* Not an electronic band, but Jason Pierce of {{Spiritualized}} goes by his nickname of "J. Spaceman" quite frequently.

* JanelleMonae's alter ego is Cindi Mayweather, the android protagonist of her four-part ''Metropolis'' concept album.

* Future Folk are General Trius and The Mighty Kevin, who were originally sent to earth from the planet Hondo to kill off all human life and start a new settlement there.
