    I was a fan of Nirvana and punk rock before I started listening to electronic music (20 years ago). The often recommended transition of [rock music -> rock music with electronic elements -> industrial -> electronic music] absolutely didn't work for me. I had heard bands such as NIN, Skinny Puppy and Prodigy and didn't like them. The tracks of Aphex that are usually recommended as the first things to listen to also didn't work: I was unimpressed with Windowlicker, Come to Daddy and SAW1.
    The things that caught my interest were the things that sounded the most unfamiliar to me: Confield and post-Confield Autechre, the weirdest BoC album interlude tracks, and glitchy minimalist music from netlabels such as Autoplate.

    Gotcha! That's interesting. I'll try 

  2. They really likd ATR. I'm gonna have them listen to more records from digital hardcore recordings and send them some industrial strength records for good measure..

    Either something linked to what they are listening to

    BUT ALSO

    Something completely different and shocking, something they never heard before, something so out of their confort zone it challenges them radically. I don't fully buy the safe recommendations method. 

    Don't underestimate people. Try some bold choices as well i truly think it can work sometimes. 

    Any suggestions of what sort of shocking shit I could send them? My immediate impulse is Oneohtrix Point Never since he's my fav, but considering how cheesy r+7 can be at times that may not be a great pick lol..

  3. All the time I get friends who never listen to electronic music, and I always want to try to get them into it.

    Most of the time they're open to trying it, just inexperienced in it.

    Any recommendations on artists/albums/genres/songs to share to pique their interest?

     

    This has happened multiple times for me but the current friend is especially into the following bands:
    Nirvana, Dead Kennedys, Weezer, Black Flag, and Soundgarden.

  4. Takes a bit to get interesting and sounds a bit corny... Sorry if that's harsh but I feel being honest is typically better than lying. That being said, I think some of your synths are really pretty. I just don't like your choice in beat and how you present everything. Good effort!
