Linked a playliist of songs I made, hope you guys like it. I think they all sample different songs iirc. My issue is that I don't know what genre they are. Please tell me if you know what genre they fit in!

I definitely wouldn't personally say techno at all but everyone has different perceptions of different genres.

The drum beat on the 7 8 Groove track is almost drum and bass in how it sounds.

The rest of the tracks I would put somewhere like wave or leftfield bass maybe, although they don't sound super bass focused on the shitty headphones I'm using right now.

Some of the tracks have a sort of earlier Flume feel in places which at the time (2013 ish) was called Future or future pop. Flume mixed in more trap elements but the wavier edge you have reminds me a bit of him.

You may also want to check out PC Music which is its own branch of the future pop/ hyper pop sort of sounds of a decade plus ago and again you seem to have some elements of that.

Genres are never clear cut xD

    I'll definitely look into those, thanks. Were you into the scene when that type of music was more popular?

    Yeh I was, if you are after some recommendations of where to start then:

    Future: The best place to start is with "Too Future" mixes. They have a SoundCloud page that collects all their mixes and will give you plenty of artists to try out.

    Wave: Have a look for things like Klimeks, Sorsari, hnrk or search for "wavemob" who have some mixes from some different artists.

    Hyper pop: PC Music is the label / thing to look for but you'll find artists like AG Cook, GFOTY (girl friend of the year) and Sophie

    Leftfield Bass: This is sort of less defined so will have a lot of different things under the moniker. There are worse places to start than the label Swamp 81 though or have a look at the tag on bandcamp maybe.
