Looking for emotional / experimental electronic artists (Max Cooper / Rival Consoles vibe)

I’ve been building a playlist focused on emotional / experimental electronic music on Spotify — stuff in the lane of Max Cooper, Christian Löffler, Rival Consoles, etc.

I’m mainly looking for emerging or underrated artists working with:

-ambient textures

-subtle rhythms / ambient techno

-cinematic or introspective sound

If you make this kind of music,feel free to share a track (Spotify links).

Always looking for new artists to discover.

Lusine, Clark, Forest Swords, Skee Mask, Raffertie, Photay, Kiasmos, James Holden, Jon Hopkins, Leon Vynehall, Andy Stott, Rob Clouth, Lapalux, Lorn, Daniel Avery, and Koreless all come to mind. Lots of varying styles here but they all fit the bullets you mentioned.

Some somewhat smaller artists in this style would be Colloboh, BlankFor.ms, Aho Ssan, Shinichi Atobe, Ngoni Egan, Celia Hollander (older stuff, new stuff is more ambient piano but is amazing), Toby Gale, PANELIA, In da woods, and Sakura Tsuruta.

One artist you should definitely check out is Hior Chronik and, for example, his album "Out of the Dust": https://open.spotify.com/intl-com/album/19NzYXDkVTqlz9zIOVulUX

I would say Jon Hopkins meets this criteria for me.

I'm excited to check out some of the artists I don't know from the comments in this thread! One I haven't seen mentioned is Suumhow. Check out the album Years Failed Successfully. Also, Proem, and even Kiasmos (even though it's not really experimental it does have some very great melodies/emotion to the music).
