A grand statement, but Fischerspooner did indeed shake up electro pop, using their now-notorious live show to create a buzz as loud and deviant as the synthesizers that slither through their first single "Emerge." Their performances are over-the-top, elaborately costumed and choreographed glam extravaganzas that mix the best and worst of pop culture, Vegas glitz and art house attitude. At the center of the spectacle stand Warren Fischer and Casey Spooner (hence "Fischerspooner"), who met in Chicago at art school. They reconnected later in New York City, and performed their first show at a Starbucks in the East Village. Fischerspooner have since left those latte days behind, and now associate with a crowd more likely to be sipping, say, grapefruit martinis. They've collaborated with Kylie Minogue, David Bowie, Karl Lagerfeld, Terry Richardson and Stefane Sednaoui, and the 2003 opening of FS Studios, a performance and production space in Brooklyn, should inject some more blood (faux, of course) into Fischerspooner's short -- but so far very glittery -- legacy. - Mia Quagliarello]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5150501&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss Electro-Funk Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:52:05 -0800 Top Techno Artists on Rhapsody Online art.5150501 art.5150501 Chromeo art.5150501 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5150501&variant=play&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5150501&variant=data&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.10620458&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss Laptronica Thu, 12 Nov 2009 19:09:52 -0800 Top Techno Artists on Rhapsody Online art.10620458 art.10620458 Thom Yorke art.10620458 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.10620458&variant=play&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.10620458&variant=data&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.63069&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss Electronica/Dance Thu, 27 Aug 2009 09:54:42 -0700 Top Techno Artists on Rhapsody Online art.63069 art.63069 Underworld art.63069 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.63069&variant=play&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.63069&variant=data&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.867&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss Downtempo Thu, 29 Oct 2009 10:55:56 -0700 Top Techno Artists on Rhapsody Online art.867 art.867 William Orbit art.867 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.867&variant=play&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.867&variant=data&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss Ray of Light and introducing another facet of Brit-Pop favorite Blur's sound on 13, Orbit's list of production credits are as distinguished as they are long.

The title may have been slightly off-base (newsflash: Diddy didn't invent the remix, either), but Harris' LCD Soundsystem-inspired electro-funk was still punchy enough to catch the attention of Kylie Minogue, who enlisted him to co-write and produce two songs on her 2007 album, X. In 2008, Harris officially broke out of the electro-pop underground with "Dance Wiv Me," a collaboration with Dizzee Rascal that debuted at No. 1 on the U.K. pop charts. Harris' sophomore album, Ready for the Weekend, appeared in 2009. Like his debut, it's carefree and eager to please, but it boasts polished-up production skills and a range that takes in '80s funk, French house, trance-infused Euro-pop and even a smidgen of rock 'n' roll. - Philip Sherburne]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.22624624&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss Electronica/Dance Thu, 5 Nov 2009 16:49:01 -0800 Top Techno Artists on Rhapsody Online art.22624624 art.22624624 Guru Josh Project art.22624624 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.22624624&variant=play&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.22624624&variant=data&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4970&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss Beats & Breaks Sat, 3 Oct 2009 10:44:42 -0700 Top Techno Artists on Rhapsody Online art.4970 art.4970 Future Sound of London art.4970 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4970&variant=play&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4970&variant=data&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss Accelerator through the ambient constructions of Lifeforms to the twisted breakbeats of their more recent albums, FSOL have shown an omnivorous interest in sound and the different ways it can be combined.

The music is never difficult for its own sake; in fact, what makes FSOL so successful is the way they integrate their sonic investigations into a funky, listener-friendly format.

Taking inspiration from the cosmic synthesizer journeys of Vangelis and Klaus Schulze, they ventured ever inward, following the trajectory of ambient electronica's most contemplative strains. The duo of Tom Middleton and Mark Pritchard reserved other aliases—Jedi Knights, Link, Reload—for dance music proper, variously influenced by electro-funk and acid. But Global Communication all but did away with the beats, sticking to ethereal synthesizers and washes of field recordings. They weren't afraid to let the world in -- "Obselon Minos" follows the pulse of a ticking clock -- but as their time-coded track titles suggest, they were most interested in exploring a field of pure sonics where known reference points melt away. - Philip Sherburne]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.14095&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss U.K./Euro Techno Sun, 18 Oct 2009 10:43:39 -0700 Top Techno Artists on Rhapsody Online art.14095 art.14095 Zombie Nation art.14095 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.14095&variant=play&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.14095&variant=data&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss Jock Jams. Drawing from both classic electro's clean, machine-set cadences and the murkier sonics of experimental techno, Senfter has carved out an idiosyncratic body of work. Having established his electro credentials with 1999's Leichenschmaus and its runaway hit, he returned in 2002 with "Unload," an Italo-disco vamp featuring Berlin minimal-house diva Cassy Britton. In 2006, sophomore album Black Toys offered a richer vision, with fluid arrangements and somber tones offsetting brittle rhythms and overdriven synths. The album sounds like a missing link between Kompakt's brand of electro-pop and Britain's cheekier breakbeat enthusiasts. In 2009, Zombie Nation returned with Zombielicious, a brash collection of galloping jams with its zombie eye clearly focused on fans of LCD Soundsystem and Justice. - Philip Sherburne]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.8913173&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss Leftfield/IDM Tue, 1 Sep 2009 02:39:07 -0700 Top Techno Artists on Rhapsody Online art.8913173 art.8913173 Jackson and His Computer Band art.8913173 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.8913173&variant=play&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.8913173&variant=data&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.38232&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss Detroit/U.S. Techno Tue, 13 Oct 2009 10:04:55 -0700 Top Techno Artists on Rhapsody Online art.38232 art.38232 DJ Godfather art.38232 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.38232&variant=play&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.38232&variant=data&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7093540&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss Techno Sat, 21 Nov 2009 13:43:58 -0800 Top Techno Artists on Rhapsody Online art.7093540 art.7093540 Gui Boratto art.7093540 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7093540&variant=play&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7093540&variant=data&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5851&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss Ambient Techno Fri, 30 Oct 2009 12:04:20 -0700 Top Techno Artists on Rhapsody Online art.5851 art.5851 Sounds from the Ground art.5851 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5851&variant=play&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5851&variant=data&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss Kin features dreamy melodies swirling around downbeat rhythms like fog gathering over a cityscape on fast forward.

Downie experimented with several lineups and took an extended hiatus before returning in 2005, now allied with Dust Science's Martin and Richard Dust; 2008 saw them reissuing a number of classic BDP albums via Glasgow's Soma label, as well as the Detroit Vs.

The 1996 release Ten Days of Blue, with its shimmering arpeggios and fluid grace, remains an under-appreciated high point for Detroit techno's most melodic phase. Moving in the '00s to labels like Ubiquity and Exceptional, Beltran began delving deeper into soul, jazz and various Latin styles, but despite his ambitions, he never let go of his ability to make music sound unusually liquid, with congas bubbling up beneath waves of Rhodes, horns and voice. - Philip Sherburne]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.63367&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss Electroclash Fri, 3 Jul 2009 13:34:14 -0700 Top Techno Artists on Rhapsody Online art.63367 art.63367 Tiga art.63367 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.63367&variant=play&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.63367&variant=data&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.45106&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss Beats & Breaks Wed, 25 Nov 2009 11:50:23 -0800 Top Techno Artists on Rhapsody Online art.45106 art.45106 Apollo Four Forty art.45106 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.45106&variant=play&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.45106&variant=data&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss Getting High On Your Own Supply, was requested for some kind of commercial purpose.

It took her three months to earn enough money at her job as a supermarket cashier to buy a secondhand pair of Technics decks, both of which she still uses. As the gigs started to pile up all over Europe, she recorded "Frank Sinatra" in 2000 with the Hacker, and sent a copy to DJ Hell. Their timing was perfect -- the brittle electro beats and her flat deadpan Flying Lizards-style vocals combined to create a club anthem. The naughty lyrics didn't hurt either, and soon Felix da Housecat was calling for vocal help on "Silver Screen Shower Scene," positioning the now-dubbed Miss Kittin as a leader in the electroclash genre. Never one to be pigeonholed, her style moved closer to techno, and she took a residency at Sven Vath's Cocoon club in Frankfurt, where she showcased her infatuation with leftfield IDM, classic house and old disco. Her key releases, First Album (2002) and I Com (2004), express more of the electro side of her musical canon, but experiencing her live performance is quite different. Her gigs are evenings of wild abandon with funky beats, tunes from across the decades and flawless mixing, while she sings live over the top of it all, driving the crowd crazy with her look-but-don't-touch DJ diva style. - Nicholas Baker]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7426425&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss Detroit/U.S. Techno Wed, 4 Nov 2009 12:13:51 -0800 Top Techno Artists on Rhapsody Online art.7426425 art.7426425 Audion art.7426425 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7426425&variant=play&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7426425&variant=data&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss Asa Breed under his own name, marking a move into expanded songwriting and softer, more contemplative sonics. - Fil Rodriguez]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6574&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss Instrumental (East Coast) Fri, 4 Sep 2009 10:46:31 -0700 Top Techno Artists on Rhapsody Online art.6574 art.6574 DJ Spooky art.6574 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6574&variant=play&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6574&variant=data&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2555&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss U.K./Euro Techno Thu, 19 Mar 2009 11:04:14 -0700 Top Techno Artists on Rhapsody Online art.2555 art.2555 Luke Slater art.2555 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2555&variant=play&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2555&variant=data&rws=%2Felectronica-dance%2Ftechno%2Fartist-chart.rss
