Daft Punk
Successful French pair, generally regarded as the most successful electronic artists of all time. Their works include the inescapable “Around the World,” Grammy-winning “One More Time” and “Technologic.”
The Vengaboys
Perpetuating the conception that foreigners heart electronica, this Swedish foursome (in reality two boys and two girls) brought us the lovable tracks “We Like to Party” and “Boom Boom Boom Boom (In My Room).”
M.I.A.
Straight out of Calcutta, M.I.A.’s rotating list of topics includes her father, a suspected terrorist; an underage whore and her own sexual exploits. Her debut “Arular” tantalized critics and audiences alike with its a genre-bending sound and guerrilla ethos.
Fatboy Slim
Progenitor of infinite like-minded big beat dance tracks. Thanks to radio friendly songs like “Praise You,” he has remained the most successful electronic Top 40 artists. Notable successes include “The Rockafeller Skank” and “Weapon of Choice.”
The Chemical Brothers
Extremely successful and versatile English duo known for explosive live sets and touring with the likes of Oasis and the Flaming Lips.
RJD2
Although his latest, “The Third Hand,” is a stripped down, acoustic version, D2 remains the original electronic turntablist.
Sextronica
Hosted weekly by the two baddest bitches in the class of 2010, Lucy “DJ Masturbilia” Moore and Dalle “DJ Toponamia” Molle spin the best of new electronic music while still having time to wax poetic about the virtues of latex condoms. Tune in to KWUR Saturday nights at 1 a.m.!
