Recommend me some Electronic Artists

Blisterman

I've only recently started listening to Electronic music, due to the current drought in good rock music.
Now I'm eager to discover some more, so I'll try and explain what I like.

I'm looking for artists which make albums of different songs. I'm not interested in listening to long DJ sets, of repetitive music. I'm also not into cheesy europop either.

The artists I've been listening to recently, which I enjoyed the most are Mylo, Basement Jaxx, Fatboy Slim and Royksopp.
Fairly mainstream stuff to be honest, but that's really the sort of music I'm looking for.

Can anyone reccommend anyone similar worth checking out?

my favourite albums:

photek - form and function volume 1 (not volume two - it's terrible)

photek - modus operandi

calibre - second sun

goldie - timeless

leon switch & kryptic minds - lost all faith

amit - the never ending

breakage - this too shall pass

Check out SebastiAn and Kavinsky. They both did a set before a daft punk concert i was over over the summer and I thought their stuff was better than daft punks. Justice are class too!

Goldie's "Timeless" is, pardon the pun, a timeless album!
lol. Seriously though, it's an amazing chillout album!
And SebastiAn and Kavinsky are also fantastic.
In fact, check out all you can on Ed Banger records.
Some quality DJ's/producers coming out of Ed Banger.

Thanks for the recommendations guys. I checked most of them out. Some good. Some, not really to my taste, but ah well. Different strokes.. etc.


Now I'm hungry for more.
Anyone else worth checking out? I'm especially interested in music from the last couple of years. Most the new stuff I hear recently is indie/synthpop influenced (eg the Knife, The Gossip, Hot Chip etc.). Which isn't really my scene.
Like I said before, I'm more into the likes of Mylo, Basement Jaxx, Fatboy Slim etc.

Anyone else got any more recommendations?

somebody mentioned Orbital right? yeah they are the 'best' electronic band in the world! (in my opinion.)

Executive Steve

check out the trentemoller album, it's very very good indeed.

Going by what he has mentioned I wouldn't say he'd be into any of that stuff.

I'd go with The Knife but its not really dance music as such.
