The Electro Compendium
A free compilation of 116 (!!!) tracks of intelligent electro - I’ll leave the Anti-Social Network to explain it:
Electro.
Kraftwerk invented it in the seventies. Hip hop jacked it in eighties. Techno took it underground in the nineties. And then strange things happened in the noughties. House and dubstep co-opted the word “electro”, shifting its meaning and confusing people. Good people. People like YOU.
You’ve forgotten what real electro sounds like. But that’s ok, because we’re here to remind you. Electro is the sound of robots dreaming of a science fiction future, making machine music in their bedrooms with pulsing drum machines, while their keytars gently bleep. OK, maybe not so much the keytars, but probably some squelching synths, and sci fi samples and even the occasional vocoder, all washed down with lashings and lashings of funk.
Today, electro continues to evolve, embracing modern production techniques and digital sound design, mutating into something so alien it barely resembles most of today’s dance music. And yet it does. It SO does, and we have over 100 tracks that prove it, from relentless hardcore dancefloor tracks to intricately tweaked bedroom chin-scratchers; from melodic retro tributes to the escapist soundtrack of science fiction futures.You can check the music out in the embedded player below, or check out it’s Bandcamp page (with tracklist) here
Thanks to Lewis Hadler for the heads up :)

with six other dj’s I form the dj collective “kattekwaad” (kattekwaad.cc) and organize parties in the south of Holland, and our main goal is to be open minded to music, and play as eclectic possible, but that’s not so difficult, as we are seven total different dj’sTracklist:

The Wub Machine
Upload an MP3 and it will remix it, either as Dubstep or Electro House. Created by Peter Sobot:
The Wub Machine was a great little auto-remixer project - some audio hackery in Python to make a neat script. Unfortunately, I can probably count on one hand the number of people who *actually* downloaded the script and tried it on their own songs. So, I decided to make it into a web app. (tl;dr: go try out the site now!)
I’ve tried it, and posting the results below. I used a chiptune song, one that was originally used in a ZX Spectrum game called Cybernoid. Its beepy, it was a small file (and … er … it was there on my desktop). Here is how it sounds:
Cybernoid - The Fighting Machine - Title Music by Prosthetic Knowledge
Here is the ‘Dubstep’ remix:
Cybernoid - Dubstep Version (Wub Machine Remix) by Prosthetic Knowledge
And here is the ‘Electro House’ remix:
Cybernoid (Wub Machine Electro Remix) by Prosthetic Knowledge
It works really well, although I’m sure proper electronic musicians are not going to lose sleep over this. Fun to mess around with. I didn’t try anything with vocals, but I’m sure it would be effective in the Electro-House style.
You can download the final track or upload it to SoundCloud - a SoundCloud list can be found here

Mille - Crysteena by Upper First
I guess this is a kind-of proof-of-concept music video using mannequins and projections. The effect works well.
Direction: Upper First
Production: Upper First
Photographer: David Einar
VJ: Transfett
Music: Mille
Year: 2010
After spending a long night in a dark, creepy warehouse full of mannequins, and many hours of spare time in front of your computer, this is what you get!
In this piece we’ve combined two of our interests, creative visuals and electro music, to create a music video for the up-and-coming Swedish artist Mille. The idea was to use projections on mannequins to achieve a different and interesting expression where graphics almost become clothes on the bodies.
To be able to do this we got some help from a couple of friends - David Einar behind the camera and Transfett who did the live sync of visuals onto mannequins, thanks guys! Awesome work.

We are so fortunate to have Flying Lotus in our Los Angeles music community. His music reflects our city like few others. His sounds are definitely not limited to LA geography. His travels around the world have influenced the constantly evolving tangential tones that appear in his songs then fade into the mist.

Ladies Know (Live Edit) by Mux Mool
Taken from the free to download Viking Funeral EP
From the Ghostly International page:
Culled from Mux Mool’s EPs, mixtapes, and beat vaults, the Viking Funeral EP collects five choice Mux cuts into one concentrated blast of music, an introduction to Brian Lindgren’s dazzling take on homespun electro hip-hop and a preamble to his upcoming full-length opus, Skulltaste.
Viking Funeral contains everything that Mux Mool does best, making it a fine road map to Lindgren’s cracked universe. “Teal Trim” starts things off right with a tight, incisive beat, mixed to cut through a fog of hard-panned synths and distorted melody lines. Mux’s live edit of “Ladies Know” is a hard-to-find instrumental version which foregrounds the track’s bitcrushed drums and dirt-crusted vocal samples. Next up is “Drum Babylon”, a highlight from Mux’s song-a-day project Drum EP, and “Goblin Town”, a mischievous interlude featuring a choir of deep-voiced goblins, singing about their hometown. The Viking Funeral EP closes with its lone track with vocals, “Death 9000 (Prof & POS Broadcasting Version)”, in which the MCs have their way with one of Mux’s more sinister beatscapes.
Five tracks, five different shades of Mux; but the Viking Funeral EP is just the tip of the iceberg. Skulltaste is lurking below the waterline, and it goes down for miles.
The EP can be downloaded from the Ghostly International page directly - no email registration or tricks.
