He mixes soul, R&B, his own self-created synths and excellent beats to make some truly unique electronic music. Yet another anonymous foreigner, SBTRKT has been remixing tracks to high acclaim since 2009, but really broke out and broke new ground with his debut self-titled album that released earlier this year. Style(s): Post-dubstep, Soul, Electro-R&B, UK funky, 2-step

This shouldnвЂ™t surprise, as his own twitter describes himself as вЂњMusic Producer: 70% of my body is made of video games.вЂќ HeвЂ™s new, heвЂ™s awesome and his music energetically speaks for itself.ДЄlso Listen Too: вЂњ Sexy And I Know ItвЂќ, вЂњ In The AirвЂќ, вЂњ Magic TrooperвЂќ 3 вЂ“ SBTRKT ItвЂ™s heavy on the synths, light on the vocals and has a lot of meaty bass with the occasional wobble. This elusive, somewhat mysterious Estonian is a master of great hardcore electro, which can sort of be described as videogame music on вЂroids. Style(s): Electro House, Nu-Disco, Dubstep Thankfully, Cooper and Telefon Tel AvivвЂ™s legacy lives on through their excellent body of music which includes five albums and a bunch of great remixes, like the Apparat one above.ДЄlso Listen To: вЂњ KomponentвЂќ, вЂњ Sound in a Dark RoomвЂќ, вЂњ The BirdsвЂќ

Unfortunately, Cooper passed away in 2009 and while Eustis declared heвЂ™s soldiering on alone, he hasnвЂ™t released anything new yet. Their music hits a variety of the darker and more downtempo styles, flirting with industrial, darkwave, IDM, and glitch. Style(s): IDM, Darkwave, Industrial, GlitchД¬urrently, Chicago-based Telefon Tel Aviv is Joshua Eustis, but the act started as a duo back in 1999 with Eustis and collaborator Charles Cooper (heвЂ™s the guy in the lead image for the article). Bear in mind that the style lists are loose few of these acts fit neatly into any specific sub-genre and many make songs in a variety of styles. ThereвЂ™s electro, synthpop, nu-disco, electro-funk, darkwave, electro-R&B, French house and even some dub all up in this selection, and it still doesnвЂ™t come close to encapsulating whatвЂ™s awesome these days across the various genres.Д«ut, itвЂ™s a good attempt at a snapshot, and IвЂ™ll be damned if anyone reads this list and doesnвЂ™t find at least a few things they like. In recognition of that, but mostly because we cringe at the thought of Skrillex, The Black Eyed Peas, and every Auto-Tune abusing, kitchen-sink synth arrangement hip-hop artist presenting themselves as the alpha and omega of all that is electronic, here are 10 current and fantastic artists from a diverse array of electronic styles and sub-genres. Given that wide range, there is, of course, a lot of crap masking the good bits but thereвЂ™s no need for anyone to write off everything under the umbrella. People who openly scoff at tend to either think of something like DarudeвЂ™s вЂњ SandstormвЂќ (which while awesome in the context of 1999, itвЂ™s longstanding legacy has arguably done more harm than good), or whatever trashy, headache-inducing excuse for dubstep they were aurally assaulted with at their last party.Д«ut electronic music is less a specific genre than a blanket term for several genres of music produced predominantly with electronic implements and/or computer software-thereвЂ™s an electronic analogue to nearly every genre of вЂњregularвЂќ music from classical, to punk, to jazz, etc. The phrase вЂњelectronic musicвЂќ can evoke an incredibly wide range of distinct styles and sounds spread across roughly four decades.
