    Recommend me some Electronic artists
    So i've recently been getting into electronic music such as crystal castles, m83, aphex twin and SBTRKT. Could anyone give me some similar recommendations?

    Krautrock is always good. Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze and I cant recall any others atm.

    Stephan Mathieu is another one,but you have to like ambient sounding drone.

    School of seven bells are a more "normal" sounding band, a combination of shoegaze and electronica, nice stuff, great vocals. Probably most like M83 I've heard.

    I usually answer such questions with very well known bands. R.E.M did an electronic style (Kratfwerk-ish?) song, Hope:

    'Electronic music' is an incredibly broad genre but... As I'm listening now, Fever Ray.
