despite her suffering from a severe case of overexposure, the Miss Kittin
and the Hacker collaborative album on Gigolo is really great. i also enjoyed
her collaborations with Golden Boy on his "Or" album on Ladomat2000.
if you like "hand to phone" by Adult you should pick up "resuscitation" as
it's more of the same, with a few even better tracks like "pressure suit"
and "nausea."
I really personally like the Peaches and Chicks on Speed stuff although they
don't sound very similar to one another, nor do they sound similar to most
of what's tagged "electroclash"... Peaches is more of a DIY indie sound, all
on a groovebox, and Chicks on Speed's K Records release runs the gamut from
new wave (B-52's covers) to noise (courtesy of treatments from Gerhard
Potuznik and Patrick Pulsinger).
Other recommendations:
Hakan Lidbo "Sexy Robot" (Lasergun)
Alek Stark "Highway to Disko" (Disko B)
TokTok vs. Soffy O "Missy Queen's Gonna Die"/"Missy Queen Remixes" (B Pitch
Control)
Sascha Funke "When Will I Be Famous" (B Pitch)
Smash TV "Electrified" (B Pitch)
Ladytron "604"/"Light & Magic" (Emperor Norton)
there are good comps on Gigolo (the new 2CD Vol. 6 is worth getting), Ersatz
Audio (Adult's label), also B Pitch comps although mostly that label
trascends "electroclash" with more interesting material, more IDM crossover
and techno appeal (actually one of my favorite labels alongside Kompakt)...
