Electronic music is nearly as old as circuitry itself, but the ‘90s marked its worldwide heyday. That's when the U.S. house and the U.K. rave cultures of the previous decade collided and splintered in every direction. Breakbeats stormed the pop charts, giving us the high-energy big beat of The Prodigy and The Chemical Brothers; at the same time, Aphex Twin and Autechre followed their machines down a rabbit hole of dizzyingly complex programming. And old-school sounds thrived in the soulful Detroit techno of Underground Resistance spinoffs Galaxy 2 Galaxy and the silky disco-house of France's Daft Punk.
