Is Rock okay? If so: And So I Watch You From Afar
I like to listen to synthwave when driving and I can recommend 'Rivera Rivera' and 'Inexdra' as well as 'Cartridge 1987'.
The latter has some great songs that tell a story without any words.
I can recommend Solar Fields, although they did the Soundtrack to Mirror's Edge, their albums are pretty nice.
Also (but not really contemporary): Casiopea - Japanese Fusion Jazz. Sounds like the soundtrack to Gran Turismo, but still.
Well, I happen to quite like upbeat, 8-bit-style music, but here's concrete artists nonetheless:
HOME, the anthem of speedrunning is by them too.
Guts Pie Earshot are one of my favorite bands - just Cello & Drums (except in their first years), for example Butterfly
The Comet Is Coming - for some psychedelic/jazz/rock, Tiny Desk Concert
Space Rock - An Interstellar Traveller's Guide is one of my favorite compilation albums (so not really an artist but a bunch of artists)
Some more space rock: Yuri Gagarin
Die Wilde Jagd have some lyrics, but also many instrumental tracks, like Austerlitz.
When it comes to techno, there is obviously a lot of choice, I like e.g. Ellen Alien Lism for a more ambient vibe
I like to listen to the genres Synthwave and Dark Ambiance. Spotify is pretty good to find new music in that regard. Since you asked for artist recommendations and not genres:
Judge Bitch β their Album Horse Blood is pretty good.
Perturbator β sounds like you're driving on some rainy highway at night to your cyberpunk destination
There's also Instrumental Nu Metal, for example:
Andromeda β start with their song Synthesis
MASTER BOOT RECORD β it's just riffs and booms, usually no vocals
A. Yarmak β has some nice metal remixes, for example Hydrogen from the game Hotline Miami
Then there's Dubstep and Breakbeat, for example:
The Prodigy β uses samples heavily, but also has a few tracks without spoken words
Lindsey Stirling β Dubstep and violin, interesting combination.
videogame OST [β¦] either really well known or fall into the orchestral and/or βepic music scoreβ Iβm not looking for
Well, there are tons of videogames and many of them don't have an orchestral/epic soundtrack, and even more of them are not very well known. I think you're limiting yourself here.
