Oh wait

Justice are Belgian, replace that with Para One. Maybe.

homesick_alien | 24 Dec '06, 16:28 | Send note | Report this | Reply

I thought they were French?
There's lots of good Belgian and German electro artists but my head hurts and I can't think

Rose-Kitten | 24 Dec '06, 16:35 | Send note | Report this | Reply

Daft punk.

just Daft Punk.

There are too many brilliant French electronic artists

but in no particular order and currently

Daft Punk
Black Strobe (Ivan Smagghe and Arnaud Rebotini - seriously, anything they do)Justice
SebastiAn
DJ Medhi
Air
my favourite Frenchman, Francois (aka Kirmann)
Ummm... No, Ho Fo, Seb Tellier ain't electro.. he's dreamy piano loops and more jazz than anything.

Rose-Kitten | 24 Dec '06, 16:33 | Send note | Report this | Reply

Noze!

my favourites of the moment.
Second BlackStrobe and SebastiAn.
Ettienne De Crecy?

my justice anecdote of the day:

the scene: my bedroom, wrapping presents.
enter dad's wife's girlfriend.
sountrack: nina nastasia

girl: "dont you like cheese?"
me: "no"
girl: "so what do you dance to in nightclubs?"
*christopher puts on Waters of Nazereth*
girl: "how the hell do you dance to that?"
me: "its dance music"
girl: "do they say anything"
*christopher shakes his head and puts on The Knife*

alcxxk | 24 Dec '06, 18:57 | Send note | Report this | Reply

my top 5

Daft Punk
Air
M83
Justice

Colder - can't believe no one has mentioned them yet! EVERYONE go get their album Again - you won't be disapointed!

on this subject... i've never seen a french band that was good live though.. odd that!

Interesting.

vitalic (according to the artist page)

although i thought he was belgian for some reason.

maybe neither?

al_la | 10 Jan '07, 17:54 | Send note | Report this | Reply

either way, the guy is a genius

would appear that the new album rumours are just that, unless someone can google better than me.

A french electronica artist.....

doesn't always sound particularly electronic but by far and away THE best:
Kid Loco

the_sad_oak_hunt | 10 Jan '07, 21:42 | Send note | Report this | Reply

Daft Punk came close, but for me it's

1. Etienne de Crecy
2. Etienne de Crecy
3. Etienne de Crecy
4. Etienne de Crecy
5. Etienne de Crecy

Aside from that, most things coming out of Ed Banger are pretty ace. And Justice are most definitely French

Stereo Total?

are they french/electronic? I saw them supporting the Strokes at Cambridge Corn Exchange back in '02. They were pretty cool.
