We've padded out the scene surrounding Daft Punk by adding artists who contributed to the 'French Touch' movement, prominent in the late 90s and early 00s. We've also added Soulwax and Tame Impala, who both evolved from rock into electronic music and ended up collaborating with each other and with Justice.
Germany's techno scene has been a big contributing factor in the shaping of a great deal of the mainstream electronic music we hear today. It's for that reason that we have added some of the scenes influential and adjacent DJ's and producers.

Detroit techno traditionalists, Underground Resistance, have been torch carriers of the movement since the late 80s, sticking firmly to the sonic foundations set by The Belleville Three. Fellow Detroiter, Moodymann, famous for infusing electronic music with jazz and soul, shares the same ethos of preserving and protecting Black American electronic dance music culture.

Patrick Cowley, Cerrone and Alexander Robotnick helped shape electronic dance music in its disco / Italo routes through early experimental uses of synthesisers and drum machines.
