Pearl and the oysters, Tycho, Røyksopp, Gorillaz, Madlib, Nujabes, J Dilla....
I can recommend a lot of music but it really boils down to what specific feel you're going for and how much you're willing to actually try.

Christ I haven't thought of Røyksopp in like 15 years.

I only ever knew that one song from that Geico commercial in the first place.

That's actually the song that made me find out about them back in the day.

OK, we can all go and search for new music but I find it's more enjoyable when it's on someone's recommendation. I really want to find hidden gems that don't sound like other music.
So: here are a few from me:
"Cyber Bird" by Takashi Yoshimatsu is an incendiary concerto for saxophone that defies easy categorization. I often find that the first movement alone just leaves me exhausted.
"Ballet Mechanique" is almost in a class by itself in how it embodied fururist values in music and might have been the first music video (don't quote me on that). Written by George Antheil, it is the beautiful rhythm of the factory and the city.
"The World God Only Knows" is a cartoon that you might all already know (sorry!) but the theme song is part of a cool 8 minute piece that synthesizes angelic lyricism with a technological element that perfectly captures what this (really good) show represented.

So nice to see you here! :D Well, here's a song that has lately going through my head a lot m.youtube.com/watch?v=kx9...=ygUKaGl0b2dhd2FyaQ%3D%3D it's not a hidden gem probably (7.1 million views XD), but I probably would've never knew it existed if it wasn't by a random recommendation I got, also it sounds very unusual to what I'm used.
I listened to it some months ago and it had the same effect as now that I've listened it again. It's a pretty powerful and scary song, not only because of the instrumental, but because of a very sensitive topic it adresses and how it makes an amazing job giving a horrible feeling kinda showing how a person in that situation could feel (The transition in 2:21 is the perfect example, what a harmony between lyrics and instrumental!). I've had close experiences to stuff like this, but not as the affected one, but as the guy trying to help so that's probably why it hits me harder. It has a very pessimistic message (From the character, not necessarily the artist) and I really like that kind of stuff, it awakes strong feelings in me and that's exactly what I love in music. This song creates a story that can leave you thinking and the video makes everything even scarier.

Our mission is searching music to recommend to you? or everyone else?
Because music is something extremely subjective It is a complicated mission. What is good for you, for others can be boring, antiquated or strange. Also, sometimes your enjoyment of some tracks is influenced by experiences you had with that track. So, for someone that lack those experiences they might find it not as interesting as you did.
I am one of the only few persons that listens to the music people share on this forum, but I need a link.
I am listening to this right now: youtu.be/4BrKsMFVn6c

If you don't want to give something then don't. Don't be a diva about it. We all know it's subjective BUT I might SUBJECTIVELY like what you recommend.
I wasn't trying to start a fight...

I'm no good for specific recs, but I am listening to this shit:
www.animenexus.net/
The site looks dead, but it is still an active station. A Mexican radio station dedicated to anime themes (some in spanish), J-Pop, J-Rock, etc.
Yeah, I'm a weirdo. lol
