I know that this is pretty wide genre, but I'll give you an example of music in this genre that I like - at the moment I'm really into the track "This Heart" by the group Bloodgroup (you can listen to it here: http://www.myspace.com/bloodgroup)

I'm also digging this track by the group Sykur :


So, do y'all know of any artists or specific tracks I should check out?

eh...

try some Tough Alliance, Junior Boys, Kisses, Chromatics, the Knife...
They're all kindof different and occasionally pussy, but I like 'em.
