A style of electronic music fusing elements of techno, punk and 80âs synth pop. Epitomised by a move away from the largely DJ-driven dance music of the 90âs towards a more performance-based format with a much stronger emphasis on lyrical content. Essential early influences include 80âs synth artists like Gary Numan, New Order, pre âDareâ Human League (eg: âBeing Boiledâ), The Normal with âWarm Leatheretteâ and the dark disco style of Giorgio Moroder. Aesthetically the movement owes much to the 80âs cult sci-fi film âLiquid Skyâ.
The term âElectroclashâ was coined (and copyrighted) by New York DJ Larry Tee who staged the first âElectroclashâ festival in 2001 grouping together likeminded electro artists including Fisherspooner, A.R.E. Weapons, Adult., Peaches, Chicks on Speed and Ladytron. The term gained widespread currency that same year when established DJ Felix Da Housecat teamed up with the High Priestess of Electroclash, Miss Kitten to produce âSilver Screen - Shower Sceneâ, giving the movement itâs first worldwide smash hit.
Lary Teeâs act of copyrighting the term âElectroclashâ appears to have alienated many artists who now furiously deny any association with it leading to some uncertainty of where the movementâs boundaries actually lie. This situation has been further compounded by later bandwagon jumpers latching on to the movementâs more obvious clichéâs (eg: vocoded vocals and lyrics about androids) resulting in some ridicule incurred by the independent artists being undeservedly heaped upon the wider movement.
