Best Electronic Bands in Austin

No longer simply the “Live Music Capital of the World”, Austin, Texas has become a hotbed for today’s up and coming electronic musicians. Austin has experienced an explosive growth in its population, bringing an influx of multi-talented individuals.

Many of these migrants have also put their capabilities to work in the electronic music scene. Several of these transplants along with some long time Austonians, have successfully bridged the gap between Austin’s new and old by fusing this new style of programmable music into Austin’s traditional eclectic music scene.

While Austin has lost some of its “weird” identity to corporatization, some fantastic musicians are reinventing the scene and helping Austin become a well known exporter of all kinds of electronic music. Best Electronic Bands in Austin explores the electronic scene showcasing bands and artists we feel best represent the spirit of Austin and make music we believe stands out above the rest.

Dance Me Like That by Party Wolfe

Featured Artist

The electronic music of A.J. Vincent is Party Wolfe. Born from a love of EDM, dancing, and rock and roll, Party Wolfe is all original dance music that really sets itself apart from the common threads of EDM. A hybrid of Justice, Daft Punk, Com Truise with some solos and harmonies thrown in, Party Wolfe is a genre-less EDM sound that is ripe to be discovered.

re/coil by Dread Risks.

Featured Artist

Think Wax Trax. Think of the most awesome days of industrial music. When you hear Dread Risks, you’ll get the old-school, juicy, pounding, basslines and thick percussion sounds that are guaranteed to bring back the fondest of memories of one of electronic music’s greatest era. Though the songs are new, the feeling is the same. We can’t say enough good things about how this duo and are impressed with how they managed to nail the sound so precisely.

High Rise by Mini Turbo

Featured Artist

Newly added to the Electronic ATX artist listings, Mini Turbo is an instrumental synthwave artist based in Austin, TX. If you fused Daft Punk with the soundtracks of video games made in the late 80’s and early 90’s you would get pretty close to the sound of Mini Turbo. Debut Album “Lasers Of Love” is a melody driven high energy fusion of synthwave, funk, and prog.
