Are there any Christian dance/electronica groups in mainstream Christian contemporary music?

Question

I had some songs on my iPod that were Christian dance songs. I loved them and I wondered if there are any groups out there who record this kind of music.

In the "Mainstream"? Maybe a few. Most are relatively "under the radar", so to speak. The first 2 names that usually come up are Scott Blackwell & AJ Mora. Think of these guys as the Van Dyk/Oakenfold of Christian Electronica. There are many others, running the gamut from fun praise-chorus remixes to bangin' industrial. Stylistically, you can find Dance, Techno, House, Ambient, Downtempo, Breakbeat, Trance, Hard Trance, Goa, Goth & Industrial... and a few others that defy classification.

My iPod currently contains:
Apt.Core
Andy Hunter (heard on CSI & the Matrix films)
Hypersonic
Jumping in the Highest (Compilation)
Prodigal Sons

Other artist descriptions/bios, can be found at tastyfresh.com and nsoul.com. There's a site called beatport.com that has audio samples, but I think it's just a generalised thing. Not much in the way of descriptions.

I've been into electronica since the '80's and born-again since the '70's. I can tell you that it's hard to find "good" Christian electronic music. It seems to be scattered about, but with some digging and tenacity, it can be found.

examine those out - As a Christian song author, those should be my alternatives for you ... Beastie Boys - look into Thousand Foot Krutch Bob Marley - look into Christafari The dirty Heads - look into Imisi Fall Out Boy - look into We The Kings imagine Dragons isn't a "Christian band," yet 0.5 of the band contributors are LDS contributors. Jack Johnson - Jason gray Jack White - Jimmy Needham Jay Z - T-Bone Lupe Fiasco - holiday Lee Macklemore and Ryan Lewis - Lecrae
