Hello, this topic is dedicated to music in which the soundscape can make you feel a little off kilter, detached, tripped out, or otherwise hazed. Please note this thread is not for "hype" music.

I'll start off with a few of my favorite music that sonically makes me feel a little disassociated:

Thanks for the contribution. I definitely recognize a lot of the sounds in those from Snoop Dogg's first album.

Awesome songs you posted. Yeah, they totally nail the dissociative vibe I've been looking for more of. I think that key elements to a song being that way are the echoes and repetitions, the pitch modulations, different parts of the mix being faded. Dissociation is all about part of your mind kind of wandering off so when the mix seems to be kind of splitting off it can induce that. Also it tends to be darker tones, and arpeggios and voice modified vocals. DJ Screw is a great example. As is a lot of vaporwave and some synthwave.

A few specific artists that get me like this and why-

Kanye West makes a lot of avant garde-ish beats and lyrical content that relate to feeling a little bit "Lost in the world" and internal struggles.

Lapalux is probably one of the most off kilter producers I've ever found and just good in general. Clams Casino was posted earlier in this thread and it's like that except more glitchy.

Hypnagogia by Dan Mason is a HIGHLY dissociative feeling vaporwave album made with original lyrics and compositions. Dan Mason in general fits that vibe.

Many of the artists in my Krautrock thread would also fit into here, such as Can, Tangerine Dream, Ash Ra Tempel, Klaus Schulze, ect.

King Crimson has a lot of music that fit this vibe, more on the folk/rock side of things though.

I'm a bit of a musical psychonaut so I'm not sure how my scale for this might compare to other people's.

Gray area's pretty intense and unusual:
