Best Electronic Artists

[Episkeheim]

Just say your favorite electronic artists. It can be any electronic genre such as house, techno, game wave, bitpop, electronica, acid, etc.
Mine would be Basshunter, Deadmau5, Swedish House Mafia, Darude, Familjen, Slagsmålsklubben, Röyksopp, Axwell, Daft Punk, Benny Benassi, and Laser Inc.

[Door_Mouse]

Thrill Kill Kult and KMFDM, I suppose.

[Zirconim]

Infected Mushroom

[RobCo Industries]

Basshunter lolnou

I don't have a list of the "best" because I like and dislike songs from a lot of artists.

Though one I am liking now is KloneZ.

I dunno. I like listening to actual music made with real instruments by actual musicians.

You're an idiot... Electronic is played with keyboards, synthesizers and mixers. It's just like playing the piano except its not a complete bore. If it's so easy I'd like to see you try to make electronic music.

Hey look, an ignorant post by a troll!

Everyone, hurry, flame him so he can make himself feel importantz!

Absolute favourite of all time is Ladytron.

Otherwise: Röyksopp, Yelle, DJ Tomcraft, Designer Drugs.

And if they count, Goldfrapp, La Roux and Robyn.

There are also quite a few in my local music scene that I'm always happy to support. Peachcake is one.

Out of those, I really only like Yelle and La Roux.

I guess. Last time I checked, tho, synthesizers and mixers weren't... you know... musical instruments. They're pieces of equipment. Call me old fashioned but, like I said, I like it when real people play real instruments to make a song, not when some guy on a laptop takes a bunch of sounds and mixes them together and pushes buttons to distort them while an audience of x-ed up teenagers and 20 somethings flail around a club with glow sticks and pretend like they're part of a movement.

How do you think a synthesizer makes noise? Just by turning the nobs? Synthesizers are keyboards with multiple electronic sounds on it so you should learn your stuff before you post stupid comments.

Obvious troll is obvious. Just ignore this guy.

Yeah I saw them at the Terrorbyte Festival in Austin, Texas back in February. Dracos and Rexx are awesome.

So what about Trent Reznor or RZA, are they not musicians? They do a hell of a lot more than you described and both play multiple non-electronic instruments in compliment to their use of samplers, sequencers and synths.

[Episkeheim]

hmm just wondering if I were to download a synth on my laptop and plug a MIDI keyboard into my laptop would that work?

[Kurbads]

Infected Mushroom is pretty great. I don't know if Brighter Death Now counts, but they're pretty sweet as well.

I'd count BDN, and love them.

back in my day, we just pounded on a hollow log we found in the forest. and we liked it.

[Meryuma]

The Residents, Whitehouse, Monolake, Merzbow, Nine Inch Nails, Ladytron, Aphex Twin, and Daft Punk, and various random pieces of dubstep and chiptunes are really the extent of my electronic music experience.

The Residents are one of my all-time favorite bands.

[Exemplis]

Amon Tobin.
