Try Pogo's Cosmoluxe. Tidal recommend it to me and the first track was enough to hold my attention, but it gets so much better after that (IMO). It's sample heavy but perfectly crafted, clever and fun. It's been a real highlight for me for a while.

Vril - Anima Mundi
Orbital - In Sides! There was a period I'd listen to this every day on my work commute and love it still. I'm not usually one to obsess on a album/playlist.
entheogenic's library is worth checking out, also I cant tell you how many times I see people recommend the album Prose Edda by Yggdrasil who now go as Kurbeats, they remastered this album in 2022, it can be found on bandcamp.
This is an amazing post thanks for doing it! So many suggestions! I have been going through some of them and have moved from one great piece to another! So many artists!
Simian Mobile Disco- Temporary Pleasure, Attack Decay Sustain Release, Unpatterns
Since I see Tipper and Koan Sound there (hard agree, btw), I think you'd like the neuro/bass scene as well:
- There's Frequent, Vorso, Copycatt, Keota if you like weirder sounds
- There's Azaleh, Echo Map, Stasys, Voljum if you like a more melodic focused experience but still enjoy lots of insane sound design
μ-Ziq and dntel come to mind.
For sound design, it's hard to beat Metroid Prime Triology's soundtracks. Each is just so good.
For atmosphere and technical ability, I think Xetrovoid's darkwave style deserves a shout, but Pertubator is a little more popular.
Otherwise, there's a lot of stellar vaporwave and futurefunk out there that takes advantage of these. I think a couple favorites are Vaperror, St. Pepsi, and Groceries, Yes We're Open!
Thanks very much for all of the recommendations, everyone! I have lots of musical exploration ahead of me!
Nero, com truise, justice. Love me some Nero, also their reaching out music video sent me on a wild out run fueled music kick.
