I have been accused of only listening to old school funk or old school rock. Like I don't get into anything new.Absolute rubbish. And to prove I had to show my cd collection. In doing so,I also realized how many "electronic" cd's I have. I am including stuff from all varieties like chill,ambient,downbeat,trance,trip hop...whatever.I think of it all the same way and I really dig the stuff.I will list some of the best stuff I've heard and say that I am leaving off some stuff by artists like Prince,gabriel,etc.( I am really tempted to include 1999-Prince really influenced artists like BT and Tricky) This doesn't include everything,but it's the best of what I've heard.

I also like poppy stuff on Ministry of Sound's Anual 2005 Euro Import.

I would add The Avalanches & Soulwax.

My favourite is Amon Tobin, definitely.
Maybe you've heard of him, I think he's also on the ninja tunes label.
