Different alternate tonal approaches, downbeat.  Male Vox in alt rock style.  Glitch beats and odd bass and synths.  Good arranging and production.    5, 9.  Second disk with ten remixes of track nine on disk one.

In contrast to Bunnies and Muffins, this is madly dark, crushing synths, noise, broken beats and SICK wobble bass. I was stunned. Play All: especially 2, 5, 8 voices [G5 Likes]

Composed, arranged and all instruments performed by David Y. Wang. Mix of 8-bit, actual instruments, wobble bass and other samples. Electro looped digital beats with bass, synths, guitar: all tasty stuff! This guy is madly [+] talented. 5, 10, 13

Tosca

Tosca is Dorfmeister with Rupert Huber.  They return here with another downbeat Zen album, this time without their female vocal crew.  You might hear a few voice overs, but very little vox.  I am a big fan of their reserved style, with more instruments and less electronica in this album than any before.

Play all.

Track 5 [not 7] is killer but sadly will not make it for FM.  Check it but DONT play it.

Electro house at it’s best. Big zynth bazz and 4×4 beats. Very tight drum mixing and programming. This is a pounding album, almost every track.

1, 2, FCC #5 – bummer, 7, 10

New Skool British electro hip hop with total crazy dubstep, and d’n’b style beats. RIYL Dizzie Rascal and Roots Manuva. Wicked beats that captivate on most every track. This is worth a full listen:

Try: 2, 3, 5, 7, 9

Notable for its eastern urban beats, check this eclectic mix of genre, with synths. Check out crazy Zep cover: 4! Eastern influenced electro-rock? G5 Likes

FCC #2 [with 1:45 remaining---track is so good might just bleep a couple seconds so you can play it!] 5,6,
