what type of electronic music are you talking about here? if you're talking about EDM then house & techno started in Chicago & Detroit (who the brits were heavily influenced by when they started their own EDM scene in the late 80's)

I'm mainly talking origins, i.e electroacoustic, musique concrète, tape music, and synthesizer-pop (krautrock and progressive electronic). I definitely agree that EDM came from the US.

It does irritate me how many IDM artists are from the UK though. The only American artist in the genre that was "early" to the punch and I've grown to like is Casino Versus Japan.

I've got more US artists among my favorites than British artists, but the ratio of British to US artists is still very solid given the much smaller size of the country.

This proves nothing, except that Britain seems to have more musical artists per capita that I personally like, than the US does.

OP speaks the truth.

It's just one of those things I guess.

Oppression brings out creativity in most scenario's, so take that and run with it.

UK punches above its weight in lots of things.
I have a feeling we are basically just talking about English artists though tbh. Which obviously makes it even smaller.

OP said the British Isles but that would include the ROI and I don't think we are counting that, I don't think we are including Scottish, Northern Irish or Welsh artists either. Or are we?

18 posts, I am surprised it took that long for you to turn this into a race issue.

England isn't just white people either, silly.

The resident white nationalist was sure quick onto this scene.

Frank Auerbach is probably my favourite British artist.

How do you know OP is white or a he?

Classic whitey enjoying English music. As usual it's just him and his oppressive cronies listening to that claptrap. Bet he hasn't even heard Buena Vista Social Club.
