Miwa Ogasawara - Aufgang (2013)
Aesop Rock probably isn't your first choice when you consider what we've posted before, but this one is a serious contender for me, I'm sure you'll be able to figure out why if you know me a little and pay attention to Aes' lines he lays down here.

I always Ladytron having a much more moodier output than they do. Maybe it's an Electroclash conditioning thing coming off the heels of Kittin & The Hacker's joints. Regardless, when they do go down that route it's always golden. If Gary Numan and Kraftwerk showed us anything it's that synthesizers are brilliant backings for the downbeat.

And finally we're just going to revisit an old favourite of mine. I've written a bit about Seefeel before, granted their not everyone's bag and all but I still say this is probably the finest example (alongside Spangle from the Starethrough EP) of what they do well. This track in particular is just lush with sounds.

It's great that you posted a Ladytron song. But they don't have anything to do with Electroclash. They never felt part of a scene, only lazy journalists lumped them with other artists.
This is true, 604 was much more house-y than the techno roots of people like Kittin + Hacker.
I throw the term around them cos I think it sells them better to readers, like even though I hate calling it IDM I still do just for convenience!
