Tigerbeat6
San Francisco-based Tigerbeat6 is run by the one and only Kid606. Since he founded it in early 2000, the Kid has moved towards establishing Tigerbeat6 as a top purveyor of the more offbeat side of electronic music with releases such as a three-inch CD tribute to N.W.A. Look for lots more to come in the future.
Cex
People have sex for lots of reasons -- maybe for love, maybe for fun, maybe for escape. Like sex, electronic artist Cex (pronounced the same way) evokes a wide range of feelings by creating interesting sounds and rhythms that exude compassion and vitality.

Lesser
Where Aphex Twin and Squarepusher push the electronic music envelope with irregular drum and bass breaks and fast beats, Lesser tears the envelope into a million pieces, eats them, and then sends you a care package of his dung. He's the Neil Hamburger of the electronic music world, and you would be wise to pay attention.

Pimmon
If you're looking for an Australian who knows a thing or two about glitchy electronic music, look no further than Pimmon. While his work sounds very much "man-made," it has a certain warm that's easy on the ears, making it a must-listen for fans of Oval or Fennesz.

Dwayne Sodahberk
While early minimal techno pioneers like Aphex Twin and Plastikman have moved on to other things, it's good to know that newcomers like Dwayne Sodahberk are willing to carry the torch. Looping samples and muffled computer voices mixed with driving beats make Sodahberk a serious contender for your turntable's affection.

Ted Sulkowicz
Ted Sulkowicz is a maddeningly enigmatic figure. Little is known about him and most of that information is probably false. Despite the mystery, it's clear that whoever is behind this music has an ear for infectious beats.
