Electroclash

Electroclash began as an esoteric offshoot of techno, revisiting some of the genre's original sonic touchstones: Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, New Order, Afrika Bambaataa and New York disco.

Oft-derided, even in its 2002 heyday, no one expected electroclash to last. But, just as sonic heirs such as La Roux or Little Boots capitalise on their groundwork, the old electro guard return with works of real solidity and depth.
