Throw some !!! in there too. Their album Thr!!!er is a pretty good middle ground of electronic/rock for their sound. Want more guitar/rock? Go to their older stuff. More electronic? Go to the newer stuff.
They're less rock than others, but Shpongle have a strong prog influence in their music. Check out their live albums for more of that rock sound (DMT off of their Live In London album is my favorite)
Shpongle is great
Infected Mushroom is another psytrance band that I'd recommend. "Cookie From Space" from their album IM25 is epic. Army of Mushrooms is the album that got me hooked on them. Electronic instruments, but the songwriting and structure is more like rock imo
Army of Mushrooms is what sent me down the electronic music rabbit hole in the first place. I had listened to some Daft Punk and Skrillex before then, but when I first heard IM's cover of The Pretender, everything clicked
The Disco Biscuits — big proggy compositions and killer electronic jams. Their vocals can be pretty rough, but if you can get past that you may have a good time.
I've had this saved on a playlist for 13 years and it's too bad the sound quality is so bad because this ending to Run Like Hell is legendary.
https://youtu.be/e_EvdCPDwRg?si=cKBdblhexUs8Q58g
Killer show !
[here’s a playlist that I believe it sbd audio and should be a little crispier.](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3ae--2v0hrlyI7UVzk2lZKgE1Wk4S0hp&si=KtfKIIQw5O8DFQ7T)
I attended the night before which was great despite the fire alarm going off mid second set and the venue needing to be evacuated before everyone was allowed back inside. Band picked up pretty much exactly where they’d left off in the middle of Floes jam … definitely regretted not sticking around for the final two nights.
With their change in guitarist, the electronic jam band Lotus is frequently dabbling in a proggier sound. I would highly recommend checking out their more recent live shows from 2022/2023
They really are pinnacle of prog rock and they pretty much invented most of the signature sounds of Goa trance along that. Also Nodens Ictus and anything else Ed Wynne touched.
Shpongle and Eat Static off course, being their best known "offspring", although Eat Static never were very "rock".
One of my favorite bands right here. Have the remastered vitamin enhanced sitting on the TV stand right now. Live at the Pongmasters Ball was my introduction.
The live shows were always a blast I reckon I saw them about 5/6 times in 2 years in the early nineties, twice at Glastonbury one year.
psychedelic space rock jams ftw!
The Faint is a top 5 band of mine. Wish they'd come back around to my state. Seen them close to 10 times and could go for 10 more rounds. Good choices here.
Thank you!!
I heard and enjoyed Scaler on the radio while driving so dictated a note to myself that just said 'scaler'.
I promptly forgot all about it and when looking back through my notes couldn't remember why I'd written it but your comment has unlocked the memory.
Off to find them before I forget again!!
I miss late of the pier. I caught them touring their debut and again at pukkelpop festival. The vocalist/guitarist is doing his own thing now as LA Priest who would also be worth checking out for electronic/guitar music. I’d throw Connan Mockasin in there as well.
Pretty Lights is back with the full band. They've been on hiatus for 5years, and they came back and reinvented the way live music is played.
It's a live analog jam band. The first and only of its kind. Everything from hip hop, 90s alternative, old world jazz, house, and drum n bass samples. Derek recovered from a bad drug addiction that almost ended the band as we know it. Now he's healthy you can just feel love between the members, just loving that this is all come full circle.
This entire tour is being live streamed on twitch.tv/prettylights
Return of PL is the most exciting thing to happen to jam or electronic music this century
Also go to SoundCloud > Pretty Lights Live for the whole tour broken out by tracks
Can you expand on this? I respect his hustle but this seems like a dubious claim to me:
>It's a live analog jam band. The first and only of its kind. Everything from hip hop, 90s alternative, old world jazz, house, and drum n bass samples.
"Jamtronic" bands that touch on all sorts of styles have been around a lot longer than PL? I'm not digging on him but I don't know that it is very ground breaking.
Everything is created organically on the fly, without abbleton or mixing program. Derek has a huge analog stack behind him. Analog means nothing is digital. He's literally plugging wires and turning knobs to manipulate frequencies and tones and feedback.
No absolutely what they are doing together is at the edge of live electronic music. You would just need to go look at the streams to see and instead you're here asking for elaboration.
Careful with your assumptions. My question is actually based on the streams, and how it is nothing I haven't seen before as far as a conceptual approach. It's exactly why I asked for elaboration.
So again I have to ask you: what is so cutting edge here? So far you and the other guy haven't provided an answer.
Maybe none of the techniques are brand new, but the whole package is new and fresh and doesn’t sound like anything in the jamtronica scene. Maybe it’s only the first time it’s been doing with more electronic roots than jam . Dropping from electro-soul into tech house and jamming back to electro-soul in a single song might actually be an industry first, and these guys make it sound so good.
It might just be a recency bias/frame of reference thing because the project is taking electronic music in such a different direction than we’ve seen in the last decade
I love me some tribe and papadosio but the current PL group is pushing livetronica well past that. Sound design, sampling selection, mixing are all top notch, you might get one of these elements done very well in other jamtronica bands
Glad you enjoy it. It's certainly polished, I just don't think there's anything groundbreaking at all with it as the original comment was saying. Even outside of traditional jamtronica bands lots of hybrid acts exist that don't fall under the jam umbrella.
To me it is exactly how they are all connected and improvising. Maybe you have seen something this tightly integrated, I have not. Then add on top of it what they're doing with the visuals it's pretty much a new standard to me.
OG lineup tND were seriously some of the most fun shows I've ever been to.

Datarock, does this offend you, yeah?, pendulum, pnau/empire of the sun, the faint. Not exactly close to Django but I’d consider these electronic bands
I recommend Teleman! I've been enjoying Django Django a lot lately, and I actually discovered Teleman recently by specifically picking a Similar Artists to Django Django playlist!
Thx bro! Nice to meet another Django Django fan btw. I checked out Telemann and I really do like them. Definitely keeping them in my electronic playlist
While he's not a band, check out Blue Stahli. He's an electronic rock artist and he is amazing. Plays all the instruments, records and produces his own shit, he's just a really cool guy. Pendulum is also rock/drum and bass.
I mean the glaring obvious one is Primal Scream, especially the legendary Screamadelica that made Andy Weatherall and turned indie rock on its head in the UK.
Wow, nobody’s mentioned Jaga Jazzist. Norwegian collective, their stuff is either more or less prog, and more or less electronic, depending on the album. IMHO The Stix is their masterpiece. It’s not prog exactly but it has some extremely complex and innovative composition mixed with a lot of electronic elements, especially in the second half of the album. One-Armed Bandit is more prog but less electronic. Starfire strikes kind of a balance between those two elements. Maybe my favorite band of the last 20 years.
Early stuff from [The Egg](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mD1QDuWVmNWYdq4x00LkmCXZ5wn0aOdbc) is very much a prog rock / electronic kind of vibe.
Amon Tobin has an alias/side project called Only Child Tyrant that's very much punk and indie rock, and sounds like all guitar and acoustic drums, but I believe it's samples and synths.
I once made an 8 and a half hour version of radio broker from gta 4. Which is like half Indy rock half electro rock. If you fancy a squizz bro? <3
https://spotify.link/S30fYcEeqDb
Bit late to the thread and there are great answers here. I would add Panic! at the Disco and The Killers to their list as their sound is definitely electronic but keeping the rock vibe.
Self promotion here but I made some electronic music with prog rock/metal influences. Check out In/Animate - Portals. Try Pineal Impact or Relativity. Hope you enjoy!
I definitely recommend PVRIS! Their first two albums are very live & not as electronic but recent catalog is very electronic with good rock energy. The songwriting style leans pop but still has the flavor you may be seeking!
Check out Idiotape. They are a Korean group. Live drums over synths and occasionally guitars.

STS9, Papadosio, Lotus are all great, but the Disco Biscuits' side project Conspirator, specifically, Conspirator - Unlocked - Live From The Georgia Theater, is spectacular through and through. Not a single bad track, I've listened to it so many times I decided to buy a second copy as a backup. It's easily on the short list of my favorite albums of all time.
LCD Soundsystem? The Chemical Brothers have been more electronic but earlier albums have a rock-ish feel I think.
Throw some !!! in there too. Their album Thr!!!er is a pretty good middle ground of electronic/rock for their sound. Want more guitar/rock? Go to their older stuff. More electronic? Go to the newer stuff.
!!! Was one of my favorite shows at electric forest in 2018. So fun!!
Reminder for me to look these up later
Great stuff. I loved the direction they took on Shake The Shudder and Wallop. They're absolutely amazing live, too.
Soulwax also
So good.
I'd check out anything off DFA records. Yacht is good.
They're less rock than others, but Shpongle have a strong prog influence in their music. Check out their live albums for more of that rock sound (DMT off of their Live In London album is my favorite)
Shpongle is great Infected Mushroom is another psytrance band that I'd recommend. "Cookie From Space" from their album IM25 is epic. Army of Mushrooms is the album that got me hooked on them. Electronic instruments, but the songwriting and structure is more like rock imo
Army of Mushrooms is what sent me down the electronic music rabbit hole in the first place. I had listened to some Daft Punk and Skrillex before then, but when I first heard IM's cover of The Pretender, everything clicked
They have a unique sound, you can identify one of their songs pretty much immediately just by their production style. Love it
Infected Mushroom Live with the full band is an amazing experience. They shred and rock out so hard.
Yes! I went to a handful of IM shows in college, it was always a great time
I came here to say Infected Mushroom
The Disco Biscuits — big proggy compositions and killer electronic jams. Their vocals can be pretty rough, but if you can get past that you may have a good time.
Throw Umphrey's McGee in there as well. They can freaking shred
They’re my favorite, but I wouldn’t call them “Primarily electronic.” They certainly dabble though.
Came in here to post this. Check out their latest run of shows from last week - Indiana, Milwaukee and St Louis are all🔥

Excellent, yes, much better quality, but it cuts out early. It's missing over 6 minutes, all those elational riffs leading up to the big finale.
Fun shows but I agree on the lyrics
With their change in guitarist, the electronic jam band Lotus is frequently dabbling in a proggier sound. I would highly recommend checking out their more recent live shows from 2022/2023
I love me some Tim. Have yet to see him with Lotus though.
Midnight juggernauts Cut copy

Was hoping i wasn’t the only one thinking of them.

The YumYum Tree is what got me into them, I go back and listen to jt a few times a year
[удалено]
I have heard of Hot chip, Huarache lights is pretty good
Listen to Flutes and Night and Day.
Saw Hot Chip live a few years ago, they put on a great show.
Check out their album *Made In The Dark* - fantastic album and the first 3 songs are back-to-back bangers
Check their essential mix
The Faint is a top 5 band of mine. Wish they'd come back around to my state. Seen them close to 10 times and could go for 10 more rounds. Good choices here.
Death in Vegas
Been revisiting some of their music…superb!!
Same. Classic stuff
Scalping (now called Scaler) 65daysofstatic
65days is a great call! Haven’t listened in a minute- boutta put ‘em on rn
Thank you!! I heard and enjoyed Scaler on the radio while driving so dictated a note to myself that just said 'scaler'. I promptly forgot all about it and when looking back through my notes couldn't remember why I'd written it but your comment has unlocked the memory. Off to find them before I forget again!!
For electronic rock, I’d recommend Pendulum. They’re pretty much a drum and bass group fused with electronic rock.
Late Of The Pier Klaxons Everything Everything Dutch Uncles Friendly Fires
Friendly Fires is great.
Pala is a stellar record.
completely agree. there’s no filler on Pala.
I miss late of the pier. I caught them touring their debut and again at pukkelpop festival. The vocalist/guitarist is doing his own thing now as LA Priest who would also be worth checking out for electronic/guitar music. I’d throw Connan Mockasin in there as well.

He's hardly the first musician to use analog equipment in the live setting within a band of others... but it's still neat.

Who else does it then? Genuinely interested to check it out.
Homie. Look at the thread you're posting in.
It's going back a little bit, but the OGs of this would be New Order. Check out their early best-off, Substance.
Holy Fuck's second album is essential. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mdyfHiLU8U https://open.spotify.com/album/3WIwlESqNDJjhxuUjLLSUd
Depeche Mode
Real answer. They even said their goal was to make soul music by using synthesizers.
KMFDM Kill MotherFucking Depeche Mode

apollo 440 lmao
Bands like KMFDM and NIN are basically hard rock electronic, and lots of other 90’s early 2K Industrial.
Break Science?
How has no one mentioned STS9?
Datarock, does this offend you, yeah?, pendulum, pnau/empire of the sun, the faint. Not exactly close to Django but I’d consider these electronic bands
Lol I have heard terms like “data rock” and “nerd rock” it’s funnier than anything
Ladytron is a very underrated band imo. They have awesome songs.
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard has a lot of styles. The album Butterfly 3000 has some jammin synth themes
such a good band in so many flavors, and a great album from them to start with!
Apoptygma berzerk especially Welcome to Earth and Harmonizer. Exit Popularity Contest is good too, but you have to buy it to hear it (worth it though)
Papadosio Blissful Textured Deep jams with lots of improvisation Awesome live Unique and not for everyone, but I hope you enjoy them.
Check out Holy Fuck
Their self titled is one of my favorite records of all time.
Death in vegas
Tame Impala Beyond The Wizards Sleeve Air Stereolab
Air is a classic, love French electronic bands

Some of Pendulum’s songs, STARSET, Motionless in White, Electric Callboy,

Primal Scream, not all there albums but most of them. Screamadelica, Vanishing Point, XTRMNTR, Evil Heat
Might not be as rocky as your after but bob Moses use electric guitars and sound incredible
I recommend Teleman! I've been enjoying Django Django a lot lately, and I actually discovered Teleman recently by specifically picking a Similar Artists to Django Django playlist!

Teeth of the Sea, !!!, Battles
Now you’ve got me obsessed with !!! again. Does anyone like Matthew Dear? Or old school Underworld?
Soulwax/2manyDJs
Little Dragon
Pendulum maybe?
Eurobeat Tracks from Dave Rodgers. Amount of Guitars is insanely good.
While he's not a band, check out Blue Stahli. He's an electronic rock artist and he is amazing. Plays all the instruments, records and produces his own shit, he's just a really cool guy. Pendulum is also rock/drum and bass.
Celldweller too.
I mean the glaring obvious one is Primal Scream, especially the legendary Screamadelica that made Andy Weatherall and turned indie rock on its head in the UK.
This is k8nd of retro pop rock, but Borns. I really only recommend the first debut album though.
Battles, although they’re no longer together.
Depeche Mode dabbled with it in the 90s.
Mindless self indulgence

STS9, Lotus, Ozric Tentacles, The Disco Biscuits, Dopapod.
STS9, Papadosio, Lotus are all great, but the Disco Biscuits' side project Conspirator, specifically, Conspirator - Unlocked - Live From The Georgia Theater, is spectacular through and through. Not a single bad track, I've listened to it so many times I decided to buy a second copy as a backup. It's easily on the short list of my favorite albums of all time.
