What are Some Good Alternative Music Artists?

What are some good alternative music artists such as Tycho, Empire of The Sun, Justice, Pnau, Harwell, etc. I'm looking mostly for some techno/dubstep/softstep mixed with rap put together kind of genre. Anybody mind introducing me to some artists please?

Wow. Has the term "alternative" shifted that much??? I opened this thinking it was going to be about REM, Pearl Jam, Dinosaur Jr, etc.

Those I know about... the dubstep - not so much.

Hacktivist fits the bill you described.

Also not rap but similar music to what you described would be "The Algorithm"

Technically a mix of those two would fit what you described hehe.

Exactly what I thought too

Sorry OP can't help you with that kind of Alternative

Well you might like my song Repentance...

It's like a mix of techno, dumbstep and rap lol...it actually is, which is quite weird since you said you we're looking for that.

soundcloud.com...

The lyrics are in the comments, you might enjoy them since you are on ATS too.

Yeah I was also thinking about Rock/Alternative!

It's actually the usual style I compose in.

yeah ..
hate that term
"Alternative music"

so overused during the 90's

Not really what you are looking for but tried to take things from my library which are sort of close to what you asked for.


Covenant: Stalker


Blutengel: You Walk Away
(has a very old school SoM feel to it so not really what you want I guess


Sneaky Bat Machine: Trick or Treat


Seraphim Shock: Prey
A little bit harder style then the other bands I listed.


and to close it out..an old song that is still amazing..

Stabbing Westward: Shame

Most folks don't know the real alternatives in music.

You definatly have to check out "dub fx" absolutely incredible and you can truly appriciate how great this is when you watch a live performance. Little tip though, if you watch some on YouTube watch a street performance.
