Recommendations for purely instrumental artists?

Discussion

It's 2019, over for the past few years, I found it increasingly difficult to find purely instrumental tracks, wasn't like this 5~6 years ago. Everyone has their preferences, and I'm not hating on anything. But to put simply, I much prefer purely instrumental tracks over the ones with vocals. Although many of the vocal tracks are great, and have dope drops, one of the reasons I listen to electronic music is that I want to sit there any enjoy the music and beats, not the beautiful voices.

​

With that said, I'll much appreciate any recommendations on artists that focus mostly on instrumental tracks. I follow 5 or 6 electro YouTube channels, but it's getting harder to find these specific tracks that I prefer on there.

​

Note, by non-vocal, I don't mind a few sentences here and there (e.g. Notaker - Into The Light), it's just that the focus should be on the music, not the lyrics. Also, maybe I should mention this, sometimes I don't mind vocals that much but I can't explain, example being 'Feint - Drifters', maybe the vocal is incorporated well in this track.

​

Naming a few artists I enjoy as reference:

  • Notaker
  • Nigel Stanford
  • F.O.O.L
  • Rogue (Especially older tracks)
  • AK

​

Again, thanks a lot!

Yay! Let me know what you think! TAD is great to listen to when you’re out in the middle of nowhere and gazing at stars (I’ve done it multiple times, lol)

And Emancipator is great for getting your creative juices flowing. At least for me.

Oh I forgot to add - C418 is pretty rad. He made all the euphoric music for Minecraft lol.

Edit: also legit any lofi playlist you look up on YouTube. I’ve been a lofi addict for over a year now. If you look up Zelda Lofi, you won’t be disappointed. (Apparently I listen to mostly instrumental and I didn’t even recognize it lol)

Sound Remedy isn't exclusively instrumental, but he has certain tracks without vocals that are stuck in my head!
