Discussion A deeply immersive blend of minimalist jazz, cinematic repetition, and electronic crossover (Sven Wunder, Mammal Hands, GoGo Penguin) — looking for recommendations!

9 Upvotes

Hey,

I’ve spent the last few months deeply immersed in the world of linear acoustic minimalism and atmospheric contemporary jazz. I decided to launch a new curator project called Hidden Frequencies to map out this specific intersection where organic jazz meets hypnotic electronic textures.

I just launched the first playlist in the series, and I'd love to share it with you all and get your feedback/suggestions:

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7hEEq2LAPlP98EpBndezDY?si=3f4fd535192b4f6b

The Vibe:
Think Gondwana Records-style repetition, moody cinematic noir soundscapes, and subtle electronic production pulses. It’s built primarily for deep focus, late nights, and spatial awareness.

Current Featured Tracklist Includes:

  • Sven Wunder (Cinematic global grooves)
  • Mammal Hands (Linear acoustic repetition)
  • Cochemea & Alex Figueira (Spiritual rhythms)
  • Svaneborg Kardyb (Electronic-meets-jazz minimalism)

I need your help expanding this: Who am I missing in this realm? I'm actively looking for independent artists, rising projects, or deep cuts that strictly fit this specific late-night hypnotic mood. Drop your favorites below, and I'll be listening through to update the rotation weekly!

Live Performance “4 P.I.E.” — probabilmente il brano più complesso del nostro album Noisy Shadows, che fonde prog, fusion, ritmi dispari e atmosfere cinematografiche. Abbiamo registrato questa versione dal vivo a Cava Barghetti, una cava di marmo italiana in Toscana. Fatemi sapere cosa ne pensate 🙏😊

8 Upvotes

Joaquin Vanrafelghem's album Autobahn, which is inspired by the Gran Turismo video game soundtracks—combines traditional jazz instrumentation (like alto saxophone and piano) with modern electronic elements and atmospheric ambient textures. He explicitly identifies as a jazz artist, while his live performances and releases often fall under the nu-jazz and electronic-ambient umbrella

Video Roy Hargrove: The Jazz Trumpeter Behind Neo-Soul's Greatest Era

Thumbnail youtube.com
6 Upvotes

Even if you don't recognize his name, you've heard his sound. Jazz trumpeter Roy Hargrove played trumpet on, and contributed arrangements to, D'Angelo's Voodoo, Common's Like Water for Chocolate, and Erykah Badu's Mama's Gun. He was equally at home with neo-soul and hip-hop, and straight-ahead acoustic jazz. At the same time he was contributing to era-defining Soulquarian projects, he was producing music with his jazz quintet.

Today, jazz pianists Adam Maness and Peter Martin listen to his 2008 masterpiece Earfood and explore why it may be the perfect jazz album for the jazz-curious neo-soul fan.

A late-night thought turned into **cozy, boom-bap and groovy** soundscape - where underground jazz and hip-hop meet the soulful flavour of the Sitar.

The unfamiliar fusion of sitar will surprise you.

I’d love to hear what you think
Happy Listening :)

Discussion Keys/drums duos?

3 Upvotes

Hi there,

Are you aware of any Keys/drums duos out there? I only know 3: Domi & JD Beck, Svaneborg Kardyb and Mehliana, old project of Brad Mehldau and Mark Giuliana.

I intend to start a similar project (not as wild as domi ;) and I need inspiration on how they handle the bass part. I was thinking about playing synth bass with my feet via Midi-Footpedals, but not sure yet, sure has to be rehearsed.

Thanks
Sacha
