Electronic Pop | House
Crystal Stilts is a NY band that reminds me of Joy Division with glimpses of Jesus and Mary Chain. Their gloomy rock with a hint of surf rock is something that would sound great in a pub like setting just reverberating off the walls and becoming this mesh of sound that engulfs you.

Ok, I’m going back in time to 1997 for what many consider one of the very first electro-clash tracks called, “Space Invaders Are Smoking Grass” by I-F.
Here is a little background of I-F via wikipedia:
I-F (short for Inter-Ference; real name Ferenc E. van der Sluijs) is a producer and DJ based in The Hague, The Netherlands. He is a former member of the Dutch electro pioneers Unit Moebius. In 1997 he produced the track “Space Invaders Are Smoking Grass”, which became a huge underground dance hit and is often credited the earliest example of Electroclash, although I-F himself has been of critical interest in the Electroclash scene.
