I wasn't a fan of Electro House, got tired and overplayed VERY quick.
Check out all the Electroclash stuff from 2000/2001, that stuff is TIMELESS and the best electronic stuff since the 80's (Human League, Depeche Mode etc.) Synth-driven, melodic electro, with decent lyrics for a change!
Fischerspooner - Emerge (the ANTHEM for this period of music), Sweetness, Megacolon, The 15th ... try and find the video for Sweetness as well, STUNNING stuff, basically a shortfilm. Their second album Odyssey which came out after Electroclash had fizzled out was VERY good. The tracks Never Win, We Need A War, Just Let Go ...
Ladytron - Seventeen (CLASSIC), Playgirl, Cease 2 Exist, Evil, Light & Magic ...
Soviet - Candy Girl and ANYTHING for their album 'We Are Eyes, We are Builders (very, VERY unappreciated album)
Console - Surin' Atari (VERY Kill Bill), Suck And Run, Your God Eats Me, Dirt On The Wire
Waldorf - You're My Disco (another Electroclash CLASSIC)
Felix Da Housecat - Harlot, Madame Hollywood, Glitz Rock, Silven Screen Shower Scene (AMAZING), Happy Hour
Golden Boy - Autopilot, Rippin' Kittin, Nix
Pleasure - Don't Look The Other Way (features Justine from Elastica on vocals)
The Dysfunctional Psychedelic Waltons - Payback Time (LOVE this track)
Miss Kittin - 1982, Frank Sinatra (probably the best Electroclash track along with Emerge), Nurse
Larry Tee - Supermodel, Confusion (New Order remix, also remixed for the start of Blade 1)

Basically ALL of the (very) shortlived Electroclash era holds up today. I play em all in my DJ sets, and everyone thinks they've just come out!
The sign of good music ...
