So this is a term I started using about 12 years ago for my Teknoaidi (nowadays Teknojta) music as well as the Hiiden Virren Vinguttajat group. Some other artists like Nandavaka also sometimes used it. But "a shaman" is very culture-specific , and nowadays there is a wider spectrum of artists who are kind of doing a similar thing, which is to combine ritualistic folk music (ideally diy and not sampled/bootlegged) with hardcore techno. So I've also thought of using descriptive terms like "ritual" or "ritualcore". There are also 2 layers to this as the composing methods are not uniform - there is stuff that is more composed, using the ritual folk elements and released as tracks and there are live sets/sound rituals/improvised jams, which gives a totally different dynamic to the whole experience for the performers and the listeners. Here is a list of some "shamancore" and similar releases to check out: rateyourmusic.com/list/Avaruusveli/ritual-folk-hardcore-techno-fusions For HVV it's still mostly live sets and VA compilation appearances (but there is a release coming up sooner or later too): soundcloud.com/hiidenvirrenvinguttajat And Ydinväki label is going to be specializing more and more into this: ydinvaeki.bandcamp.com

@@Teknojta Very interesting, thank you very much for such a comprehensive answer! I love that 1 Björk track is on that RYM list haha. I will listen to all the projects I didn't know about, for sure.

@@speedcorenetwork8689 Yeah, Kasimyn from Gabber Modus Operandi made beats for some of the tracks on the Björk album and they called it "biological techno" :D

Unfortunately no. There's likely labels like Transelucid, OBX, Winprod and Spiralkore..
