Sounds like Tech House-influenced Electronica to me. The lines are so thin between sub-genres now, it's really hard to tell you which to look for.

A good place to preview a lot of different Electronic music sub-genres is www.beatport.com
There's a multitude of artists and a lot of different sub-genres and thousands of songs... so it's a good place to get a feel for an Electronic music genre and find artists as well. The clips aren't very high-quality nor are they clips of the entire song, but they're well enough for you to zero in on a particular sound and narrow your scope.
Hope that helps.

I'd like some artists similiar to Daft Punk and Justice. Other than Trip-Hop this is like the only Electronica I like so fancy broadoning my horizons.

I don't listen to much Daft Punk or Justice but I know what they sound like. Here are a couple suggestions off the beaten path. As an added bonus, they are also both French.

Mr. Oizo











Jackson and His Computer Band

Looks like you won't go far wrong with some Crystal Method, Leftfield and/or FSOL - three artists more than good enough to get anyone started further down the old electronic avenue. If you want specific album recs, drop me a PM sometime.

The artists that spring to mind in terms of similarity are Digitalism and Kavinsky

I want to find more purely instrumental, non-dance songs like Eskamon's "Fine Objects": abstract, non-repetitive, crunchy, gritty, menacing, aggressive, solid, and raw, like you're smashing something to smithereens with a large club. Chaotic. I know I don't want a repetitive dance beat or vocals in my ideal dubstep songs.

I've listened through songs in the Dubstep thread, thanks to sidewinder's suggestion, and some more songs by Eskamon (and Amon Tobin and Eskmo), and Cris Clark but I haven't found many songs that have the satisfying heavy, sinister feel I'm searching for, which I especially hear beginning around 0:23 and 1:30 in "Fine Objects."

As another example of what I want (and don't want), I like the menacing sound in "Dark Matter" by Sinister Beats, though I wish it had more bass and I could do without the frilly, repetitive, insipid pitter-pat of rapid drumming. And I like the heavy, sinister feeling of "Venom" (which dieselboy listed in the non-dance electronica thread) except I dislike the woman's voice in the beginning and the drumming gets repetitive, as does the whole song.

Feed me.
