Dunno about new stuff tbh
But what about Gramm - Personal Rock
The Alva Noto / Sakamoto records
probably too house-y but Rhythm Maker and the Background records catalog
might have some outliers that don't pin everything down with a big kick
this has Real Instruments but sort of fits the sparse, laid back and
pointillistic thing:

but yeah I know what you mean - like Dry Warm Soft Glitch
will have to look into Mitek. Stavostrand I've never connected with
despite making the exact sort of music I like playing (dubby tech house
w/digital palette)
alot of the Motion Ward/West Mineral producers seem to like the ambient
side of clicky idm but from i've heard are really cranking the verb and
delay
