i’m kind of surprised no one mention the old boi last.fm

edit - to be clear i understand its an all but dead platform but its always been there for me :') and their algorithm seems better than it should be.

last.fm was/is great! I used to use it extensively and it lead me to so much new music over the years…

Its all those scrobbles.

But I agree, last.fm was the last streaming music service I ever used regularly. Everything else just seems to have such shitty suggestions comparatively.

Regardless of the genre, the answer is King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard.

You need to do more drugs. Or less drugs. Either way, the solution is drugs.

There are better kings in pyscadelic rock. King Buffalo maybe? King Gizzard is not always easy listening.

It sounds ridiculous but I promise I’m being serious. I’m looking for instrumental songs that are from the middle ages / the renaissance, with fun and fast-paced beats that just makes you wanna dance to it. Think of the POTC soundtrack but medieval. An example is the song “Im Maien” by Piffaro. I’m writing a story at the moment that takes place during this time and I could really use some upbeat, party bangers as inspiration lmao.

Not exactly what you’re looking for, but the Bardcore genre is the modern equivalent - pop songs retrofitted with medieval aesthetic.

I have listened to that! While they’re funny, I can’t take them very seriously, especially when writing. :')

Plugging !radiolemmy@lemm.ee. Not exactly what you asked for, but a cool community project that covers a wide spectrum of musical genres.

Might be a case of ‘build it and they will come’.

I’ve been writing dance music for about 20 years, I think the relentless pigeonholing of genres can get ridiculous, but if it’s within that cast array I might be able to help… Before someone else wildly disagrees :)

Wildly disagree.

You’ll have to pry my deep minimal organic afrotech from my cold dead hands.

One day, you’ll realise it was deep minimal organic afrotech dubhouse, and come to your senses

It can definitely get ridiculous, but it is unavoidable when you really start to develop a taste for music.
