Electro for Metal fans

[Tsotsi 169]

Hi all,

I'm sure this topic has been done before, if so FANTASTIC post some links.

A friend in his 30's who has spent his life listening to metal is trying to get into electronic music. No specific genre as of yet, the only descriptor is that he likes epic and melodic music.

Last time he listenened to electronic it was when Skrillex and Basement Jax were in their prime. Modern EDM seems to immature for a guy that listened to heavy metal.

Any recommendations of where to get the guy started? 

So far I have:-

Moderat

Jon Hopkins

Morcheeba

Bad Tango

Mood Deluxe

Kino oko

Opiuo

Jon Bovi

Zirrex (sneaking it in)

Zen Baboon

Thievery corporation

 

So I guess anything unique with its own flava profile that can get him hooked in some direction or another.
