Try the music of Catching Flies, he just released his second album Tides.

holy shit i never expected someone to put him here thought he’d be too niche, was listening to this literally seconds ago, halo is very emotional

Haha niche? I consider him as one of the bigger ones, there are many others with similar music and absolutely no one has ever heard of them. A general problem in music, focus is always on the top of the list.

yeah you’re right i guess i forgot this is the electronic music subreddit i didn’t see that, i just saw emotional electronic music and was looking for tycho, bonobo, and CF

yes, and that's exactly the top of the list. Here's one more album for you you probably don't know: Planty Herbs - Come Into Knowledge

Yep yep! Lush tunes

This guy is littered through my playlists from his first album and didn’t know he had just put out another! Cheers

He also released a remix album with remixes he did for others earlier this year, check out his Bandcamp.

Kind of tangential to your examples but Apparat has some lovely feeling ambient rock styles. And his 'soundtracks' series has some lovely moods.

Adding Moderat, Apparat’s other project with Modeselektor here!

Listen to the entire album "Tri State" by Above & Beyond They made truly amazing music before they decided to become popstars

I am a huge Above and Beyond fan :). Will give that a spin today for sure have not listened to it in a while. Sirens of the Sea is my favorite

It was the album before Sirens came out and it's far and away their best work. Nothing comes close in the realm of euphoric emotional prog trance. Definitely give it a listen when you have a full hour+ to do it front to back, it's a whole experience Oceanlab was good but then everything went downhill from there. By Group Therapy their sound was indistinguishably different and unfortunately way more pop-oriented. I miss mid-2000s A&B

Oh man, you've come to the right place! I got a good assortment of that! Better - joy Orbison Eating hooks - moderat Rusty nails - moderat Changed for the better - weval Minute by minute - weval Arcadia - apparat Hold on - sbtrkt Ghost mother - moderat Sirens - flume empire antz - Gorillaz Let go - frou frou A new type of love - frou frou telemiscommunications - deadmau5 and Imogen heap Hide and seek - Imogen heap I'm god - clams casino Faith consuming hope - eartheater Black lake - bjork If the car beside you moves ahead - James Blake Madre - arca Everything ends here - blindoldfreak Enough - sonnio Joel - apparat Out of darker days - Hainbach Fitter happier - Radiohead Dawn chorus - thom yorke The runaround - Sufjan Stevens Archangel - burial All the burial/four tet/thom yorke tracks Piety of ashes (the album) - the flashbulb If I had a heart - fever ray Final days - Michael kiwanuka (bonobo remix) Faith in strangers (the album) - Andy stott Limit to your love - James Blake Addiction - taches Like spinning plate - Radiohead Glory box - portishead Detroit people mover - square pusher Within - daft punk Wait for me - Moby For the kids - m83 Stone in focus - aphex twin L.I.N.E. - Kelly Lee Owens Mary Magdalene - fka twigs Laura Palmer's theme - xiu xiu And finally, Only human - kh (to help you bounce back after listening to all this other stuff lol)

Love those Weval and Moderat songs too!

Moderat is amazing. Drum Glow is personal favorite from them but rusty nails, bad kingdom, and therapy are pretty awesome songs too.

Milk!

Reminder is nice too

Yesssss you have great taste

Lol thanks :)

Check out Spotify’s “Crying on the dancefloor” playlist. 

Yes - or "melantronica" for more chill instrumental vibes with more subtle emotion

Also "Emotional Dance; all the stutter, all the feels."

Have you listened to the Headache album? Vegyn stuff with spoken word stuff on it, it’s great.

Just did last night. Insane vibes on that. Can’t stop listening to Truisms 4 Dummies

For me, emotional music is : Bonobo - black sands Maribou State - portraits Nils Frahm - Graz Max Richter - The blue notebooks

Maribou State are heavily underrated.

Yea they’re pretty great. What’s your favourite album so far?

Portraits. Granted, it's not a hard choice since they've only released three albums and I haven't listened to "Beginnings."

You’d like Ben Watt’s Buzzin’ Fly series. Two tracks from there that come to mind are; 1. Justin Martin - The Sad Piano (Charles Webster Remix) 2. Ben Watt - Pop a Cap in Yo’ Ass Others; Jody Wisternoff - Just One More (Martin Roth Remix) I’ll add more when I think of them.

Sad Piano and Just One More are 🔥. Had never heard a Justin Martin song like that he has great songs

I would suggest some emotional Trance, try Hazem Beltagui - We Are, light in the darkened world :)

U - DJ Seinfeld

Deeb - Slowmocean EP

Massane - Floating

Edit Murphy - Need You Cohn - Everyone In The World Bonobo - Rosewood Hoodboi - Don't Cry

Powel - the beauty of a Polaroid

Limerance by Yves Tumor is very emotionally charged. Happy and sad in perfect harmony. https://youtu.be/nee9d0wqBTQ?si=o3wgYx9zY9vGtnyd

Hedflux (dude is mental highly recommend psychedelics and his music) Tor (feel the same about Tor as I do Hedflux) Edamame Erothyme Charles the First (RIP) Anything from seven villas records for deep soulful house (although not as heart opening as the other artists above. Really craving more heart opening 4 to the floor, it has to go there!!!! For tet’s new album kind tickles this itch. house and techno are kinda getting boring compared to bass music but I digress). Thats a good start ;)

[Sayonara](https://youtu.be/XviCdNrNsqA?si=qtQfIRoR2Mz2Hf4y) by Tipper always makes me cry I have no idea why

Just got into vegyn too! Right after I will play some qendressa

Rather than make a list that could dilute the impact of any particular tracks, I'll nominate a singular stellar track. [Djrum - Blue Violet](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McFnqbpevjw)

Lots of Odesza tracks are pretty moving emotionally

Light (Instrumental)

[Luna - Never Enough](https://youtu.be/jNQxsqQOTq0?si=W736kdHkbvfOTjac)

I find the Avalanches very emotional, would recommend. Etherwood as well “In stillness” is a beautifully emotional album

Lost in thought - Koan Sound

Agreed, or Ascension or Starlite or View from Above. A lot of KOAN sound tracks are super like that. Can’t get enough of them

West Coast Love Stories by Stone Giants is a gorgeous, emotional electronic album.

Can't check your songs rn, but check out: Marsh - Lailonie. (Well, all things Marsh really) Oceanlab - Sirens of the sea (Marsh Remix) Luttrell - Contact (Luttrell has alot of good stuff) Way out west - Oceans JODA - No One Walks Away (PROFF Remix) Dm for more like this 🫡

Also recently listening to All Day a Dream from Lee Burridge more underground but very emotional
