Question: Gimme filthy backroom post-industrial electro action.

Yet another "name that crunching minimal electro tune" question.

So, I was streaming elektrowave.org's ShoutCast station a few weeks ago and heard this rather wonderful thing: it's a glitchy/crunchy/oversaturated/funky/super-compressed nightmare, and I love it. It's like the soundtrack to a gay circuit-party migraine in Hell. I need more of this danceable extreme* circuit-bending goodness in my life, so... who/what is it? And MORE PLEASE!

(*Yes, I know the genre gets much more extreme than this, so feel free to go with that too.)

I don't know what this particular track is, but I recommend Mouse on Mars, especially their album Varcharz.

Something that's more conventionally harmonious than the track you liked, though likely to be up your alley, is an EP by Daedelus [sic] called A Gent Agent. (It's not his best work, but a lot of his other stuff is mellower.)

Also, emusic.com has a "glitch" section--you could try looking into that.

Don't know about the original, but you'd probably like this.

don't know who your link is, but i know it's house. my personal favorite band for this is cabaret voltaire, esp. their later stuff like 'body and soul', 'groovy laidback and nasty' and 'the conversation'.

Well, the Von Sudenfed album (Mouse On Mars + Mark E. Smith) has some great tracks - but I like it even harder and more dissonant.

Clark was interesting - thanks for that. Warp does a lot of this sort of thing (I imagine Aphex Twin will turn up in this thread eventually).

CabVolt are pioneers, indeed, and I have much of their early work in my collection, but this is a slightly different animal. I will check out their later stuff at your behest :-)

Keep 'em coming.

Never heard it before, but it made me think of Mr. Oizo.
Also, you might enjoy digitally imported's selection of streams.

(Oh, and I'm still trying to figure out who the artist is, so keep answering.)

Some of the new electro releases might be right up your alley: Justice, Digitalism, MSTRKRFT, Simian Mobile Disco...

At www.di.fm they have a message board for song identification.
You might have better luck by also posting it there.

Good song, though.

Everyone's pretty well covered recommendations I'd make for things in this genre.

The thing that's killing me is that I'm 99.9% positive I've heard a chunk of this track in one of the DJ sets I've been listening to over and over the last month or two, but I can't recall which one. If I remember, I'll hunt down the tracklist and post the answer, but I bet someone will beat me to it.

Got it!

This track is Airbus and it's by D.I.M. (I don't believe this is a remix, though there's a chance it's a re-edit... But I don't think it is).

It shows up about twenty minutes into the BBC Essential Mix that Digitalism did back in July.

Good stuff!

Airbus Baby is the name of the original track, don't know why I left that word out.

Further digging suggests the version you've posted is the MSTRKRFT remix? I'm not sure.

Yep, looks like sparkletone is right, at least according to YouTube it's Airbus Baby.

Excellent track, another artist to check out that wasn't mentioned above is Para One especially Dudun-dun and the MSTRKRFT remix.
