Ratatat

Ratatat is an electronic music duo with guitarist Mike Stroud and synthesizer driver and producer Evan Mast. Stroud and Mast originally met as students at Skidmore College, but did not work together musically until 2001. Ratatat is like a mash up of Electronic Indie Rock and Stoner Psychedelic... with Lo-Fi 8-bit tones. This is really one of the more original sounding bands I have heard in awhile.  You may have heard (and seen) Ratatat in a couple of Kid Cudi tracks, specifically In the Pursuit of Happiness (featured in my 420 playlist) and Alive (embedded below).

Kid Cudi Featuring Ratatat - Alive:

420 Trance (err, whatever...?) Playlist

Trance, again, is more of a blanket term. It sounds better than "Xenomusic616 Electronica and Industial and Stuff" haha.  Anyway, on to the music:

A couple of tracks in celebration of this most revered holiday. A couple music videos, and another awesome track!

Ratatat - Drugs:

Watch this video, it means something while you are stoned... It means its friggin' trippy. Like a more listenable Aphex Twin IMO.



Kid Cudi - Pursuit of Happiness (Megaforce Version):

The better music video version of this song, watch it, dig it.



The Glitch Mob - Animus Vox:

Fear of Tigers

While not exactly Trance as requested, but I have plenty of Electro and Dance to pick from. It might seem cheesy, but if nothing else its nostalgic, much like other Techno / Electro I used to listen to.

I found this group about 2 months ago, probably randomly stumbling through YouTube. "Fear of Tigers is a electronic band from London, United Kingdom formed by producer and tree surgeon Benjamin Berry, who was born in Japan." His debut album "Cossus Snufsigalonica" as a free download! Get it here.

These are from said album, hope (at least some of) you like it!
