I was just curious to hear what everyone's favorite artist is for electronic music.
I would say my top three would be...
1. Benny Benassi
2. Armin Van Burren
3. Daft Punk
Who would yours be?
My tastes are prettty specific and I avoid the mainstream type trance that permeated this board at all costs because it is simply bland and not nearly as quality as a lot of other types of electronic music.
I made a little list of stuff that I highly recommend, some of it is pretty widely known but you can't really beat the classics.
The Chemical Brothers - I'm not a fan of their newest album, but pretty much anything before that is extremely dope and perfect for any dancing situation.
The Prodigy -
Music for a Jilted Generation and
Fat of the Land in particular
The Crystal Method-
VegasLeftfield-
LeftismBoards of Canada-
Music Has The Right to Children,
In a Beautiful Place out in the country,
The Campfire HeadphaseVenetian Snares-
Doll, Doll, Doll,
Rossz Csillag Alatt Született,
My DownfallUnderworld-
DubnobasswithmyheadmanDJ Shadow-
Endtroducing...,
The Private PressU.N.K.L.E.-
Psyence FictionAmon Tobin-
Bricolage,
Permutation, and
Foley RoomPrimal Scream-
Screamadelica and
XTRMNTR
Portishead-[i]Dummy and
ThirdThe Notwist-
Neon Golden[i] and [i]The Devil, You + MeThe Knife-
Silent ShoutHybrid-
Wide AnglePendulum-

Trip on X These guys are long gone, I believe, but they made some really cool Florida Breaks
DJ Icey-Florida Breaks he makes a lot of solid compilations
Baby Anne-Florida Breaks
Rick West-Florida Breaks, has a series of compilations, Flavored Beats, that is extremely stellar.
Blue States-
Nothing Changes Under the SunAphex Twin-Anything but especially

Infected Mushroom-Their first three albums are the only ones I enjoy, after that they sort of changed their style. (IMG:

Some of this is dancable some of it is more IDM a little psy-trance, some breakcore, big beat, if you don't know any of this most of these have myspace pages or you can d/l via torrent trackers.
Enjoy!
