Concerning electronical music, the real highlight is Aphex Twin. Seems like this guy is the beginning to anything else : his sound is just the discovery of new colors, from his early 90's compositions to his most recent works. Then come Autechre and Squarepusher, completing what is called the "Warp Trinity" (all 3 are signed at Warp Records). After that, artists like Bola, Boards Of Canada, Arovane, Air, and Parov Stelar manage to put a lot of emotion, sensibility and feeling in their music. In terms of groove and intensity, Daft Punk have been a model for the french scene during years; nowadays, artists as Justice, Kavinsky and SebastiAn are considered as their most impressive heritage (even if SebastiAn plays a hard, violent and cut music, keeping this intensity though). Then, in the end, Murcof, Vladislav Delay and Monolake, as exemple, play some dark ambient minimalist music, really obscure and often melancholic.
