Fuc*ing loved these tracks especially the 2nd one (and the first was good as well). The majority of the elctroclash stuff that came out in 2002 were trashy but there were some very good 80s-new-wave/synth-pop/EBM/industrial-influenced stuff coming out as well. I always liked some tracks by The Hacker and this track by Vitalic is ace, bringing to mind some stuff by Gary Numan, OMD, early Human League etc. (or even some darker stuff)
I always liked Legowelt, he is my personal favorite when it comes to this kind of thing (with some strong italo-disco and even goth and EBM influences in his electroish music)
Legowelt-Visions Fade
Legowelt- Sturmvogel
some more (very) good stuff!
Rex The Dog- Maximize
R3mote- Shadows That You Know (Very EBM-Influenced luv it)
Tiefschwarz- Fly
Swayzak- I Dance Alone
The Artificial Arm- Rumble Punk
Anthony Rother- Gott
Radioactive Man- Uranium
(another favorite artist of mine! Why isn't more Radioactive Man on Youtube? Some great EPs, LPs, 12" etc. lots of good music and i just rememebered that lovely synth-poppy track of his "FedEx to Munchen" or the dark and atmospheric "Nightbus to Nowhere" and many more good tracks)
Oh yeah and The Hacker-some tracks are good

Great tracks...
The Hacker is definately one of my favourite producers - his stuff has a great sound to it, very unique, although the direction of his stuff of late hasn't be as much to my own liking as some of his earlier stuff.
My favourite tracks/remixes by him include his remix of Northern Lite - My Pain ( http://f1r3start3r.bloguedemusica.c...e-Hacker-Remix/ ), his remix of Air - Don't Be Light is brilliant, as well as his remix of Kiko - Italomatic which took me a while to hunt down on vinyl - amazing track, plays it in a back to back mix with DJ Tonio at Club Rex in Paris - excellent track.
Also worth checking out is his track 'Nothing Lasts' whilst his remix of Funk D'Void - Diabla is top too.
As for Vitalic, his remix of Heartbreaker - You are my high is definately a favourite as well as his other tracks such as You Prefer Cocaine.
