So, the PA forums have turned me on to such good things as okgo and leslie hall. Can you recommend me some other good bands along these lines:
Happy like Architecture in Helsinki
Techno/Electro like Daft Punk but not techno/lectro enough to be J-pop D:
Yeah, so those are my only two requirements.
My favorite bands are Architecture in Helsinki, Daft Punk, Leslie Hall, Amy Winehouse, Okgo.
Anything along these lines would be great thanks.

    First two bands that came to mind for me were Of Montreal and Stereolab.

    I may be back with something a little more in depth after some thought/research.

    Wow, I totally forgot about Aphex Twin. I would put him more on the disturbed side than the happy side.

    Also, pick up some of the Kitsune compilations. They're a French electronica label and I've found some of my favourite artists through them.

    http://www.last.fm is pretty good for expanding musical tastes. Personally I'd recommend Justice and Danger for your doses of French house, and definitely second Of Montreal.

    Justice and Of Montreal are what I'm thinking. Also, listen to Astronautalis, just for the hell of it.
