I have been listening this year to a style of music called electroclash. It's usually a closer electronic, modulated sound than techno or trance. The voices sound like they've passed through an old school vocoder.
Artists I think playing in this realm include Ladytron, Crystal Method, and now Looper. I tried out a CD from Half.com and it's really pretty good. You would recognize their first track, Mondo 77 right away if you heard it. That is because it is featured in an IBM commercial I think. You recognize the simple, distorted (high res) synth from the beginning. It really makes for a happy, feel good dance track.
