Been listening to WELDER ever since i accidentally stumbled upon them during an internet search on StS9 and i fell in love.

Heres his myspace link where you can here a couple of his songs.. http://www.myspace.com/weldersounds

one of them is even the remix of "shock doctrine" by WELDER, wich i think is incredibly relaxing.

Any other fans here?

Im trying to broaden my music collection with bands of this genre, but im not really sure what exactly the genre is called?.. ambient-trance? any help here?

Id love to hear your opinions and comments concerning WELDER or maybe some suggestions for other bands/artists with that same vibe would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys as always.

Landscape and breath


its a sts9 side project, try to download a set.

Thanks SunRise.

sound tribe is great, so i will give those a look for sure.

I think i might know where to look, thanks.

something about that WELDER sound just so warm and peaceful.

i wish he had more material. So far i have only found him on myspace, grooveshark and pandora. im not sure if there is much on youtube because whenever i search WELDER i just get videos on welding and that sorta thing lol.

anyways, ive recently got together with a group of friends with DJ'ing skills and all of us are very creative thinkers and we are wanting to put together a completely amazing mix of mostly chill, upbeat/positive stuff like sound tribe and welder maybe a little dubstep inbetween to kick it up, so im trying to gather absolutely as much info and music as possible so i can get started and compiling and making a compilation. We are then going to touch it up using sony acid pro and some other software and eventually throw a chill soul searching party where we reveal the project. (more taking part in entheogens and other magic molecules and very little or maybe even no alcohol.)

I have decent collection of music already as of now consisting of lots of stuff like shpongle, paul oakenfold, dj tiesto (dont really like what ive heard so far, opened to suggestions tho.) infected mushroom, a huge folder of Goa Trance music, Modelselektor, Solvent, Skazzi, bluetech, tycho, eskmo, Sts9, 3or4 different folders packed full of dubstep from 2009-2010, and that about it. (but im trying to go easy on the dubstep unless its really chill, nothing to crazy. it can get to loud for this type of atmosphere we are trying to create.) tryin to keep that peacefull/calm vibe, but still with that mellow but funky beat that makes your soul want to tap its feet and puts a smile on your face.

My problem here is that ive already listened to alot of what i have a lot already and i know there has to be plenty of more music just like these bands, but im having trouble actually finding good trip music like WELDER that inst just all rave/techo or overly psychedelic and annoying.

So anymore suggestions and points in the right direction would be awesome.

thanks guys,

Did you listen to any of the songs on WELDERS page? or have you hear him before Sun?

If so what do you think?

Pretty relaxing sounds there DS. I wouldnt label this as anything trance though. Maybe an ambient-alternative-funk fusion, but definately not trance.

yea i really had no idea what to call it.

its just nice.

You should check out Emancipator, beautiful melodic downtempo. Just run a search on Youtube for him, my personal favorite songs are Shook (Mobb Deep/Sigur Ros remix...works surprisingly well), Old Devil, Lionheart, and Anthem.

If you like Emancipator just let me know and I'll see if I can recommend you anything else, I'm a big downtempo fan.

WELDER is awesome!!! He did a sunrise set for a shpongle show last year, I remember leaving and being disappointed because the music sounded so beautiful. Ever since then he's been one of my favs.


I think downtempo IDM would be the most accurate description.. with a hint of trip-hop.

Other similar artists would be: Tipper, Random Rab, Bonobo is kinda similar, definitely check out Emancipator.

I think Tipper would be the most similar to WELDER.

Side Liner <=EXCELLENT!!!!
Rena Jones
Mimosa
Beats Antique
Timonkey <=EXCELLENT!!!! Oh man!! This guys got some beautiful stuff!!

Anybody ever read the book This is Your Brain on Music? I think I'm gonna order it when I get paid.

Hey just wanted to say thanks guys.

been checking out all of the suggestions and been liking just about all of it.

thanks for all the recommendations everyone.

much appreciated.

Beats Antique is incredible, I've been listening to them a lot lately.

i wanted to add Ulrich Schnauss.

fantastic melodic downtempo.
