This has turned into a real treasure trove of a thread - thanks for everyone’s contributions. I’m slowly working my way through them.
In particular, Battles (@Octagonist) - what magical yet brilliant from-another-galaxy nonsense is this? I watched that Boiler Room session somewhat stupified, my brain trying and failing to shoehorn it into a genre. Closest thing I’ve ever heard is some of the Radil Soulwax stuff by 2 Many DJs. Good find.
Speaking of criminally underrated/underheard, anyone familiar with Mansun (c. late 90s/early 00’s)? Seem to recall an interview where they talked about running the guitars through a Korg synth and other whacky techniques. This one has some lush pads towards the end.
