can't say that I really listen to much of that commercialized stuff, but if you haven't listened to Justice's 'Cross' album, you're missing out.

if you're into that, you'd be into Daft Punk as well.

You like Justice, Equinox? I wouldn't have guessed.

And in response to the thread, a few off the top of my head, no particular order:

Justice
M.I.A.
Ratatat
Santogold
Girl Talk (not exactly the same sub-genre as the bands you listed, but pretty much everyone who's into what you listed likes Girl Talk)
Daft Punk
MSTRKRFT
!!! (I never felt like listening to this band was worthwhile when you could be listening to LCD Soundsystem, but a lot of people like them)
Crystal Castles

There's more out there, if I think of some good ones I'll edit them in. Stuff like MGMT, LCD Soundsystem, etc. I don't really think of as electronic, more like pop in an electronic setting.

don't assume, my friend. even though the majority of their songs have the same type bassline, they're catchy as hell. i like a lot of dance oriented stuff, just not cheesy crap that gets overplayed to the general masses.

Technically there was no assumption, I just would've doubted it. I guess I don't typically think of you liking music based on catchiness. I know you really don't like M.I.A., who I associate with the same audience as Justice.
