Do not know if you have heard of a German artist named 'EMIKA', whom ALSO worked for years as a sound designer for Native Instruments? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlS6Uy4-Re8 I actually liked this enough to buy her CD. This song was originally written by none other than Laurie Anderson. Emika is using Waldorf's Blofeld in provided example and enjoy!
PS--on styles, here's one comment on Emika's style where people are damned hell-bent to classify and categorize every kind of music to where it begins to sound stupendous in then calling something a sub-genre` of yet another sub-genre` as in; "...also isnt trip-hop a downtempo subgenre of electro or electro-dub-triphop?"
When I did visual art and sold my works whilst in college before 9/11 and called back to military again; it was quite funny how people were also hell-bent to try to give a "stylistic medium" name to what I did that was actually nothing more than "Bahaus Abstract Expressionism".
Humans are funny this way. Emika is different and I am glad to see almost one million people have viewed that video since 2010, when I firstly learned about here from Waldorf, actually.

Music is not genre, music is language. But people need names, for convenience. That happens to me a lot as a visual artist to, it's natural - people expect someone to sum up the entire work in two sentences.
Yeah, I've read about Emika on some magazine a couple of month ago and was curious. Will check on her music! The interview was very interesting and she's got a lovely job - no doubts about that eheh. And I do enjoy a lot of dubstep, there's great music out there - I don't even care about the genre, some of those big gritty basses that have come up with this trend are really great and when I first listened I was really impressed with their approach to synthesis... It's all good! I have made some experiments myself on this genre, most specially for breaks and stuff like that.
