30!Miscellaneous:
31* There's no better way to start off this playlist... than with [[https://youtu.be/HEXWRTEbj1I an awesome Euro house song that reached memetic status in the Internet.]]
32* Time to [[https://youtu.be/nkA9IYsRpKA "Bring it On"]]!
33** Goose really likes this trope. [[https://youtu.be/FFoBZrMloDE "Synrise"]] and [[https://youtu.be/4-2IxfSsB3s "Words"]], from their second album ''Synrise'', are considered to be amongst their best songs.
34** However, none of their other stuff matches their first song from their first album, ''Bring It On''. This epicness is called... [[https://youtu.be/wi4immNjdag BLACK GLOVES.]]
35%%* DrumAndBass has been particularly epic in the last few years, noticeably tracks like [[https://youtu.be/KHFl3Cz4igw "Can You Feel" (Muffler)]], [[https://youtu.be/FACB8jh_T24 "Overdue" (Spor ft. Tasha Baxter)]], [[https://youtu.be/8AaKK7O-A0g "Snow" (Seba)]], [[https://youtu.be/0prFicLgXxw "Beautiful Lies" (B-Complex)]] and of course epic masterpieces like [[https://youtu.be/MwyrxrYYvfU "Siren Song" (Fanu)]], [[https://youtu.be/imp0BqHBxyQ "Sun King" (State of Mind)]] and the utterly jaw-dropping [[https://youtu.be/4ZWzh2GKy5A "Yearning (Apex VIP)"]] by Unknown Error. Also worthy of note is [[https://youtu.be/a2ViM6HE7O0 "The Journey" by Feint]].
36* Old-school DrumAndBass and jungle have produced some killer tracks:
37** [[https://youtu.be/D4Rbxu22rVc "Dancer"]] by Tom & Jerry boasts fast-paced drum beats mixed with some downright gorgeous backing instrumentals.
38** [[https://youtu.be/khE-vAY1Jgg "Coolin Out"]] by LTJ Bukem blends a relaxing ambient background with the frenetic drum beats typical of DrumAndBass.
39** [[https://youtu.be/fA69L_7nRKU "Links"]] by The Chameleon, while very long, also combines gorgeous ambient instrumentals with the fast drum beats typical in DrumAndBass, along with well-incorporated samples from ''Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff''.
40* Also from B-Complex: the insanely beautiful [[https://youtu.be/5cwDu2fwCx8 "Girl With Flower"]]. Who says electronic music doesn't have a soul?
41* Kevin Johnson's [[https://youtu.be/AsE_e49Xzk8 eurobeat cover of "Never Gonna Give You Up"]] takes a song that's become [[MemeticMutation meme status]] and makes it listenable.
42%%* Music/FatboySlim. [[https://youtu.be/R795KiMD4zs "Right Here, Right Now!"]].
43%%** "The weapon... [[https://youtu.be/sMZwZiU0kKs you can blow with this, you can blow with that...]]"
44%%** [[https://youtu.be/5gYcB9TcL_o Push the tempo, push the tempo, push the tempo, push the tempo]].
45%%** [[https://youtu.be/3k1comdW1Ig Gangster Trippin']].
46%%** [[https://youtu.be/FMrIy9zm7QY The Rockafeller Skank]].
47%%** [[https://youtu.be/1IK7dr2nk5o It's a wonderful night, just gotta take it from me, it's a wonderful night, come on and break it on down]].
48%%** [[https://youtu.be/Rc5fUgyLG_w And the sign said, long-haired freaky people, need not apply.]]
49%%** [[https://youtu.be/3w2kL_4vplU Eat, sleep, rave, repeat. Eat, sleep, rave, repeat.]]
50%%** [[https://youtu.be/XmKJOdRf_3s Fatboy Slim is f***ing in heaven.]]
51%%** [[https://youtu.be/ruAi4VBoBSM I have to celebrate you, baby. I have to praise you like I shooooooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuu...]]
52* Hiroshi Watanabe, under the alias "cranky," puts outs some amazing rave music. Take for example, [[https://youtu.be/7N-SuR5iVTE J219 "Ura-Rokkou mix"]], a remix of one of his own songs, or [[https://youtu.be/RQTkCa9rhvM "R176"]]. Or his collaboration with siromaru, [[https://youtu.be/e8HRTlkGD4Q "conflict"]], a song in a [[{{Conlang}} made-up language]] that has been featured in nearly 20 different {{Rhythm Game}}s.
53* Music/JeanMichelJarre has galloped out of the shadow of his father, film composer Music/MauriceJarre, to become one of electronic music's most successful artists. In chronological order:
54** ''Music/{{Oxygene}}'' was the artist's first commercial success for a very good reason. The fact that he recorded such an inspiring album ''in his kitchen'' (as he couldn't afford to rent a proper studio at the time) makes it all the more impressive. It was followed by not one but ''two'' sequel albums.
55** Jarre's follow-up album ''Music/{{Equinoxe}}'' further developed his sound by employing more dynamic and rhythmic elements, particularly a greater use of sequencing on bass lines. Nowhere is this demonstrated better than on [[https://youtu.be/fpWNimba344 "Part 4"]]. Its sequel album ''Equinoxe Infinity'' is just as awesome, with standout tracks including [[https://youtu.be/8iriXK2g3W4 "Flying Totems (Movement 2)"]], [[https://youtu.be/Wvs-DtxaQzA "Infinity (Movement 6)"]], and [[https://youtu.be/0Qb4DoAsGmE "The Opening (Movement 8)"]].
56** ''[[PunBasedTitle Les Chants Magnétiques]]'' AKA ''Magnetic Fields'' was the composer's first album to employ primarily digital synthesizers, including what would later become his trademark instrument, the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairlight_CMI Fairlight CMI]]. In that regard, it certainly doesn't disappoint. The highlight of the album may be either the [[EpicRocking 18 minute long]] [[https://youtu.be/JX5oI5YYIZM opening number]] or the insanely catchy [[https://youtu.be/ttIL4EnqXdU "Part 2"]].
57** From ''The Concerts in China'', [[https://youtu.be/kAVxn5MarUY "Arpeggiator"]] is possibly the greatest demonstration of the power of the titular synth feature. It's no surprise therefore that it found its way onto the soundtrack to ''Film/NineAndAHalfWeeks''.
58** From ''Zoolook'', [[https://youtu.be/cumHbQfmYmc "Ethnicolor"]], which just might be his artistic peak and '''awesomest''' music. Especially after 6:20 or so. (The studio version is better, though.)
59** [[https://youtu.be/hKirGBRLQik "Fourth Rendez-Vous"]] was an ethereal techno-dance song. Then the 1998 FIFA World Cup came to France, and now you have [[https://youtu.be/juHZcLzX9Fc "Rendez-Vous '98"]], a song that captures ''all the thrill and bombast of a FIFA World Cup finale''. Which of course was an Music/Apollo440 remix of the original "Fourth Rendez-Vous", which can't fail to uplift the spirits of anyone who hears it. There's a reason that Jarre still uses it in his live performances. After all, [[https://youtu.be/9SVfLoPHmOg the first live performance]] in Houston, Texas in 1986 is still utterly awesome even now.[[note]] Though tinged with sadness, as it was originally intended to feature a saxophone performance by Ron [=McNair=] live from the Space Shuttle ''Challenger''; [=McNair=] and his six crewmates were killed when the shuttle exploded shortly after liftoff in January 1986.[[/note]] From the same album (''Rendez-Vous''), we also have [[https://youtu.be/6ZxBuqStdTA "Second Rendez-vous"]], especially live versions, and ''full length'' (as in nearly 12 minutes) live versions in particular: SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic [[JustForFun/XMeetsY meets]] EpicRocking.
60** ''Chronologie'', according to the artist, was inspired by Creator/StephenHawking's cosmological treatise ''A Brief History of Time'', with the sound being based on a new wave of electronic dance music that had been developing since the late 1980s. And it is all epic. [[https://youtu.be/rTUDxRfNQUM "Part 1"]] is [[EpicRocking eleven minutes]] of pure awesome, while [[https://youtu.be/Tp8wRxx-2TY "Part 4"]] is a glorious ear worm.
61** His two-part album ''Electronica'' is an electronic music fan's wet dream, featuring Jarre collaborating with genre luminaries ranging from old fogies including [[Music/DepecheMode Vince]] [[Music/{{Erasure}} Clarke]], Creator/JohnCarpenter, Music/GaryNuman, and Music/{{Yello}}, to new voices such as Music/{{M83}}, Music/LittleBoots, Music/ArminVanBuuren, and Music/JuliaHolter. All of it will blow you away.
62* Anything on Music/VenetianSnares[='=] epic album ''Rossz csillag alatt született''. Here's the most well-known track: [[https://youtu.be/8rjyVF6a4xo "Szamár Madár"]].
63* Music/BoardsOfCanada. ''Music Has The Right To Children'' is just about perfect. As for tracks, the sublime and just about a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}} of its own, go with [[https://youtu.be/2UYQqeLvHns "Olson"]]. Other than that, all their music could qualify.
64* "[[https://youtu.be/FQlAEiCb8m0 Music Sounds Better With You]]" by Stardust. Well, what do you expect when you work with ''[[Music/DaftPunk Thomas Bangalter]]''?
65* Orbital, the full 15-minute version of "Are We Here?". Also Lush 3/Impact/Remind trilogy ESPECIALLY live. "Belfast" is also good, but live it's unbelievable.
66* [[https://youtu.be/8Y0JD4dqEIo "Rock Into the Future"]] by 1200 Micrograms.
67** Their entire first record is pure awesome. Every song maintains the psytrance but also does a good job reflecting the drugs in use. LSD is particularly epic and Mescaline uses samples from ''Literature/FearAndLoathingInLasVegas''! Sweet!
68** [[https://youtu.be/9csgJkEG86s "Acid for Nothing"]] is equally amazing. Who'd guess that Dire Straits' "Money for Nothing" would sound so awesome with a bass drum!
69* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic with an Awesome Music Video to go with it: [[https://youtu.be/etWi1bOotd0 "DVNO"]] by Justice, featuring very professional parodies of {{Vanity Plate}}s and other logos.
70** Even more insanely awesome by them? Their live mixing of "Waters of Nazareth" into "Phantom Pt 2"!
71** Movie logos and VanityPlates not your thing? How about moving [[https://youtu.be/sy1dYFGkPUE 80's pop shirts?]] For bonus points, it sounds like the Jackson 5 got with them!
72** From their first album, Cross: The aforementioned "D.A.N.C.E.", "DVNO", the original [[https://youtu.be/slmU0C1NbQw "Waters of Nazareth"]], the two part [[https://youtu.be/LoZ8l40RpeE "Phan]][[https://youtu.be/5QCBkwmsOk0 tom"]], and their opener that's so awesome, it's the opener of EVERY LIVE ALBUM THEY'VE EVER DONE, [[https://youtu.be/VKzWLUQizz8 "Genesis"]].
73** From their second album Audio, Video, Disco: [[https://youtu.be/SVq2yMuAMVQ "Civilization"]], "Canon", [[https://youtu.be/oWL8RogROr8 "On'n'On"]], [[https://youtu.be/Gxu248aD6PY "New Lands"]], [[https://youtu.be/BYY1iTyWa54 "Helix"]], and the title track and closer [[https://youtu.be/lqBhgEQ4LT0 "Audio, Video, Disco"]].
74** While they took a long break, their new single with Tame Impala, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3V6rjyL_63U "One Night/All Night"]], is a great mix of all their styles, as well as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZX83_kg_n5c "Generator"]].
75* Darude. [[https://youtu.be/4ZXPP7qMSz4 "Sandstorm"]]. A fantastic euro-trance song, unfortunately overshadowed by the fact that it's used on Youtube to mislead people who ask the song on a video. And if the original is too short for your taste, [[https://youtu.be/c6FIYt6CGfs better go with an extended remix.]]
76* Regarding pioneers, Music/{{Autechre}} has been arguably defining the very concept of electronic music since their debut LP ''Incunabula''. They have changed styles several times and in the most unpredictable ways, ranging from the bizarre abstraction of ''Confield'' to the heavenly glory of ''Oversteps'', all the way to the frantic, bloodcurling beats of ''Gantz Graf''. SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic? Try [[https://youtu.be/aFm87ncj-Xc "Treale"]].
77* [[https://youtu.be/zSgiXGELjbc "A Glorious Dawn"]], a remix of Creator/CarlSagan's narration from ''Series/CosmosAPersonalVoyage''. "If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe." The [[http://www.symphonyofscience.com/ Symphony of Science]], by John Boswell, has produced fifteen songs so far including the preceding in the same style. [[https://youtu.be/XGK84Poeynk "We Are All Connected"]] and [[https://youtu.be/vioZf4TjoUI "Our Place In The Cosmos"]] are also absolutely amazing.
78* Music/{{Moby}}:
79** [[https://youtu.be/rnj8IIY7bSk "Raining Again"]]. Everything from Moby's singing to the sliding guitar arpeggios in the chorus to the sassy female harmonization in the home stretch of the song.
80** And from his earlier works, "Next is the E". and "Electricity". And "Go". And "[[MeaningfulName Thousand]]". As in, 1000 BPM.
81** Moby meant "Bodyrock" to be a "stupid song to jump up and down to." [[https://youtu.be/BpeSGYY1HZA Mission accomplished.]]
82** Quite possibly the most sinister and haunting song in Moby's catalogue, [[https://youtu.be/Hy_oabU77GY "Alice"]]. The video looks like something the [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos Slender Man]] directed, so be warned.
83%%** "Porcelain" is a legendary song.
84%%** As is [[https://youtu.be/rU_dmrwom6c "Lift Me Up"]].
85* [[http://freemusicarchive.org/music/glomag/Live_At_The_Blip_Festival_2009/07_Fan_Service "Fan Service"]] by Glomag, one of the nicest examples of chiptunes.
86* Prodigy's [[https://youtu.be/6_PAHbqq-o4 "Breathe"]] [[https://youtu.be/wmin5WkOuPw "Firestarter"]] and [[https://youtu.be/svJvT6ruolA "No Good (Start the Dance)"]], to name a few epic songs by them.
87** Then there's [[https://youtu.be/sdiKz91Azjs "One Love"]] from their ''Jilted Generation'' era. Absolutely hypnotic.
88** [[https://youtu.be/aQZDbBGBJsM "Spitfire"]] is roughly the audible equivalent to punching someone in the mouth.
89%%* [[https://youtu.be/P-n7Svddh-I The Gamelatron]].
90* DJ Tiesto's [[https://youtu.be/55_qWp_P_9I "Elements of Life"]]. Or anything else by the man, for that matter.
91** The whole ''Parade of the Athletes'' album, performed live on the opening ceremony of the 2004 Athens Olympics for extra awesome. In particular, his mixes of [[https://youtu.be/uiQXHT9255M Albinoni's]] and [[https://youtu.be/cJujSL-0tOw Barber's]] Adagios, [[https://youtu.be/bGJkB1ut0qY "Heroes"]], and [[https://youtu.be/7wbS0AjOMYY "Forever Today"]].
92** If [[https://youtu.be/kEvE_04x-xI "Silence"]] isn't Awesome Music, then nothing is.
93* [[https://youtu.be/16RCvtziXj0 "Chicken on The Rocks"]] by Jean Jacques-Perrey & Dana Countryman. That combined with [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark Randy Marsh and all of the South Park men bouncing on their testicular cancer-enduced ballsacks]] result in [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments certain hilarity]].
94* Black Moth Super Rainbow has unleashed numerous instances of this: For example, [[https://youtu.be/fmvOA_-cJnw "Drippy Eye"]].
95* The whole Music/{{Ladytron}} discography is awesome. If you like quality SynthPop you'll will love this band. %%Time for their most representative singles from each album:
96%%** [[https://youtu.be/qMH6wljk4Xw "Playgirl".]]
97%%** [[https://youtu.be/s6jaYJx7yeI "Seventeen".]]
98%%** [[https://youtu.be/JTTwlAT_AwU "Destroy Everything You Touch".]]
99%%** [[https://youtu.be/9yaEwcmrR4Q "Ghosts".]]
100%%** [[https://youtu.be/8mSFL3h9Lgw "Mirage".]]
101* Music/{{Kraftwerk}}, anyone?
102** [[https://youtu.be/eSBybJGZoCU I'm the operator with my Pocket Calculator...]]
103** [[https://youtu.be/LltvublTy9A Meeeeeeeeeeeeetrooooooooooopoliiiiiiiiiiiisssss!!!]]
104** Not to mention the amazing [[https://youtu.be/Yt3p-F2x7rY Tour de France]]. [[https://youtu.be/RChQdh36cS4 Made even better by Francois Kevorkian.]]
105%%** The Man Machine, Machine, Machine, Machine, Machine, Machine, Machine, Machine, [[OverlyLongGag Machiiiine...MAAAAACHIIIIIINE]]
106%%** Wir fahr'n fahr'n fahr'n auf die Autobahn...
107* Music/KlausSchulze has had a massive solo career, but the organic, soaring, otherworldly ''Moondawn'' takes the cake. The sound and flowing rhythms from the original master still hold up today.
108* Fuck Buttons. They have the ability to make music that is amazingly catchy, while being polyphonic AND quite often polyrhythmic. And they do it on fucked up kids toys.
109* Music/FerryCorsten. Exhibit A: [[https://youtu.be/04Uuarao5hM "Fire"]].
110** ''[[https://youtu.be/q739ZlkOgfQ L.E.F.]]'', that and the album art.
111** Ferry's remixes aren't half-bad either. Here's one for Music/{{Moby}}'s [[https://youtu.be/79NMbpjX9Rg "Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?"]] and another of William Orbit's cover of [[https://youtu.be/4opHv2BG4fY "Barber's Adagio For Strings"]].
112** And when Dutch artists combine, the result is exponentially more awesome. Ferry and Music/{{Tiesto}} makes [[https://youtu.be/briVKxMcU0c "Gouryella"]]. Ferry and Music/ArminVanBuuren makes [[https://youtu.be/uG0x0dobSQc "Exhale"]] and [[https://youtu.be/yybsiJRZX9w "Brute"]]. Ferry and Vincent de Moor makes [[https://youtu.be/bB-pjp6k-xI "Carte Blanche"]].
113* Give it up for Industrial Music:
114** :WUMPSCUT:. Their sound molds Industrial with house music. It worked well! '''Examples''': "We Believe We Believe", "Jesus Antichristus", "Mother","Wolf", "Fuckit".
115** Combichrist. Don't let their NightmareFuel thematics fool you. Their music WILL raise your blood pressure. '''Examples''': "I Want Your Blood", "What the Fuck is Wrong with You", "Sent to Destroy", "Shut Up and Bleed" and "This is My Rifle".
116** Laibach. They have an incredibly distinctive sound, mixing booming industrial beats with folk music. '''Examples''': "Yisrael", a mashup of the Palestinian and Israeli national anthems.
117** VNV Nation. The [[TropeMaker Trope Makers]] of the ''beautiful'' genre called Futurepop. Listen to them right NOW!!! '''Examples''': "Industrial Love", "Arclight".
118** Covenant. Their music ranges from lovely tear-jerking futurepop songs, all the way to fistpump-friendly industrial dance. '''Examples''': "Bullet", "We Stand Alone", "20 Hz", "Wir Sind Die Nacht".
119** mind.in.a.box. Want a journey in an amazing alternate reality? Go ahead and listen to them. '''Examples''': "Identity", "Walking", "What Used To Be", "Change".
120** Centhron. Viking metal meets industrial music. Yes, it's awesome. '''Examples''': "Tanz im Sternefeuer", "Asgard", "Einheit C".
121** Skinny Puppy. If you don't love them... You don't like industrial music in general. '''Examples''': "Useless", "Worlok", "Testure", "Pro-Test".
122** Neuroticfish. Another awesome futurepop act, which crosses industrial with progressive trance. '''Examples''': "The Bomb".
123** Assemblage 23. Their sound is incredibly cryptic, and will really enter in your mind in no time. '''Examples''': "Damaged".
124** Xotox. Their sound is raw, aggressive, and no holds barred. '''Examples''': "[Xo]toxic" and "Mechanische Unruhe".
125** Emika. Dark and eerie, just the way gothic industrial should be. '''Examples''': "Double Edge ([=GeRM=] remix)".
126* IndustrialMetal is no slouch either.
127** Music/NineInchNails. Bypass their way too over-the-top thematics, and ANYTHING made by them becomes this. '''Examples''': "The Hand That Feeds", "Discipline", "We're In This Together", "Head Like a Hole", "Closer".
128** Ministry. The TropeMakers of industrial metal. They have to be awesome! '''Examples''': "Jesus Built My Hotrod"
129** Music/MarilynManson. '''Examples''': "This Is The New Shit".
130** Music/{{Rammstein}}. [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff Americans love them]] for a reason that should be obvious. Their industrial metal is truly overwhelming. '''Examples''': "Du Hast", "Ohne Dich", "Feuer Frei!", "Ich Tu Dir Weh", "Mein Land".
131** Music/RobZombie. A long career and he still makes the great industrial metal he's known for. '''Examples''': "Dragula", "Never Gonna Stop".
132** Music/FearFactory. Easily the most hardhitting, relentless and pounding industrial metal band in the scene. Their music is amazing, [[DifficultButAwesome but can be pretty inaccessible at first.]] '''Examples''': "Shock", "Powershifter", "Cars", "Demanufacture", "The Industrialist".
133* Classic industrial...
134** Foetus. [[https://youtu.be/bVnwPBmtuUE SHOULDER TO SHOULDER TO DETONATOR, ENTER THE EXTERMINATOR]]
135** Throbbing Gristle. Ever since 'The Second Annual Report', TG have had a discography full of haunting, powerful tracks to scare the listener, including the classic [[https://youtu.be/mzDvpT-MjYs "Hamburger Lady"]], which was based of a report about a woman's skin which was [[BodyHorror so burnt it looked like hamburger meat]].
136* Music/TheBirthdayMassacre, one of the best bands ever, write incredibly catchy and well done music. Their style could be described as synthpop-industrial-alternative rock-metal. Also, they're Canadian.
137** '''Examples''': [[https://youtu.be/8NPgVESNjPg "Happy Birthday"]], [[https://youtu.be/qWO20a6a5bw "Horror Show"]], [[https://youtu.be/kp1FRKc24Zk "Blue"]], [[https://youtu.be/a41S3dp_U_s "Video Kid"]], [[https://youtu.be/3gsFgoHSs18 "Red Stars"]], [[https://youtu.be/vkXqyF8BXQ0 "Walking With Strangers"]], [[https://youtu.be/4yoI9NG7Nd0 "Goodnight"]], [[https://youtu.be/SREZ-ggSDjM "Looking Glass"]], [[https://youtu.be/b6QYT5KyUIc "Shallow Grave"]], [[https://youtu.be/tLOfluH8mgQ "In the Dark"]], [[https://youtu.be/vQXlFOyhje4 "Down"]], [[https://youtu.be/_LbGyvNXPXY "Calling"]].
138** Their live performances are amazing. '''Proof:''' [[https://youtu.be/bfNZ1qql6F0 these]] [[https://youtu.be/pPSsP_coMkA three]] [[https://youtu.be/eX-eei_qNRg concerts]].
139* The Knife. "Heartbeats", "Marble House", and "Pass This On" are examples of how awesome the Dreijer siblings are. And Karin is awesome in her own merit, each re-listen to the ''Fever Ray'' album yields new quirks in the songs.
140* [[https://youtu.be/g6iIKeAbRP8 "Score (Original mix)"]] by Slyder. Especially the buildup at 3:42. Definitely a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome. Even more awesome when driving to it in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto 3''.
141* [[https://youtu.be/tV0POOH9mMk "High"]] by Peter Moesser and Harold Faltermeyer. Just an upbeat electronic song from TheSeventies that's somewhat ahead of its time.
142* [[https://youtu.be/9xxENiPxxWo "Biocandy"]] by [=Chi-A.D.=]. Merely listening to it will get you high without drugs.
143* Music/{{UNKLE}}'s [[https://youtu.be/M5PYv8Ppsjg "Burn My Shadow"]] is just... epic. As is [[https://youtu.be/bT3NU7lAoFk his remix of]] [[Music/QueensOfTheStoneAge "No One Knows."]] Eerie, yet beautiful.
144* Renard Queenston: One of his best tracks is [[https://youtu.be/NHKUDEhsVFY "The Castle"]].
145%%* Eiffel 65.
146* [[https://youtu.be/zDr_k5SLpoA Every]] [[https://youtu.be/LaIZ0mUJzr0 remix]] [[https://youtu.be/bg1PIMWtI7I by]] [[https://youtu.be/FMdXOqq3WL4 Skrillex.]] ''Especially'' "Cinema" (the second link).

152%%** "[[https://youtu.be/dIDDkmxv0tA I-I-I-I-I... shot the DJ!]]"
153* A couple of years before Music/FatboySlim, Norman Cook headed a trio with two producers to form a group called Pizzaman. They were awesome. [[https://youtu.be/OGnBKIwtk64 Here's one of their hits.]]
154* Nero - [[https://youtu.be/1S35THmZD_E "Innocence"]].
155** Their masterpiece, and what is regarded to be the best song in ''VideoGame/{{Forza}} Horizon'', [[https://youtu.be/bE47er6qnqg "Me And You"]].
156** Their debut album, ''Welcome Reality'', is considered by bassheads the new pinnacle of dubstep. Other than "Me And You" and "Innocence", there is [[https://youtu.be/YWK6dQOdri0 "Crush On You"]], with its ''brutal''-as-DeathMetal drop.
157%%*** [[https://youtu.be/r1ATFedwjnk "Guilt".]]

162* Blackmill, the master of chillstep, a sub-genre Dubstep which goes for a calmer, more relaxing feel. Any of his songs are awesome examples, but those that are especially outstanding include [[https://youtu.be/iPT8DA32U6U "Fortune Soul"]], [[https://youtu.be/LxFk9-UhY_Y "The Light"]], and [[https://youtu.be/sDI6HTR9arA "Let It Be (feat.

163%%* Joujouka, especially [[https://youtu.be/hiHIyqgAteI "Rock is Sponge"]], featured in ''{{VideoGame/Rez}}'''s fourth stage.
164* Future Perfect's second album, ''Escape'' is definitely awesome. Especially [[https://youtu.be/RAhJVGj_Fv8 Paradise]].
165* Dan Deacon. If you've never heard his music before, [[https://youtu.be/Z1dOovoMlRs this]] would be the best introductory song.
166* Music/{{Deadmau5}} is called The King of [[LeetLingo Hau5]] with good reason. Just listen to [[https://youtu.be/tKi9Z-f6qX4 "Strobe"]], with its drop that can [[ManlyTears make a grown man cry]]. Or, if you're more a fan of hard, concentrated awesomeness, try [[https://youtu.be/SNXuQJo94pc "Animal Rights"]].
167* [[https://youtu.be/jDMGv3hNMes "Discord" by Odessey]], even non-bronies can enjoy the awesome music produced by bronies.
168* ''Endtroducing'' by Music/DJShadow. An hour of perfection, proving that sampling can be made to create outstanding music, and possibly the crowning example of beautiful music in all trip hop along with ''[[Music/MassiveAttack Mezzanine]]'' and ''[[Music/{{Portishead}} Dummy]]''.
169* Andy Hunter proved that ''Christian'' music can be awesome, by making a disc of Christian Techno. and it is incredible. Two noteworthy tracks include [[https://youtu.be/HX2nD2S6Zro "Sandstorm Calling"]], which managed to make it onto the mobile edition of [[Lumines]], and [[https://youtu.be/d7ZqMWhIeTY "Amazing"]], which is just plain epic.
170* [[https://youtu.be/RJELF0XGhSY Phantom of the Opera]], done in a Techno style. The video is a nice bonus.
171* Music/{{Goldfrapp}}, all the time. From their downtempo release ''Felt Mountain'', to their IntercourseWithYou-filled electroclash gem ''Black Cherry'', then the glamrock-influenced epicness called ''Supernature'', then the LighterAndSofter ''Seventh Tree'', and in the end the synthpop-influenced album ''Head First'', where to start? They're amazing! ''Tales of Us'' continues the trend, this time going back to basics and returning to the band's outright ethereal DreamPop sound in ''Felt Mountain''. What to say other than... '''It's amazing and you must listen to it right now.'''
172* [[https://youtu.be/8VX_orMZHuU "Falling Up"]] by Collide. If you can't stand waiting, skip to [[https://youtu.be/8VX_orMZHuU# 3:27]]. It gets epic from there...
173* Music/TheChemicalBrothers have produced several extremely awesome tunes, including [[http://youtu.be/Qk948401iGc Hey Boy Hey Girl]], [[http://youtu.be/Zptmvzg6x0U Galvanize]] and [[http://youtu.be/fpNrYyGdi84 Do It Again]]. They are Britain's answer to Music/DaftPunk. And [[https://youtu.be/0S43IwBF0uM "Star Guitar"]] will have you dancing in your desk chair.
174* Like The Chemical Brothers? Then don't miss out the ones who are considered the United States's answer to them, The Crystal Method! [[https://youtu.be/pSZAeEN_dLc "Name Of The Game"]], [[https://youtu.be/ZNeXVSt8E80 "Drown In The Now"]], [[https://youtu.be/nI55O8pNTWA "Weapons of Mass Distortion"]], and their SignatureSong [[https://youtu.be/n3N_Lkgftc4 "Keep Hope Alive"]] are tunes that every true electronic music fan worships.
175* If you're a fan of electronic music, it's impossible to listen to music from [[https://www.youtube.com/user/MonstercatMedia/videos Monstercat]] and walk away unsatisfied. From [[https://youtu.be/ITkvRT8eYd8 soothing trance]] to [[https://youtu.be/qqu-QUHqk2g moving Progressive House]], from [[https://youtu.be/_ZIkk0eCm-c thumping fast hardstyle]] to [[https://youtu.be/QKEewWiyVPE soft slow dubstep]], from [[https://youtu.be/p4b9DVRe2HY drum and bass]] to [[https://youtu.be/PFH1aEjKfjE drumstep]] and [[https://youtu.be/6R9FfC0Sen8 everything]] [[https://youtu.be/MRkUw3uc324 in between]], this label of independent artists has it all. And then there's [[https://youtu.be/DFT6qm3oIjg Hello.]]
176* From Music/{{Underworld|Band}}, we have the immortal [[https://youtu.be/TlLWFa1b1Bc "Born Slippy",]] and "Dark & Long" from ''Music/{{dubnobasswithmyheadman}}''.
177* DJ Cloud has some freaking amazing trance music. He can be found on Newgrounds and some of his videos can be found on youtube. For starters, [[https://youtu.be/DHa6t6ObyIk Heaven]] and [[https://youtu.be/xRnhnHNQabY Escape]].
178* Nalepa's "Monday," as remixed by the Glitch Mob. [[https://youtu.be/w2gXF72Ie-4 Especially with a supercut of 100 sci-fi movies past and present.]]
179%%* [[https://youtu.be/l3Xg_3CE3_k "Searching for the Spark"]] by Steve Hillage, on the album ''Live Herald'', recorded live at the Marquee Club in 1978. [[labelnote:*]](Select the highest playback quality: it does make a difference to the sound.)[[/labelnote]]
180%%* Any song from LFO. The British techno/IDM act '''L'''ow '''F'''requency '''O'''scillator, mind you, not the [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant American boy band]] '''L'''yte '''F'''unky '''O'''nes. Check out [[https://youtu.be/wfdk_EM3kPU Tied Up]], [[https://youtu.be/Jkg0jY7quY8 We Are Back]], [[https://youtu.be/pl24tKqsFC8 Freak]], and [[https://youtu.be/llSATPHMlCE Shut Down]]. The last one is notable because it was featured in the highly underrated 1998 PC game ''{{VideoGame/Hardwar}}''.
181%%* [[https://youtu.be/egl0KRh8jcE "Phat Planet"]].
182%%* [[https://youtu.be/ygLlyNkyOBw Energy Flow]] by Vitae.
183* This one might be leaning on HellIsThatNoise territory, but it doesn't stop [[https://youtu.be/8LoUnvRM9ig Reverse Engineering]] by Rockwell from being awesome. After all, it is a backwards drum and bass track.
184** More eerie [[https://youtu.be/lLHjbf_-sQI awesomeness]] from Rockwell.
185** Also, [[https://youtu.be/jLQHjY3Qa4M BTKRSH.]] One of the better songs of ''Videogame/{{Wipeout}} 2048''.
186* [[https://youtu.be/rrWb-EnLNrA "Screw Up"]] by Overseer, featured on the ''[[VideoGame/{{SSX}} SSX 3]]'' soundtrack.
187%%* KOAN Sound is nothing short of amazing sometimes. Try [[https://youtu.be/Sq7Fw-mcn3U "Happy Hipsters"]], [[https://youtu.be/7kgIDdWwxUg "Meanwhile, In The Future"]], [[https://youtu.be/1nMe23oI54o "Sly Fox"]] and [[https://youtu.be/mpokVJjCRfo "Funk Blaster"]] on for size.
188* Music/ToddEdwards is a very great Garage[=/=]HouseMusic producer, and a sampling genius. [[https://youtu.be/7X5R0hYYseE "Come Unto Me"]], [[https://youtu.be/9S8Fb_uj2Zg "Time to Care"]], and [[https://youtu.be/UGVZWWHQbhA "Perfect Love"]] are all fantastic tracks. To say nothing of [[https://youtu.be/JcA1jS38clg his]] ''[[https://youtu.be/FKt8KNUS_fE remixes...]]''
189%%* Music/TheAvalanches' ''Since I Left You'' is a whole album of awesome music, but after [[https://youtu.be/qZbJdcE6cL8 "Avalanche Rock"]] and starting with [[https://youtu.be/IvWsfyapD2Y "Flight Tonight"]], the album starts getting ''really'' good.
190* Avicii:
191** [[https://youtu.be/O_SNQh6zuQo "Levels"]] is considered the absolute gold standard in Big Room House. Listen to it for yourself, and prepare to shed a few ManlyTears. Also [[https://youtu.be/MITA4FhVjDc Skrillex's epic remix of it.]]
192** [[https://youtu.be/IcrbM1l_BoI Wake Me Up]] and [[https://youtu.be/6Cp6mKbRTQY Hey Brother]] mix in soul and folk for a delicious electronic treat that must be heard to be believed.
193* Debates over whether "Levels" ''is'' the gold standard become a lot tougher once you bring Music/SwedishHouseMafia into the equation, as almost all of their original songs can be classified as "awesome"
194** Their anthemic [[https://youtu.be/1y6smkh6c-0 "Don't You Worry Child"]] and its ''monster'' drop. What makes it even more awesome is that it was their last single together. Catchy chorus? Check. Aforementioned monster drop? Check. Uplifting, hopeful lyrics that could arguably serve as some kind of message to their fans? All there. What an ''amazing'' way to go out.
195** Same goes for their signature song "Save the World". But then, when they bring [[https://youtu.be/oK2OYza8Msg a remix of said song by Knife Party and Arty's remix of "Punk" into the equation...]] During their final shows, just when you thought they couldn't top themselves, [[https://youtu.be/mQRdD-ivCXA#t=21s the One Last Tour finale]] segues it into the Sebastian Ingrosso/Tommy Trash collaboration "Reload" (along with a "Don't You Worry Child" reprise). This isn't just a monster drop, it's a monster ''slam it at the ground and watch it explode into a million pieces.''
196** They remixed Music/{{Coldplay}}'s "[[https://youtu.be/G3H8OZZeVO8 Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall]]", with pleasing results.
197** [[https://youtu.be/hBRKSIj2tMc "Greyhound"]] is usually one of the opening songs SHM uses for their live shows, and for good reason - with its raving synths, pounding kickdrum and roaring bass, fists everywhere pumped in the air.
198** "Miami 2 Ibiza (ft. Tinie Tempah)" deserves a special mention, partly because of its AcronymAndAbbreviationOverload lyrics. Which make the song even better.
199** Then Music/KnifeParty decided to collaborate with them to create "Antidote".
200** "Reload" now has a vocal version with John Martin (the same vocalist from the aforementioned "Save the World" and "Don't You Worry Child"). [[https://youtu.be/HB3gQHdLRYo Just when you thought things couldn't get any more epic...]]
201** The ultra-ear-wormy [[https://youtu.be/PkQ5rEJaTmk One (Your Name) (ft. Pharrell).]]
202* Going solo, Axwell's premiere of the then untitled Sick Individuals collaboration "[[https://youtu.be/_w2L30ufa_E I Am]]" caused quite a stir one New Year's Eve night in Dallas.
203* The whole of Mind.in.a.box's ''R.E.T.R.O.'', especially the remixes of the themes from ''The Last Ninja 3'' and ''Lightforce'', and ChrisHuelsbeck's ''Shades''.
204* Music/VNVNation has some incredibly beautiful tunes; soothing, uplifting and energetic all at once.
205%%** [[https://youtu.be/h_fLkbxnoGA "Carry You".]]
206%%** [[https://youtu.be/glfH5c_1hYE "Homeward".]]
207%%** [[https://youtu.be/EUdYhkgPfcc "Sentinel".]]
208* From world-renowned Welsh electronic group Hybrid:
209** [[https://youtu.be/3TTl4d5IqJo "Snyper"]] is on a whole new level of awesome.
210** Hybrid also made some awesome breakbeat-influenced trance songs. [[https://youtu.be/_oeslAqeTEc "Finished Symphony"]], [[https://youtu.be/BBDIbFp1F2E "I Choose Noise"]] and [[https://youtu.be/puQTB-mdeQk "Disappear Here"]] are of indication.
211** Even better, they appeared in ''VideoGame/SaintsRowTheThird'', with another awesome piece, [[https://youtu.be/xB-6ATu4EUw "Dogstar"]].
212** Like Hybrid? Are you a Playstation fan? Then rejoice: "Be Here Now", has been featured in the [=E3=] trailer for ''Driveclub'', a Playstation 4 launch title/exclusive.
213* Searching for good {{trance}} music? Look no further than these three amazing labels: Armada, Coldharbour Recordings, and Anjunabeats. Here is a small appetizer of what these three labels have to offer:
214** Arty: [[https://youtu.be/SE7umozOhtE "Together We Are"]], [[https://youtu.be/vHji_vZZ7gc "Trio"]], [[https://youtu.be/u6MLjDwiUoA "Must Be The Love" (alongside BT)]], [[https://youtu.be/Kmp3MguaTSA "Rebound"]]. The latter has also a few DrumAndBass influences. After all, Arty, for "Rebound", collaborated with another renowned electro house artist, Mat Zo, who has also made a few drum 'n' bass pieces.
215** Music/MarkusSchulz, who can seamlessly make soothing tracks and faster, harder dance tracks like second nature: [[https://youtu.be/-IawKDSgHrg "The Spiritual Gateway"]], [[https://youtu.be/rJsa874me5c "Scream"]], [[https://youtu.be/xgYlti12K5Y "The New World"]], [[https://youtu.be/vZbHbEO5c30 "Caught"]], [[https://youtu.be/kQoLQEWvJOk "Bayfront (Miami)"]], [[https://youtu.be/tvZp8mS78fw "Seven Sins"]] and [[https://youtu.be/zmpAbWH6AlY "Destiny"]]. For his DarkerAndEdgier alter ego Dakota, there's [[https://youtu.be/FZxI-Zv076E "Cathedral (Montreal)"]], [[https://youtu.be/C3ZysYu_ibQ "Sinners"]] and [[https://youtu.be/6FD0UmSHltU "In a Green Valley"]].
216** Music/ArminVanBuuren: While his portfolio is very extensive, just to name a few, there's [[https://youtu.be/bS5BGyRweUQ "Communication"]], [[https://youtu.be/J7lVUFhtWlU "Not Giving Up On Love"]], [[https://youtu.be/g8pT1IAAZ9A "Status Excessu D"]], [[https://youtu.be/whPybSa4AUs "The Expedition"]] (made in collaboration with Markus Schulz), and [[https://youtu.be/6UoNXz0Ox-g "Intense"]]. At Ultra 2014, he did an entire set with Benno de Goeij under their "Gaia" persona; you haven't seen anything until you've heard [[http://www.1001tracklists.com/tracklist/46952_gaia-armin-van-buuren-at-a-state-of-trance-650-new-horizons-stage-ultra-music-festival-miami-2014-03-30.html two people playing trance]] InTheHood (literally).
217** London producer Ilan Bluestone, or simply just Bluestone, has a sound that blends trance with big room house, with his tunes [[https://youtu.be/ZxI3bmPLIdE "Frozen Ground"]], [[https://youtu.be/6G4h7N-I3UQ "Bigger Than Love"]] - both featuring singer Giuseppe de Luca, and the eye-wateringly beautiful [[https://youtu.be/GItdFX9V8xQ "Sinai"]]. He is capable of making some pure trance bangers too, especially [[https://youtu.be/Qf_fleQeAdE "Spheres"]].
218** Jorn van Deynhoven, be it an original of his or a remix. His tracks are usually very energetic and are especially effective at hooking listeners right from the beginning of the song. Some noteworthy tracks are [[https://youtu.be/JW_-o7KmqyQ "Black Hole"]], [[https://youtu.be/XlDb99t-HHI "Still"]], and [[https://youtu.be/SK2DsKwXAY0 "Spotlight"]]. [[https://youtu.be/WSqS7brMVac There's even a 1 hour 42 minute mash-up of his different originals or remixes on youtube!]].
219** Nitrous Oxide has a knack for bringing in more audio layers in an amazingly smooth and fluid manner. Memorable songs include [[https://youtu.be/m25HFRIHVx0 "Dreamcatcher (Club Mix)"]], [[https://youtu.be/dpLGaxrI0LI "Red Moon Slide"]], and [[https://youtu.be/K12xcf-elsk "North Pole"]].
220** Above & Beyond, with their soulful, and incredibly energetic trance. [[https://youtu.be/ZgRnLM9Vi24 "Thing Called Love"]], [[https://youtu.be/ZfdXbJptvos "You Got To Go"]], [[https://youtu.be/IYDYjvLOZZw "On My Way To Heaven"]], [[https://youtu.be/KINbjhAV0qU "Walter White"]][[note]]Yes, they've done a FilkSong for ''Series/BreakingBad''.[[/note]], [[https://youtu.be/7m8_tM05_Sw "Tri-State"]]... Hell, we're better off not putting out too much examples or our brains will implode due to all the awesomeness A&B invokes in their songs.
221** Andrew Bayer, considered the unofficial fourth member of Above & Beyond, has blessed our ears and minds with the utterly incomparable [[https://youtu.be/X1JaNKTRMlY "Once Lydian"]]. There's a reason why A&B still play this in their sets to this day.
222** W&W have beats that would definitely put a smile on our face. There's [[https://youtu.be/dwlYKWeYEoM "DNA"]], [[https://youtu.be/VVoiG8LEQ8c "D# Fat" (made with Armin!)]], [[https://youtu.be/xkkLlNyhIQM "Moscow"]] and [[https://youtu.be/KHYJH_V-94s "Lift Off"]], just to name a few.
223** Tritonal, a duo from [[UsefulNotes/{{Texas}} the Lone Star State]], have combined trance with ElectroHouse to make something beautiful. There's [[https://youtu.be/d60pMrjdkxo "Slave"]], [[https://youtu.be/20cbN-QAzL0 "Electric Glow"]] and [[https://youtu.be/j_8w5Ucw8jo "Still With Me"]] to start off.
224** Omnia has some truly massive tracks that need no vocals to get the emotion across. We have [[https://youtu.be/gGXv2J14glY "The Fusion"]], [[https://youtu.be/FZ5-8QRavRw "Infina"]], [[https://youtu.be/A56TNNHW2sE "Immersion"]], and [[https://youtu.be/Gg7eDhrqM3g "Reflex"]].
225** RAM is all about taking the uplifting sound to new heights. [[https://youtu.be/k_X0aTIcVXA " RAMplify"]], [[https://youtu.be/r1ZA1OGjzss "RAMsterdam"]], and possibly his SignatureSong, [[https://youtu.be/fSlT0p5fRRo "RAMelia (Tribute to Amelia)"]], a GriefSong made as a tribute to his wife who had suddenly passed away. Amelia could not have asked for a better, more heart-touching tribute. Its follow-up, [[https://youtu.be/XeTpvzdXsyA "Someone Like You"]] (particularly the remix between RAM and Standerwick) is also worth mentioning.
226** Move over, Armin van Buuren. Menno de Jong is in the house, and [[https://youtu.be/cOuMF2g-bKI Set to Sail]].
227** Grum makes some pretty genre-defying tunes. You can't tell if it's [[https://youtu.be/kO1CIcVSyLY deep house]], [[https://youtu.be/0XpYwFKYIec trance]], or [[https://youtu.be/D3qDampcHRA electro house]], or [[https://youtu.be/mBtvLAZ0LTY all three at the same time]], but you can definitely say that it's awesome.
228* John O'Callahan is a GenreBuster within trance, a style best described as a blend of uplifting, progressive, and tech, and brings that distinct style into both his original productions and remixes. [[https://youtu.be/NAhEmerDOg0 "Pyramid"]], [[https://youtu.be/mVjRRpnunR4 his remix of Mike Foyle's "Shipwrecked"]], [[https://youtu.be/TN_wi_7rZGw "The Forging of Steel"]].
229* Silk Music: An incredibly underrated Los Angeles-based label that produces some seriously atmospheric progressive trance that is almost impossible to not be satisfied by. Standout tracks include: [[https://youtu.be/8_7PZnbNmls "Breathe"]] by David Broaders & Density Fuzion, [[https://youtu.be/CVhK46oqLTg "Timbo"]] by Rainbow Addict, [[https://youtu.be/lQeWMMz8eyE "Sweet Surrender"]] and [[https://youtu.be/ihvD0OCoMb8 "Aurora"]] by Vintage & Morelli.
230* Zerothree: Established in the United Kingdom in 2014, Zerothree focuses on the punchier, synth-driven side of trance. Try out [[https://youtu.be/eGn688KOLF4 "Accelerate"]] by Capa, [[https://youtu.be/FHFfBvaM1Zo "Meteor"]] by Luke Chable, [[https://youtu.be/lqGShINfBn8 "Motion"]] by Tinlicker, and especially [[https://youtu.be/WTtdPCwIXKU "Obsidian"]] by Soundprank, which is on the Wipeout Omega Collection soundtrack, and it's a perfect fit. The second drop will make you feel like you're flying through the air at the speed of sound.
231* Wolfgang Gartner became the TropeMaker for modern electro house, and it's not hard to see why with awesome songs like [[https://youtu.be/G-z6gj2z-Vw "Redline"]], [[https://youtu.be/OkvXO45XL-c "Undertaker"]] [[https://youtu.be/fS7K-shd64I "Wolfgang's 5th Symphony"]], [[https://youtu.be/UOuxTQpxawc "Illmerica"]]. He's also done crazy-awesome collabs [[http://youtu.be/SNXuQJo94pc with]] {{Music/deadmau5}} and [[https://youtu.be/w2EFKCB6G4w Tommy Trash]], among others.
232* Netsky is a word that has two meanings: 1) an evil computer virus; 2) a young Belgian producer, real name Boris Daenen, who makes absurdly awesome drum and bass tunes. [[https://youtu.be/0z7omu2UNVA "Come Alive"]], [[https://youtu.be/5JQbVF8FLyk "Love Has Gone"]], [[https://youtu.be/VjjSlNFTlzU "The Lotus Symphony"]] and [[https://youtu.be/BCC_AvmHpR4 "Iron Heart"]] are universally considered amongst the best drum and bass songs of this decade. [[https://youtu.be/cG7cRDcPY3k "Memory Lane"]] and [[https://youtu.be/tuAYjMzzpUI "Prisma"]] are also unbelievable.
233%%** Hell, anything made by Netsky is awesome, such as [[https://youtu.be/dD40VXFkusw his remix of Rusko's "Everyday"]], [[https://youtu.be/-RREJ5qSnHc "Daydreaming"]], [[https://youtu.be/ItuF6EwW3C8 "Starlight"]], [[https://youtu.be/fpCVUxlmamc "Eyes Closed"]], and his magnum opus: [[https://youtu.be/na79dfVHpp0 "Escape"]].
234%%A list of track titles is not a proper example. Why is EACH ONE awesome?
235* Finding a new drum and bass producer which can still bring some beautiful old school rave vibes? Then Danny Byrd is spot-on. Check out his [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1DB531A8D11DC97F official Youtube playlist by Hospital Records]] to hear his great rave-influenced sound.
236* Speaking of Hospital Records, this label is just plain perfect if you want to hear some great drum and bass music. Other than Netsky and Danny Byrd (who also did a song together, called [[https://youtu.be/daEv_8y5jfk "Tonight"]], another great tune merging Netsky and Danny's signature styles (vocal, loud d-n-b for Netsky; old-school rave influences for Danny Byrd) into an epic song), check out also these artists, with a few tunes of them to get started!
237** Camo & Krooked: [[https://youtu.be/F_zpP9BgOhA "Make The Call"]], [[https://youtu.be/9S_wjIZRp24 "Cross the Line"]], [[https://youtu.be/wXGJUg_QEAA "Watch It Burn"]], [[https://youtu.be/DyLBFaX2kCc "History of the Future"]], [[https://youtu.be/JT6XNuApM_A "Climax"]], [[https://youtu.be/g2vm79u5E1I "Move Around".]]
238** Nu:Tone: [[https://youtu.be/Pq1C8O4i0wo "The Feeling"]], [[https://youtu.be/Fyl5Zsuy_gc "Coming Back"]], [[https://youtu.be/MVh4OfQP7gg "Roundabout".]]
239** Logistics: [[https://youtu.be/nEIEjvT8uzg "Follow That Star"]], [[https://youtu.be/96FG1lDm00g "The Trip"]], [[https://youtu.be/0tRp53rUGwk "Toytown"]], [[https://youtu.be/-tw0HnoHWh4 "Somersaults".]].
240** Mistabishi: [[https://youtu.be/1lEZsnCoIMA "Millwall"]], [[https://youtu.be/ol1dse9wLL8 "I Feel LOL"]], [[https://youtu.be/-qZcuFhyidw "She Lied"]], [[https://youtu.be/WnnZpeWCaP4 "Talk Me Down"]], [[https://youtu.be/MmE2f-gyUdY "RWD the Revolution"]].
241** Fred V & Grafix: [[https://youtu.be/W1cjc21EmLo "Major Happy"]], [[https://youtu.be/2jXnytbyXTs "Long Distance"]], [[https://youtu.be/tsBcLY4WH58 "Vanishing Point"]] and [[https://youtu.be/bDltqG5LbQg "Purple Gates"]], [[https://youtu.be/1WOi5IRuO7Y "Forest Fires".]]. Recently, Fred V began providing his own vocals to the duo's music, this has resulted in gems such as [[https://youtu.be/kcjdCSdwHQQ "Drowning Without You"]] and [[https://youtu.be/HqbJsA-WKr4 "Hurricanes (Wild Love)"]].
242** High Contrast: [[https://youtu.be/Pz1W1OLkw14 "If We Ever"]], [[https://youtu.be/F68UlRwXbFM "Racing Green"]], [[https://youtu.be/0wPancf6fQY "The Agony & The Ecstasy"]], [[https://youtu.be/7A-TRlgjzmw "The Road Goes On Forever"]], [[https://youtu.be/T2F48GbZwrI "The First Note Is Silent"]]
243** Metrik: [[https://youtu.be/QjEnjxCJq_0 "Human Again"]], [[https://youtu.be/eNX04SKhiN8 "Break Of Dawn"]], [[https://youtu.be/EUF96VzuCOA "Slipstream"]], [[https://youtu.be/9-hqIIC_opM "Believe".]]
244** S.P.Y.: [[https://youtu.be/1UYuNMdwCcI "Cold Harsh Air"]], [[https://youtu.be/reVgTQ3Iocs "Dusty Fingers"]], [[https://youtu.be/-X079aEWKlw "What The Future Holds".]]
245* Three words. [[https://youtu.be/H-k_Eg7zXuc THE]] [[https://youtu.be/-lszdEZ0-74 GLITCH]] [[https://youtu.be/kON_KRmFRKk MOB.]] Even one of the members's side project, called "Pantyraid", makes amazing tunes. Their sound is much different compared to The Glitch Mob (Pantyraid makes Skream-influenced dubstep, The Glitch Mob draws many influences from Music/AphexTwin), but it still kicks ass. Take, for example, their latest album, the ConceptAlbum ''Pillowtalk''. The [[https://youtu.be/yv2PsLjETpM video edit of the album's first song "That's The Spot", combined with "Jokes From The Backseat"]] can make everyone... Let's just say, reach the climax.
246* Music/HowToDestroyAngels has already in its short history produced several wonderful tracks -- [[https://soundcloud.com/howtodestroyangels/ice-age Ice age]], [[https://soundcloud.com/howtodestroyangels/how-long How long?]], and [[https://soundcloud.com/howtodestroyangels/a-drowning A Drowning]] in particular stand out.
247* Flux Pavilion, real name Joshua Steele, a kick-ass, white-haired PrettyBoy who makes probably the most brutal dubstep around. If you think you can handle such epicness, then go forward. [[https://youtu.be/hzExWz7KP5M "I Can't Stop"]], [[https://youtu.be/p15p-xcycPo "Double Edge"]], [[https://youtu.be/T_chHL-57i0 "Blow The Roof"]] and [[https://youtu.be/h3cE9iXIx9c "Bass Cannon"]] have been reported to literally blow away unprotected listeners by its savage awesomeness.
248* If you think Flux Pavilion was brutal, then you haven't heard KILL THE NOISE. His dubstep is so brutal, heinous and ferocious he makes the other artists of the genre look like crybabies. You want to hear how it's brutal? Then listen to his most well-known song [[https://youtu.be/MRNilfQ12oY "Kill The Noise (Part 1)"]]. The good part starts at 1:11. Now that's ''brutal'' dubstep!
249** Yes, his dubstep is so [[OverlyLongGag brutal]], [[DarkerAndEdgier edgy]], [[UncommonTime technical]], and everything in between he can be instantly regarded as the TechnicalDeathMetal of the genre.
250** And then there's the equally awesome and equally brutal [[https://youtu.be/Q0WLFpIQ0o0 "Black Magic (Kill The Noise, Part 2)"]]. This one, instead of sounding like the tech-death of dubstep, this one has a very definite and blatant BlackMetal aura. The first part doesn't sound really brutal, but when you arrive at 1:40... We can best describe it as ''Black metal gone dubstep'', with the screeching basses, very akin to the harsh screams and the screeching guitars which are part of black metal's sound, and a continuously pounding and complex drum pattern, similar to the blastbeats used in both death and black. '''And it's awesome.'''
251** Wow, what have we got here? [[https://youtu.be/-j9q5pggBmM This is Kill The Noise's remix of "Under and Over It"]] by Music/FiveFingerDeathPunch. This time, it's ''GrooveMetal gone dubstep!'' Another time, awesome song by an epic band, remixed by the brutal dubstep maker known as KILL. THE. NOISE.
252* Evil Nine takes electronic music to a whole new level of perfection with their get-up-and-dance breakbeat. Try out [[https://youtu.be/ZeJwp0mflLE "Restless"]], [[https://youtu.be/EFTUZCShDtM "Twist The Knife"]], and '''especially''' [[https://youtu.be/dUvqADPLEfY "No Manners"]] (with its [[NotSafeForWork NSFW]] video).
253* If you like Music/AphexTwin, then it's impossible to not like Music/{{Squarepusher}}. This great drum and bass producer did underrated works which all languished in the shadow because of Aphex Twin's extreme popularity.
254** Just listen to [[https://youtu.be/SqjZUyUtqYs "My Red Hot Car"]], [[https://youtu.be/zypOT0RpUWQ "Come On My Selector"]] (with its [[https://youtu.be/Z_SkJb7LPYE respective]] music video, which mixes NightmareFuel with [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments really hilarious scenes]]) or [[https://youtu.be/sjybzwxORz0 "Dark Steering"]]!
255** [[https://youtu.be/4tIwD_ZYiNg "Steinbolt"]] is about as brutal as the likes of the hardest death/black metal and grindcore.
256* Alpinestars were a British duo which made fantastic electronic rock music with some ambient influences. Despite being on the scene for 7 years only, they released 2 great albums: ''BASIC'' and ''White Noise''. Both albums are truly underrated gems, and their songs kick ass. Take, for example, [[https://youtu.be/_cX_rzAKy_4 "NuSEX City"]], [[https://youtu.be/qck2lKBWQuc "Snow Patrol"]], [[https://youtu.be/3E7ALgIdPQE "Jump Jet"]], or their '''amazing''' SignatureSong (which had [[SongAssociation massive coverage in videogames]]) [[https://youtu.be/o1FZTGQGP5Q "Carbon Kid"]] (featuring, guess who? [[Music/{{Placebo}} Brian Molko!]])
257* Music/LCDSoundsystem is the artist of choice for some great dance-punk. They aren't critically acclaimed for no reason. [[https://youtu.be/QWhvxangH-o "North American Scum"]] and [[https://youtu.be/Cj8JrQ9w5jY "Daft Punk Is Playing At My House"]] are among their most well-known (and greatest) songs.
258%%** Their "Yeah". [[https://youtu.be/pJseqQNQ_zA YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAYEA YEAYEA YEAH, YEAH HEY HEY HEY]]
259* Music/{{Darkwave}} veterans The Frozen Autumn have many examples, such as [[https://youtu.be/ame63ENtIRk "This Time"]] and [[https://youtu.be/PV19jHU083M "Dusk is Like a Dagger"]].
260%%* [[https://youtu.be/TXnFbi-OEiQ I'm the one! The Ace! The Only!]]
261* [[https://youtu.be/URh67MqH4bc I wanna... I wanna... I wanna... I wanna! Be!! TRASH!!!]] The Whip is another amazing dance-punk band, and even though they're not as massively active as other ElectronicMusic artists, whenever they make a song, it's awesome. Take for example the aforementioned SignatureSong "Trash".
262* Anything done by Krewella, such as "[[https://youtu.be/A4QJkPg9Lc0 Come & Get It!]]" (NSFW COVER ART), "[[https://youtu.be/8a_UbXbhB3M One Minute]]", "[[https://youtu.be/hPpK_GkAK30 Alive]]" and so much more.
263* Music/NewOrder. That's right. The sons of Music/JoyDivision can't be left out from this list at all, as it's blasphemy up to eleven. [[https://youtu.be/FYH8DsU2WCk "Blue Monday"]], [[https://youtu.be/7uEBuqkkQRk "Bizarre Love Triangle"]], [[https://youtu.be/hcjolqpKR4g "The Perfect Kiss"]] and [[https://youtu.be/G5FSvne3Sko "Krafty"]] are all gems of this genre. And that isn't even a fraction of the awesome songs they've done.
264* Music/LaRoux's [[https://youtu.be/O09v0uQUHxQ "Tigerlily"]], which is extra-catchy. [[https://youtu.be/z7PbvGzBrQo "In For The Kill"]] is pretty sweet, too.
265%%** "This time, baby, I'll be bulletproof..."
266* Skream, all the time. He's the TropeMaker of dubstep, and artists like Skrillex and Rusko couldn't ask for a better one. [[https://youtu.be/ovQS1o6Dxfc "Midnight Request Line"]], [[https://youtu.be/KandVSZbZAM "Exothermic Reaction"]] and [[https://youtu.be/1WUZf0JmBsU "Listenin' To The Records On My Wall"]] are all songs that every true dubstep fan should know and appreciate before jumping to the second wave dubstep/brostep (NOTE: term not used in an offensive way).
267* Despite starting as a straightforward rap crew, the Foreign Beggars have officially proven that rap and dubstep work very well together. [[https://youtu.be/Pb55ep-DrSo "Contact"]], [[https://youtu.be/1rkWk3G_0xk "Apex"]] (made in co-production with Music/KnifeParty) and [[https://youtu.be/h0jHyj_5f6Q "Crep Hype"]] will make YourHeadAsplode, possibly. They now have made a collaboration with Music/{{Noisia}}, who are longtime partners of them, called ''I AM LEGION''. [[https://youtu.be/B9XpmVM81XM "Make Those Move"]] is right now the only song they've made under this alias, but is a great start for a collaboration that will be big someday.
268* Milkways' [[https://youtu.be/o8jTJzJZzhw "Galactic Reaction"]] and [[https://youtu.be/4I0lU1UeSSs "Unknown Flight"]], despite being older tracks, do have a good listen value. "Galactic Reaction" has a happy-sounding rhythm to it. "Unknown Flight" doesn't sound positive in the beginning, but it gets more uplifting in its last quarter.
269* Oh so much of Infected Mushroom. This is '''the''' psytrance group. [[https://youtu.be/GmdV6nGyyEY "Becoming Insane"]], [[https://youtu.be/b8Fad9yJN_o "U R So Fucked"]], [[https://youtu.be/0H7hBjzjsls "Deeply Disturbed"]] and [[https://youtu.be/YYkvv5zG_6c "Mambacore"]] qualify definitely as awesome psytrance, although "U R So Fucked" and "Mambacore" have both electro house and dubstep influences, which however don't stop them from being awesome.
270%%** [[https://youtu.be/C8HjaKSbR-k WE GONNA RUN RUN RUN TO THE CITIES OF THE FUTURE, TAKE UP WHAT WE CAN AND BRING IT BACK HOME.]]
271%%* Freeland. [[https://youtu.be/lh-1gBg2thU Fear is the mind-KILLAH!!!!]]
272* Everything made by Asian Dub Foundation. This British jungle group has been constantly cherished by the drum and bass fanbase, which regards them as one of the best dnb bands of all time. [[https://youtu.be/zxfZ92Cjmb4 "Flyover"]], the opening track of their album ''Tank'', is the go-to song if you want to put the pedal to the metal (which makes its inclusion in ''VideoGame/BurnoutRevenge'' all the more fitting). [[https://youtu.be/MH52Uz-56mQ "Fortress Europe"]] is their SignatureSong, and it kicks ass so much your feeble mind can't even think.
273* Nicky Romero's "Toulouse", with its [[https://youtu.be/KrVC5dm5fFc respective video]], is one of electro house's modern staples. FEEL THAT BASS!!!!
274* [[https://youtu.be/4GHN1Mu6VG0 STOP THE ROCK, CAN'T STOP THE ROCK, YOU CAN'T STOP THE ROCK, CAN'T STOP THE ROCK.]] Music/Apollo440's "Stop The Rock" is an electronic music anthem, played at a solid 440 hertz.
275* Disclosure's music is almost always awesome. "F for You", "When a Fire Starts to Burn", "Latch" and "You & Me" (the music video is NotSafeForWork, however) are songs that come to mind. What makes Disclosure more awesome is the fact that Guy and Howard Lawrence (the two brothers that are Disclosure) are 22 and 19, respectively. They make music that can compare with songs done by producers who've been at it for decades longer.
276* Music/{{Merzbow}}. Sure, his musical output may border on HellIsThatNoise, but what sets him apart from other HarshNoise and {{Industrial}} artists is his amazing skill in musical improvisation - he is considered a near-virtuoso in [[UsefulNotes/{{Japan}} his home country]] and has had his music widely recognized in underground ElectronicMusic scenes around the world. Also, would you believe that sons such as [[https://youtu.be/GGqzaPzrQG8 1930: Part 1]] are recorded with ''frightening clarity'' as opposed to most noise artists who go for [[LoudnessWar massive brickwalling]]? And he's done some pretty awesome [[https://youtu.be/ZKGMRtbnHWQ ambient]] [[https://youtu.be/F0WRxH7C17s songs.]]
277* [[https://youtu.be/NGcZpIkG4KI Castaway]] by Seabound. Soothing and understated but uplifting and powerful as well.
278--> Take this ray of light.\
279Veil the moon, and hold the tide.\
280Calm the wind. You might control the sea.
281%%** [[https://youtu.be/T4ZKmWuzOTA I scorch the ground... You walk on...]]
282* Midnight Resistance: [[https://youtu.be/t79vS6K8YM0 "Recall These Days"]], [[https://youtu.be/NHtoK_GR6HE "Second Skin"]] and its [[https://youtu.be/-U0Hz6UIDOg 2012 remix]], [[https://youtu.be/BUYYIVHI7KE "A Tear in Every Moment"]], [[https://youtu.be/yyti1UiQSwM "Wastelands"]], [[https://youtu.be/epGcfi-OH9M "Mirror Cage"]], among others.
283* [[https://youtu.be/oSWZG8TjIhM Mac n' Cheese]], an incredible mashup by Shawn Serrano, comprised of ''over 130 sound samples'', ranging from a plethora of artists and bands such as Avicii, Earth Wind, & Fire, Daft Punk, and Justice to sound effects pulled from video games such as ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' and ''VideoGame/PacMan''!
284%%* Nu-Disco group Televisor has [[https://youtu.be/h3I27f5PHiQ Alliance]].
285* Australian producer Flume makes [[https://youtu.be/aynV4UOU-As some]] ''[[https://youtu.be/bnUhA3TOv_k killer]]'' [[https://youtu.be/DhUsixmVnDI records]].
286* And just when you thought brostep couldn't get any more mlg... Here comes Music/{{Excision|Musician}}, the dubstep demon hailing from [[CanadaEh Canada]], to prove you wrong with its 1337 mlg dubstep influenced by brutal death metal, first-wave industrial and HarshNoise.
287** [[https://youtu.be/wxNT8ONn-To "X Rated"]], [[https://youtu.be/nnPN-NFpcE0 "Headbanga"]], [[https://youtu.be/Fqy3_zhhZLA "Before The Sun"]], [[https://youtu.be/m8tzAJpT0vw "Deviance"]]... Don't listen to these songs if you're faint of heart. You might just get a stroke.
288** The entirety of ''Destroid: The Invasion'' counts, being a musical account of aliens taking over the world. Sounds detailed enough for someone to make a movie out of it. Special mention goes to [[https://youtu.be/hkGYwX2t-Os Raise Your Fist]], [[https://youtu.be/kare8oyv6fs Wasteland]], and [[https://youtu.be/O87oikkKQAs Annihilate]]. The following single [[https://youtu.be/JreQrmHH8M0 Get Stupid]] ain't too shabby either.
289** Just [[https://youtu.be/ivQIuaoUHuE the demo song he made to demonstrate his 2015 sample pack]] sounds awesome enough to be a full song.
290* Music/{{Kavinsky}}, anyone? Lest we forget his biggest hit [[https://youtu.be/MV_3Dpw-BRY Nightcall]], everything he does is excellent. [[https://youtu.be/wPOdxTnZc1I Have]] [[https://youtu.be/nJS7LvLMppw some]] [[https://youtu.be/g6UdKDNcOcs more.]]
291* Trap music may be pretty well known in certain circles, but hadn't had its mainstream breakthrough until 2014, when producer DJ Snake teamed up with crunk's favorite hype man Music/LilJon for one of the biggest, loudest, and most ridiculous hits of the year, spawning a popular catchphrase in the process. Behold, [[https://youtu.be/HMUDVMiITOU "Turn Down for What?!"]] Other than "Turn Down For What", DJ Snake had already done two other trap anthems which achieved instant popularity amongst its followers: [[https://youtu.be/KKRJpcBcKBw "Bird Machine (feat. Alesia)"]], which popularity was further boosted by its inclusion in ''VideoGame/SaintsRowIV'', and [[https://youtu.be/MIuJVYNvC-s his remix]] of [=AlunaGeorge=]'s "You Know You Like It".
292* The hauntingly beautiful [[https://youtu.be/V66cr41DNnM "Wir sind wir"]] by Paul van Dyk featuring Peter Heppner of Wolfsheim, a rallying call for Germany and a damn good song on musical merits alone. Speaking the language isn't necessary to enjoy, but it certainly does help.
293* Paul van Dyk's [[https://youtu.be/qM5q1o7ofnc "For an Angel"]] may have been released in the nineties, and not only does it still hold up well over twenty years later, it can blast a great deal of other current hits out of the water.
294* Most anything by Philadelphia-based DarkWave diva Void Vision is awesome, but especially [[https://youtu.be/u4hucUECSNI "Everything Is Fine"]], [[https://youtu.be/S3GKTN6ES0U "Hidden Hand"]], and [[https://soundcloud.com/mannequin-label/08-the-source "The Source"]].
295* Tennyson, a Canadian '''teenage''' brother-sister duo that has created some [[SugarWiki/SweetDreamsFuel entrancing]] music that's so aesthetically and atmospherically unique that calling it just "electronic" seems like a disservice. They've done everything from mesmerizing chillwave ([[https://youtu.be/P7ymf7pLLjw "Delta"]], [[https://youtu.be/Sl1l7clj9jI "With You"]], [[https://youtu.be/k9LpwtWkiAc "Lay-By"]], and more) to downtempo dance tracks ([[https://youtu.be/NjGkvADCLYs "Aphasia Rewinding"]]) and heartstring-pulling piano pieces ([[https://youtu.be/0k2nm-BsD10 "To the Moon (And Back)"]], [[https://youtu.be/jCj06qNmB04 "In One Piece"]]). They've even done some work with trap ([[https://youtu.be/jxxTZ2TngvQ "Blamer"]]).
296* John Keating's [[https://youtu.be/vHMf-IWVS3Q "The Unknown Planet"]] from the album "Space Experience" sounds like every awesome classical sci-fi theme rolled in one.
297* {{Music/Galantis}}' [[https://youtu.be/szj59j0hz_4 "Runaway (U & I)"]], an energetic upbeat house song that perfectly captures the sensation of crazy, wild, rebellious freedom inflicted by love.
298* Feed Me is a GenreBusting producer whose music runs between DrumAndBass, {{Dubstep}} and ElectroHouse, with some very unique and experimental sounds to set it apart from the rest of EDM. [[https://youtu.be/KTvfwd3JZTE "Far Away"]] (made with Kill the Noise), [[https://youtu.be/F2FMDV8yW9M "One Click Headshot"]] (which famously samples ''WebVideo/PurePwnage''), [[https://youtu.be/O17yF1Of5YM "Spilt Milk"]] and [[https://youtu.be/5UiMrCphoMY "Grand Theft Ecstacy"]] are just some of the highlights.
299* Music/MusicInstructor: [[https://youtu.be/h3ySBAcIoxo "Super Sonic"]] or, if you want more vocals, [[https://youtu.be/gSLGJs96Hy0 "Get Freaky"]] (featuring [[VideoGame/{{Oddworld}} Abe]] and the Lunatics) and [[https://youtu.be/d_Ew1vRCdCw "Super Fly (Upper MC)"]] (featuring just Dean).
300* Goa trance is a mixture of {{Trance}} music and [[GenreMashup traditional Indian music]] (particularly from Goa, hence its name). For a track that embodies the spiritual and energetic build up all in one, here is [[https://youtu.be/KQehN7xtvnM Teleport]] by Martin Freeland, aka Man With No Name.
301* "[[https://youtu.be/SPlQpGeTbIE Move Your Feet]]" by Junior Senior is so fun and energetic that you can't help but dance to this song.
302* Cruzo's ''awesome'' remix of [[https://soundcloud.com/cruzomusic/epic-sax-guy-cruzo-remix "Epic Sax Guy"]], which manages to take a 6 second sample from a live performance and turn it into ''its own damn song.''
303* ItaloDisco. Catchy melodies and everything else that makes true 80s music.
304** [[https://youtu.be/CmHEJvrIGCk Diviacchi's "Waiting for Heaven"]], a song dramatic for its time.
305** [[https://youtu.be/cA5ddEOuJw8 Stage's "Ocean of Crime"]] for those who want a rock feel, as well as this [[https://youtu.be/W6cfFNICNRc related song, "Voodoo Dance"]].
306** Anyone willing to find an awesome train song in 80's synths? Listen to [[https://youtu.be/ollOwQ3V2Q0 Wish Key's "Orient Express"]] to make yourself wondering why Italians made great 80's music.
307** [[https://youtu.be/8FTNltITx4Q Time - "Shaker Shake"]]. Its heavy synths and the bass made it an 80s equivalent to some of today's music. There's also the [[https://youtu.be/1-bToVYEm7E Dub mix]] that brings the song up to eleven.
308** Kano's [[https://youtu.be/-zQd6xiGAUo "Another Life"]] has such a [[FutureMusic futuristic]] feeling to it.
309** "Agent of Liberty" by Mike Mareen, especially the [[EpicRocking 9-minute]] [[https://youtu.be/auCk1TVdOFw original version]].
310** [[https://youtu.be/3c5OoPYQE0s "Right by the Moon"]] by K. Barré, a faster-paced Italo-disco track. You would want to "go cruising by a silver moon".
311%%** [[https://youtu.be/zDV_dBYp4h0 "Take a Chance" with me!]]
312%%** [[https://youtu.be/3uiEOM_9pDs Kano - "Ikeya Seki"]].
313%%* [[https://youtu.be/O4WjGWiP07U "Automat"]], a long 1970s track in three parts.
314%%** Omni - [[https://youtu.be/Latgeg7eRH8 "Green Line"]] (1980), a fast-paced instrumental disco-type track for an Italian television show, by one of the people behind the ''Automat'' album.
315* The Rockets:
316** [[https://youtu.be/ekNsE_0V_Y4 The longer version of "Future Woman]]", especially for the disco section in the last minute-and-a-half.
317** The calm but bittersweet [[https://youtu.be/Lvk_2XssP0c "In The Galaxy"]], particularly the second half's anthem of legendary.
318%%** [[https://youtu.be/s5IKHtDkF3o "Cosmic Race"]], an instrumental featuring vintage synths.
319%%** [[https://youtu.be/MoCchEu5Q1s Space Rock! Space Rock!]]
320%%** [[https://youtu.be/55hjQaQLED8 "Galactica"]] another epic rockin' track.
321* Laserdance. Songs such as [[https://youtu.be/oA6kVw8O1cE "Fear"]] beat any other space synth song, and rank among the top space electronic instrumentals.
322* [[https://youtu.be/LG1p5nhuULM "Laser"]] by the artist of the same name as the track, is another electronic disco gem.
323* [[https://youtu.be/EGcXaHSJbxM "Remember"]] by Vivien Vee, which will remind some listeners of the video game adaptation of ''Film/TheWarriors''.
324* Seven Lions is a metal drummer turned DJ and producer who mixes trance (uplifting with touches of psy), dubstep, electro house, and drum and bass together into a very melodious and harmonious composition. [[https://youtu.be/RwVoDh1FvDw "Keep It Close"]] (featuring Music/{{Kerli}}), his [[https://youtu.be/506NS0tDylw remix of Above and Beyond's "You Got to Go"]], [[https://youtu.be/16lEWeQ6ybo "Lucy"]], and [[https://youtu.be/0MWVr_VWTQ8 "Isis"]] are here for the sampling.
325* Basically any composition by Porter Robinson, especially on his album ''Worlds''. Particular ones which stand out are [[https://youtu.be/HAIDqt2aUek "Sad Machine"]], the jaw-dropping [[https://youtu.be/lSooYPG-5Rg "Sea of Voices"]] and the astoundingly epic [[https://youtu.be/Ardc3nrQMxw "Fellow Feeling"]]. You WILL tear up on the second drop.
326%%* [[https://youtu.be/wew-yN2baa4 "Musical."]] [[https://youtu.be/zqvCyc9wAlI "Savant."]]
327%%* Norwegian indie EDM/trance/synthwave/chiptune artist [[https://soundcloud.com/eox-studios Anders Enger Jensen]] [[IHaveManyNames AKA EOX-Studios AKA Aiwendil]] has a load of awesome tracks, such as "Kindred Dreams", "Contrails", and "8-Bit Voyager".
328* American synth expert Larry Fast has contributed to projects by such rock music luminaries as Music/PeterGabriel, Music/KateBush, Music/{{Foreigner|Band}}, and Music/DarylHallAndJohnOates. He's also produced several solo albums under the name Synergy, and the results are ''epic''. For just a sample of his greatness, here's [[https://youtu.be/nJgPdzasH18 "Legacy"]], made famous by its appearance in ''[[Series/{{Cosmos}} Cosmos: A Personal Voyage]]''.
329* Genre pioneer Suzanne Ciani was already a classically-trained pianist when she discovered the synthesizer and decided to put her instrumental skills to use in order to create electronic music. Her compositions are among the most beautiful and [[SugarWiki/SweetDreamsFuel transfixing]] in the genre. For a sample, here's [[https://youtu.be/06nWn98x_ek "The Seventh Wave"]], from her 1982 album ''Seven Waves''.
330* Many of Swedish Eurodance musician [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-Type_(musician) E-Type]]'s songs, when they're not simply good, such as: [[https://youtu.be/yOSF3WtcElA "Rain"]], [[https://youtu.be/HktViXOnS1M "True Believer"]] and [[https://youtu.be/r2E9p455kyo "Like A Child"]], due to the soaring choruses, powerful synths and structures and generally imaginative (if fairly cheesy) lyrics.
331* Looking for {{trance}} on the DarkerAndEdgier spectrum which [[GenreRoulette mixes]] with {{techno}}? To start off, here's a sample of tech trance's finest:
332** [[https://youtu.be/t4OBeaktSO8 Sean Tyas' remix of John Askew's "Shine"]], a high energy anthem that even dabbles in the old "acid" sound.
333** [[https://youtu.be/2a1SRLJR6gI "Access" by Jordan Suckley]], which almost feels like a throwback to the synth sounds of the 80's.
334** [[https://youtu.be/kqeIb_vYGFE "Brush Strokes" by Simon Patterson]]. An eerie yet energetic piece that uses the old school acid sound to add a bouncy feel.
335** [[https://youtu.be/p0G_K_zJi9g "Benzin" by Tempo Guisto]], spacey sounding yet hard.
336** [[https://youtu.be/ag8d_bF2mUM "Vengeance" by Mark Sherry]], a fast banger of a track guaranteed to energize the crowd.
337* She Moves, despite being considered a OneHitWonder with [[https://youtu.be/m0_Cjw74GuU "Breaking All the Rules"]], also produced the little-known dance gems [[https://youtu.be/dT49P5qsLW0 "Just For Tonight"]] and [[https://youtu.be/2QZwRT-LQfY "Let's Keep It Going On"]].
338* Obscure Canadian Eurodance act YBZ have [[https://youtu.be/12D4eEezhWM "Now That I Found You"]], a driving hi-NRG track with catchy synth hooks that's excellent for workouts. [[https://youtu.be/ZxebPmZBiWc "Love is Calling"]] is also great.
339* Are you looking to take a journey through a perfect unison of dubstep and trance? Well, say hello to [=Au5=], ''the'' EnsembleDarkhorse of the new '10s wave. His seamless blend of entrancing soundscapes and melodies with his signature heavy, technical bass design makes any track of his stand out from the rest of the dubstep crowd. For best results, start with his breakout hit, [[https://soundcloud.com/owslaofficial/seven-lions-days-to-come-ft his remix of "Days to Come" by Seven Lions]]. Next, carry on to his countless bangers produced with Monstercat, such as [[https://youtu.be/3I4cfOd-ZgU "Blossom"]], [[https://youtu.be/DECxluN8OZM "Snowblind"]], and [[https://youtu.be/cM_xL9qJUOQ "Atlantis"]]. Cap off your journey through the ages with [[https://youtu.be/fC9ZcJiTgSw "Freefal"l]], [[https://youtu.be/kgdWUHVEG2I "Arise"]], and [[https://soundcloud.com/nocopyrightsounds/lush?in=au5/sets/au5-last-heroes-lush-feat "Lush"]].
340* Thought that EDM is only a thing in the West? Think again. These producers from the Middle and Far East have gained recognition from well-known European and American EDM labels, and are starting to gain a foothold in a Western-dominated sect of the music industry:
341** Justin Oh, from South Korea, (recognised by A State of Trance and Paul Oakenfold's Perfecto Records): [[https://youtu.be/VTV4jIs9PJo "Reach for the Sky (with Estiva & Abby Rae)"]], [[https://youtu.be/OTLgihQsyJc "Under the Stars"]], [[https://youtu.be/IYUSnQ4pwGE "City Lights"]].
342** Shingo Nakamura, from Japan (also recognised by Armin van Buuren): [[https://youtu.be/kfC1mYiGPbs "Always"]], [[https://youtu.be/lsWjB3ZWw74 "Roro"]], [[https://youtu.be/VDMBupvq6ew "Mauve"]], [[https://youtu.be/MHXXAyje7Ho "Linear Light"]]
343** LTN, from ''Indonesia'' (recognised by ABGT): [[https://youtu.be/mr2taN5Va2U "Illusions"]], [[https://youtu.be/wFnzSZUoeGI "Let Me Go"]], [[https://youtu.be/PPvPTsNY_C8 "Haven Place"]].
344** Masoud, from ''Iran'': [[https://youtu.be/7s_5waELvuM "My Dreams"]], [[https://youtu.be/E9BytsGc3Bg "Goodbye"]].
345** Reimu, from ''China'': [[https://youtu.be/_2UEw9pyC_s "Wonderland"]], [[https://youtu.be/ZyHKDbgkVz4 "Lunarfall"]].
346* Really, [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPEQ8XPcRQQdPsrNRkuyuAw/videos Silentroom's entire Youtube channel]] (except the UNDERVEIL tracks) fits the bill here, but special props go to [[https://youtu.be/XtXRvEsWzQo "Nhelv"]], a submisssion for the Japanese online music event "BMS of Fighters 2017", often shortened down to "BOFU2017".
347* [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_aEa8K-EOJ3D6gOs7HcyNg NoCopyrightSounds]], a British record label responsible for the electronic PublicDomainSoundtrack in various Website/YouTube videos, has packed some songs that an ear cannot resist, such as [[https://youtu.be/iaKgF1Vf5bQ "Entropy"]], [[https://youtu.be/EP625xQIGzs "Hope"]], [[https://youtu.be/IIrCDAV3EgI "Candyland"]], [[https://youtu.be/fzNMd3Tu1Zw "Energy"]], [[https://youtu.be/1WP_YLn1D1c "Eclipse"]], [[https://youtu.be/f2xGxd9xPYA "Adventure"]], and [[https://youtu.be/mSLuJYtl89Y "Let's Go!"]]. Really, we could say that all of these jamming electronic tunes are this.
348* The little known UK electroclash band Add N To (X) are underrated, but their best known album, ''Avant Hard'', stands out well in terms of experimental music, containing a lot of epic tracks including "FYUZ", "Revenge of the Black Regent", "Metal Fingers In My Body" and "Machine Is Bored With Love". The opening track for the aforementioned album, "Barry 7's Contraption", sets the tone of the album in a fun way, combining [[CreepyCircusMusic circus sounding music]] with glitches.
349* Hyper, a breakbeat/industrial producer whose music has been featured in ''Series/TheLeftovers'' and the trailer for ''VideoGame/Cyberpunk2077'', has some strong and energetic beats. Examples: [[https://youtu.be/G70S5fumHso "Spoiler"]], [[https://youtu.be/qfZueHlwGrM "Clockwork"]], and [[https://youtu.be/F_tsZJickpw "He Rises"]].
350* Want some industrial techno dripping with darkness? Try out [[https://youtu.be/udO8N4Mgrdo "Gone" by Sierra]]. Hell, [[https://youtu.be/QnaJc2bWqWY the whole EP]] is pure sonic bliss. It's what cyberpunk would sound like as a music genre.
351* NINA is commonly known as the "Queen of UsefulNotes/{{Synthwave}}", a title she definitely lives up to in tunes such as:
352** "[[https://youtu.be/1hYSRVfQz44 Empire of Love]]", a driving arena anthem that starts modestly but builds to an orgasmic finale.
353** "[[https://youtu.be/vsBzOVmWHpQ Runaway]]", a fast-paced tune about unity in bad times with a sing-along chorus, co-written and produced by Ricky Wilde, brother of '80s superstar Music/KimWilde.
354** "[[https://youtu.be/kMt5wOL3FK4 Nightfall]]", from the DarkerAndEdgier ''Control'' EP, is nonetheless an energetic dancefloor filler or workout jam.
355** "[[https://youtu.be/sVHFfl1MJzg Berlin]]", a tribute to her hometown, which she moved back to at the start of the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic, produced with Swedish synth master The Secret Chord.
356* Thunder Porpoise regularly cranks out amazing synthwave, but one particular standout is "[[https://youtu.be/NkpyglvTJn4 Until The End of Time]]", a SuspiciouslySimilarSong to the ''VideoGame/SpaceHarrier'' theme, but [[TwentyPercentMoreAwesome 20% cooler]]! This would make a great end credits theme to a {{retraux}} video game.
357* With Swedish model-singer Madleen Kane calling it quits in 1985, her Hi-NRG synthpop album ''Cover Girl'' was the perfect swan song. Guaranteed to set you [[https://youtu.be/kFx0s903NAs On Fire]], take you to [[https://youtu.be/zSLCwuvJilc Ecstasy]], and steal your heart like a [[https://youtu.be/_b_yyx_SguI Love Bandit]].
358%%* [[https://youtu.be/MK-s15nw1ww 學分危機]], a graduation song about failing professor's classes.
359* Juno Reactor is a British goa and psytrance group who is best known for composing the music for ''Franchise/TheMatrix'' and its sequels. Unsurprisingly, they have some truly amazing pieces.
360** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoVlnZyIG6M Zwara]] is a spine tingling fusion of African tribal drums, electronic beats, fierce tribal chanting, all ending with a sustained scream that evokes religious ecstasy. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1dheS0Ipbk The live version]] is actually explicit about the religious overtones as the lead vocalist, Mabi, actually performs a sangoma (traditional South African healer) intro.
361** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DP06NjOdOrc Conquistador]] is in two contrasting parts. The first part is a soft, melodic piece with Spanish-style guitars in the background and a soft female voice singing the [[LyricalDissonance lyrics to "Dies Irae"]]. It then seamlessly transitions into thundering drum beats with harsh male vocals.
362** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jops-3mplU Control]], which they made in collaboration with Traci Lords (an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kRlvrtdS0c instrumental version]] makes appearance as the battle theme in ''Film/MortalKombatTheMovie'' where Liu Kang fights Reptile), is a bit different from their usual goa trance offerings, being a stomping techno beat with buzzing synths overlaid with [[SpokenWordInMusic spoken lyrics]] about a woman nursing a broken heart.
363** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_LZ3z5sgX8 Hotaka]] has an ethereal voice singing vowel tones over a steadily rising electronic buzz, which then hits a crescendo and transitions into a pounding beat with rough male vocals and electric guitars.
