The Top 5........Electronic artists you should be listening to.

In the first installment of the 'Top 5', ill tell you the best electronic artists doing the rounds at the moment and why you should be listening to them. You will listen to them because whiteboydancefloor told you so ok? Good......

5. Matias Aguyao - He's deep, dark, funky and intriguing. The album 'Are You Really Lost' was met with critical acclaim, as it weaves through electronicas darker moments, it borders on sleaze and decadence.

4. Vitalic - Storming into the boiler room for Big Day Out '06, Vitalic's mix of rock infused electro will get you moving ever so slightly and reels out the synths and vocal samples you would expect from this side of electronica.

3. Boards Of Canada - Kings of ambient electronica, this Scottish tour de force deliever their new album 'The Campfire Headphase' with beauty and subelty. They will sweep you away but this one isnt for the white boy dancers in the building.

2. Xiu Xiu - Ill be honest, Xiu Xiu are scary. A mix of gitchy electronica, harder synths and Jaime Stwearts haunting vocals forge a sound that is difficult to listen to with the lights out. The music is tortured and possesed, and i love it.

1. The Juan McLean. LCD Soundsystem may be bigger, but DFA records real trump card is the Juan McLean. Less Than Human was one of last years best releases, and with its mix of Kraftwerk-esque beats and blips and slight disco and house tendencies, is ironically one of the most personable and emotive electronic records out at the moment.
