Today we look at #50 to #41 of my most scrobbled electronic artists of 2018.
#50 Harmonia
70s German Psychedelic and Kautrock band formed by Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius of Cluster and Michael Rother of Neu!.
#49 Basic Channel
If I’m correct, they invented dub techno – at least I don’t know of anyone who did it earlier. They were a highly influential producer duo and one of my favorite projects of all time. Along with Wolfgang Voigt, Kotai+Mo from the Elektro Music Department, Drexciya and B12, they ruled the 90ies.
#48 Arpanet
The third Detroit Electro project involving Gerald Donald to make it into the Top 100.
#47 Isolée
Popular Microhouse artist from Frankfurt.
#46 Terrence Parker
Gospel House producer from Detroit.
#45 Pye Corner Audio
Hauntology (this is a genre I haven’t heard of before) producer producer from UK.
#44 D.I.E.
Detroit In Effect is a Techno Bass and Detroit Electro duo from, well, Detroit. They made many great tracks like Space Travel and Other People, but this is also a great one:
#43 Patrick Cowley
One of the most prolific Space Disco and Hi-NRG producer from USA. He did the famous 15 minutes version of Donna Summer’s mega-hit I Feel Love (I had this on vinyl on one time). I always listen to the epic Going Home when leaving the hospital after a longer stay. Crowley wrote the track shortly before dying of AIDS in 1982.
#42 Blue Knights
Relaxing Chillout and Smooth Jazz band.
#41 Steffi
The first female solo artist to appear in this list. Steffi produces some of the world’s most beautiful Tech House tracks and does also Dutch Electro.
