What I've Learned About French Electro



If you've been sleeping through the new electro movement, you might have missed the fact that many of the gems that are emerging are coming from France.

"Electro house," to be more exact, is led by the likes of SebastiAn, Danger, and Teenage Bad Girl - all French artists. Bands like Justice and MSTRKRFT are injecting new alt/indie/new rave sounds into the rapidly expanding genre, bringing us to electro today which is, as Keegan so perfectly put it "creating some of the most intense, energetic and driving music being produced."

Electro is quickly becoming a choice genre of the altkids and slowly taking over the mainstream. In the coming years it will surely shed the stereotypes that have plagued it for generations. In fact, don't be surprised if electro alone completely changes the face of the world... bringing with it flying cars, plastic clothes, and SPACE!!

But you don't need me to tell you about electro. You know.
