Electronic Producers That Also Sing?

Maleek · 01-08-2016, 09:02 PM

I have sort of a love-hate relationship with EDM. I honestly think a lot of it is just simple and boring. But, when I find an electronic track that I find good, I listen to it every day until I wear it out.

Anyways, I'm looking for electronic producers (any sub-genre of it) that also provide vocals for their own tracks. A good example of what I mean is Owl City. Someone who makes electronic music, but can also sing.

If you know of any like that, please link them! Thanks!

Infected Mushroom sing on a few of their tracks. Tracks like this one:

Infected Mushroom - Cities Of The Future

Underworld frontman Karl Hyde is a producer, writer of floor-stomping anthems, collaborator with Brian Eno and many other associated acts, the head of the brilliant and world-famous design collective, Tomato, a poet, and his vocals have appeared on nearly every incarnation of UW, from Screen Gemz to Freur, to Lemon Interupt, to Mr. and Mrs. Christmas, to Underworld Mks I-III, to This is Scenius, to Eno & Hyde, to his solo work as well as music for cinema and stage.

This guy is in the vein of Owl City, IMO. Leans more toward electronic pop.

Oh Snap It's Luke! - "Starchaser"

Fox Stevenson, formerly known as Stan B, is another EDM producer who sings on a lot of his own productions. I like his voice, although your opinion may vary, and his work leans more into "bro territory" than what you might be looking for (dubstep/drum 'n bass). Something more indie would be The Eden Project. Although his stuff gets uploaded a lot, I'm not a fan.

Apparat sings on his own tracks as well as a part of the band Moderat which is him collaborating with the guys from Modeselektor.

There's roughly 100 different musical categories for electronic music, and certain categories are all artists that produce, write, and sing all of their own music. Just to name a few artists...

Funker Vogt
God Module
Grimes
Suicide Commando
X-Fusion

There are thousands of bands like those, where the producer of the electronic sounds also play instruments, write their own lyrics, and also sing in them.

There are electronic producers who sing in all electronic genres. Speaking of music similar to Owl City - The Chainsmokers are the first who come to mind. You probably heard them in the radio:

Some artists from other genres I personally favor:

Empire Of The Sun

Moderat (as recommended above)

James Blake

Moby

If you like Owl City you'd probably enjoy the one album Ben Gibbard of Death Cab For Cutie did together with Jimmy Tamborello of Dntl as The Postal Service. Especially the earlier work of Owl City is very much directly influenced by The Postal Service.
