noise and/or power electronics type of artists to take a listen to... or any other nice harsh shit i may have missed out on.

I realize a bit has changed in what industrial music is since then, but i also dig some harsh/rythmic noise, glitch-core type stuff, and just staight up noise as well.

So whats new in noise? what is strange and out there nowadays? what are your suggestions, help bring me into the 21st century...

[phee]

Noise... well if you want PURE noise I would suggest Merzbow (thats not the kind of thing that you will ever hear in a club though as it is 105% NOT dance music)

If you are talking more Harsh EBM noise....

Hocico

Life Cried

Unter Null

[WhiteLines]

Yeah, i enjoy a good bit of Merzbow every now and again... although i can't remember where and when i came acrossed it first. Its certainly not something one can listen to all of the time though, but it is some good shiznit.

[WhiteLines]

Dancing? We no need no stinking dancing!

Naw serious though, I don't dance. I do like some of the harsh EBM-ish stuff that seems oriented to it, but being as i don't dance i guess i am missing some aspect there that makes it appeal to others because some of it is lost on me.

However, i do enjoy some types of music that could only be danced to by a jellyfish who's been given a gram of speed and is in a fish tank that someone has thrown a toaster and three strobe lights into...

[DJ Saint]

Agree with Phee; the pure noise stuff like Merzbow, White house, Brighter Death Now, etc... would probably never see club play.

I would venture to guess you're looking a bit more for the rhythmic aggressive stuff (often just lumped in and misclassified as noise, but that which borrows heavily from other genres as well such as gabber techno, hard tech, ebm, pure noise, etc...)

Here's a lengthy list of acts for you to check out. I've bolded my favorites (they might not show up well with such a long list however)...

and I know I've probably forgotten some even

Yeah, now thats a list and a half... and i do have a good collection of Aphex Twin and richard d james related stuff (and it does depend on the track) i also used to listen to Wumpscut and Download back in the day. Recently i have gotten into a bit of winterkalte, iszoloscope, suicide commando, and terrorfakt... i also picked up on listening to some Xanopticon which i like rather well.

It seems though that being in the gutter for a whole decade left me with a lot of music to catch up on, thanks for the heavy list... and thanks for all the suggestions everyone. If anybody's got more to reccomend, i'm always listening.

[WhiteLines]

Ha ha ha Needle Sharing, heheh. I've seen some people 'needle sharing' before, but I totally wasn't interested in that stuff. Maybe it's a cool band though... unusual name.

I loves me some Imminent Starvation however, I've heard it and thats some good stuff. Thanks for the additional suggestions. And thanks to all so far, both DJs and none DJs alike.

[DJ Nocker]

And if you want some noize that isnt totally electronic... (some of my favorite music, not for everyone)

The Locust (my favorite band)

Head Wound City

Melt Banana

Holy Molar

An Albatross

Daughters

Genghis Tron

[phee]

Detroit Diesel is pretty good harsh EBM

[Eevee]

Oh God...I've been gradually getting more interested in noise lately. I was, of course, referenced to Saint's list by Nocker. Its...so long...

[phee]

Cystem Cex is pretty good too

[phee]

Highly Not Bad:
