Mouse On The Keys

Japanese Post-Rock & Math Rock

Clean twin guitars, drums played as lead instrument, odd meters delivered like pop — Tokyo and Kyoto, 2000 onward.

Chicago House

A drum machine, a cheap sampler and a church-raised voice — the blueprint every dance record still borrows.

Detroit Techno

Drum machines built into science fiction: Black futurism from a collapsing motor city, made for the floor.
