Mine would have to be Tom Lehrer
I dont know how obscure these bands actually are, but i havent met anyone irl who listens to them…
King gizzard and the lizard wizard
Kikagaku Moyo

Kikagaku Moyo are so amazing. Sad that they broke up and I never got a chance to see them!!

death’s dynamic shroud. I don’t do vaporwave much anymore, but I can sit there and listen to a dds.wmv tape for an entire week on repeat. Personal recommendations are the “Evangelis” tape, and the “I’ll Try Living Like This” album.

I’ve yet to come across someone else who also likes them, that’s awesome! I really like “I’ll Try Living Like This”.
It’s tough to say whether they are obscure or not, they are “obscure” in the West but I believe all these artists are moderately well-known in Eastern Europe: I love Воровайкии, Uamee (Hardbass) and Молчат Дома, to be fair I think Molchat Doma is kinda known in the West also bc of Sudno memes.
Comrade, I am so happy that you enjoy Hardbass. In the west, the whole genre may seem obscure, however, it was (maybe is) popular in UK (called Scouse House, maybe not exactly Hardbass but very similar), it is very popular still in Spain and Basque Country, still known in Poland (sadly, less and less, but we have good DJs like Clubbasse or Gopnik McByat), they are some good DJs from France. There are excellent DJs active, but the best club player for me is Sonic Mine from Sankt Petersburg, now sadly not active much. When I will have some spare time, I will upload somewhere his podcasts which I downloaded from some obscure Russian website, which is down now probably.
Awesome! I liked Gopnik McBlyat but I thought the name was a tad on the nose lol. It’s like if an American artist was named “Hipster O’Yankee” so I figured they weren’t actually from Eastern Europe, I’m glad to be wrong about that one 😂
Actually, you are not far from truth. The word “Gopnik” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gopnik is not in use in Poland, we have a similar notion of “dresiarz” (one who wear only tracksuit, likes to beat people), but not many Polish people even know the word “Gopnik”. Poland is a strange country, which is not fully Eastern, but also not fully western, even if many politicians want it. There is artist from Spain, as I remember, called Sukahard, while “suka” is popular word in Slavic languages, meaning “removed”, and Spanish artists also frequently borrow the gopnik culture elements. BTW, this is one of the best, in my subjective taste, and most hardcore sets of Gopnik McBlyat, unless you already know it: https://m.soundcloud.com/tri-poloski-records/gopnik-mcblyat-at-tri-poloski-utrecht-04-02-23
Ahh! Три Полоски🤣 I love this one, I used to play this one to my Polish friends and they liked it, I bet none of us knew we were listening to Polish music lol. Do u mind if I PM u some of my fav Hardbass songs?

I would be very grateful, I make a collection of good Hardbass music, as it would be a genre on extinction 😁 the collection is ony disc, maybe when I finally have some spare time, I will share it in some way publicly
I loved Slugabed’s and Samuel Organ’s collaborative project Peter Talisman. There’s only one album out though and I don’t know if they’re going to make more. I’ve never heard music like that and so hasn’t the Internet, because neither spotify, youtube or last fm is able to give me something similar to it.
I wonder if you’ll enjoy Groundislava. Try “Creeper Shit” and “Young Lava”
it pains me to tell you that I don’t enjoy lo-fi chiptune music 😔 but alas, I have to be truthful
Slugabed and Groundislava are in the same sphere (they remix each other). Sounds like it’s not the wonky groove that appeals to you but the the acoustic experience. Maybe bibio might be your thing.
Might not be that obscure but Ratatat. No idea why it’s not a mainstream success.
Helped make Pursuit of Happiness an absolute banger
I’ve listened to Wildcat so much
Yea that one is such a classic. I recommend you listening to Abrasive, Cream on chrome and Karst.
Yes, Ratatat! I learned about them through Kevin Rose back in the Diggnation days.
Try Karst - E.VAX, it’s another project from one of the ratatat boys.
Just got around to listening to it, the Ratatat sound is there immediately, I like it!
Whitewoods, also known as Bug Your Parents.
Made somewhat popular by Pyrocynical from his use of their song Beachwalk in his outro, along with Whitewoods revolutionizing Vaporwave by basically founding the genre. However many of their songs are extremely obscure and I assume that absolutely no one knows who they are.
Beachwalk: https://youtu.be/oF9yHO-UUws
12 million views, so definitely a hit, but they are overall very small and obscure in the grander scheme of things.
