Hey,

I'm in an electronic music phase, and I'm having trouble discovering new bands!

It would be great if anyone could post any electronic musicians they like (not just for my sake, ).
Also, any good speedcore would be great (ex. The Speed Freak).

For those who like electronic, here are a few I most certainly recommend:

Tom Deluxx, The Toxic Avenger, The Proxy (some), The Bloody Beetroots, Boys Noize (some), Crystal Castles, The Cyberpunkers (some), Eclier, Les Petiks Pilous (awesome stuff, I think), and Skrillex (some).

For those interested in speedcore and related (ex. hardcoe tech.), I recommend this new musician I found, Schwanzgefecht -- I can only find it on video sites, unfortunately.

Can you post some links? My own searches inevitably only turn up stuff that's basically just techno witha beat over and over again.

Pure Reason Revolution went from a progressive rock sound to something with more electronic elements in it. I quite like it, but I don't know if it's in any way similar to what you're listening to.

DeadMau5 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QV8eiSA4vqc

Vintage http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kzqg7K87GJU. Anything by them. I'm not really aware of a LOT of current artists, but I imagine there are some very good ones.

Also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDa3ARP2Rww. Pretty impressive. Sometimes virtual unknowns are doing great stuff.
I like the anolog stuff. So much warmth and character.

[censored] Buttons are pretty good.

Well, I occasioanlly like some hardstyle. Donkey Rollers, Southstylers, Technoboy, Brennan Hart, that kind of stuff.

I also like some electronic-centered industrial, like KMFDM

Sure!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYnJYQ-HFY4 -- this is the official video version, which I like the most, but there is the original version out there as well

Everything on this label/page could fit that category. Check out COOLRUNNINGS and WALSH. Also, it's all free d/l.
Forgot to say, a couple of the album covers are NSFW and contain nudity. Apologies for offenses.

:foodndrink: I've seen them live twice. Once in the 80s, and again about 7 or 8 years ago. I'd recommend http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxPTjPzTVdM.

Also check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PdPXkff0wE and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUUaG0bVOHo by Kraftwerk. If robots had a soul, they'd make music like Kraftwerk.

For something contemporary, check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4r-Ponwcwg, the guy has a lot of talent.

What exactly counts as electronic music?

I like Prodigy - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmin5WkOuPw and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_PAHbqq-o4 (and the whole album)

Most of my electronic music is really dance/trance/techno, with some quirky ones like above.

Aphex Twin

Here's some good stuff I've found recently.

It's actually a pretty broad definition these days.

http://www.jamendo.com/en/artist/silence is pretty interesting, worth listening through L'autre endroit at least once.
I really like http://www.jamendo.com/en/artist/Hungry_Lucy_%282%29, trip-hoppy goodness. Try You Are, Could It Be?, and Storm.
http://www.jamendo.com/en/artist/Fauna and http://www.jamendo.com/en/artist/tryad get only a quick mention 'cause I gotta go eat.

EDIT: Tag.

These artists defined my musical taste, very glad to have gotten into them when I was younger.

The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, DJ Shadow, Paul Oakenfold, Crystal Method (Vegas, specifically), Aphex Twin

Contemporary Winners: Bibio, Onra, Miami Horror, Danger ( extreme win right here ), Clark, Flying Lotus, SebastiAn

Royksopp is my favorite down tempo band... they are awesome!

all good songs. ignore the music videos and pictures. thats one one of their strong points in my opinion..

I don't know if it's exactly what you're looking for, but Mogwai's album, The Hawk Is Howling, is fantastic for sort of ambient music. Not exactly "electronic", but the sound is similar to things that could be called that.

Also, The Limousines' album Get Sharp is good for electropop.

Discovered John Stanford's ambient trance recently and I absolutely love it. Well worth a listen:

(You can download all his tracks at http://johnstanfordmusic.com/.)

Pretty much everything on The Prodigy's Music for the Jilted Generation is tremendous:

And unlikely as it sounds, check out the soundtrack for Streets of Rage 2 (old Sega game):

How could I forget Royksopp! I want to name my Skyrim Nord Torbjorn after 1/2 the duo.

Breathe Electric
Bomfunk Mc's has some electric
Swimming With Dolphins is sort of electric


I cant really think of anyone else

Starry Eyed Jakwob Remix by Ellie Goulding is good too, although its not electronic.
