Hi Lemmy

Not sure if this is the right community for requests, if not, mods feel free to delete this post.

After a long time I'm finally finding joy again in listening to music. Lately I'm into stuff that combines classical or symphonic instruments (i.e. brass, strings, piano) with modern music styles like electronica, pop or hip hop.

Stuff like the albums Symphonia or Deluxe by Schiller, or the OST of the Desert Combat mod for Battlefield 1942.

Do you have any suggestions for similar tracks?

Definitely check out the Flobots, they're most well known for the song "Handlebars" (I can ride my bike with no handlebars) -- but they are so much more than that song. They are comprised of 2 MC's, a violinist, a bassist and drummer, but they often have a lot of orchestral instruments featured in various songs.

Every album is just so good, highly recommend.
