Here's a few:
Shapiro, Peter, ed. 2000. Modulations : Throbbing Words on Sound : A
History of Electronic Music. New York: Caipirinha Productions. [one of
the best written sources at this moment]
Ishkur. 2004. Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music 2004.
http://www.di.fm/edmguide/edmguide.html (accessed Apr 1 2004).
[surprisingly useful!]
Feige, Marcel. 2000. Deep in Techno: die ganze Geschichte des
Movements. Berlin: Schwarzkopf & Schwarzkopf. [If you can read German,
an interesting recounting of electronic music (all genres) from a
European perspective]
Reynolds, Simon. 1998. Generation ecstasy: into the world of techno and
rave culture. Boston: Little, Brown. [I have so many problems with this
book, but it's still an important source, if only for its collection of
quotes and anecdotes from important figures]
_____. 2003. Intelligent Dance Music, January 22 2003.
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligent_dance_music (accessed April 7
2003). [Part of the Wikipedia project, interesting because it's
team-edited.]
I've got *tons* more, but I think this should keep ya busy.
