I like some electronic music. But most of the Christian stuff is either way to pop/clubby and the dubstep is mostly remixes of Hillsong or other CCM artists, which i don't like to begin with. So i don't make much effort to find it. Since i prefer harder stuff the secular stuff i would like is usually pretty foul.

I am!!!

My hubby actually writes/produces Christian EDM. His and his friend's music project is called Biotronix, give 'em a listen!

Here's a link to their Soundcloud. Let me know what you think! :]

They should be adding a happy hardcore (super fast, energetic) song soon too, so check back soon! :]

i guess because you haven't really looked for it, you haven't found any of the really talented Christian dubstep out there.

here are a few Christian dubstep artists whose repertoires go far beyond "remixes of hillsong" (not saying there aren't some hillsong remixes in there too):
Re5a
Matthew Parker
Andy Mineo
Swedish Revolution
DJ Siah
DJ Jireh
AAA band
Josiah Kramer

most of these have a good bit of music free on Soundcloud.

more hardcore, industrial Christian music is out there, it's not very easy to find though. a couple of my favourites that are currently still making music:

Sublevel Seiben
Zero+one
How to Avoid Art
Dead Turns Alive
Autovoice
Opus Majestic
Echelon High

Kekal, too, though they haven't written "evangelistic" music since there first few albums, is a band you might want to look into if. They are sometimes considered 'the first Christian Unblack metal band' (though others like Horde may actually have a legitimate claim to that, we shouldn't be "desirous of vain glory") but Kekal's musical history has been that of a very progressive metal band, mixing elements of electronic music, to the point that there last 2 or 3 albums have been almost completely "industrial" and some, especially from the album "8" every bit as hard-edged as any secular band in the genre. though they don't write "worship songs" and aren't actively evangelical, they are unashamedly Christian and a person with understanding can see that perspective in their lyrics. There first few albums lyrics leave zero doubt about where they stand, though as a band they "make music" rather than try to preach the gospel. Whther that qualifies it as "Christian Music" -- that's a whole other discussion to be had.

the first band i think of when someone says "Christian EDM" is Mortal. now defunct, but arguably one of the most influential Christian elctronic/industrial groups in the last two decades. danceable, with pop sensibility, also able to put out some very heavy music ( check their "Nu-en-jin" album ). one of the two members is now a guitarist for Switchfoot.

@ WeirdoxTiffers -- thanks! enjoying your hubby's "How Great Thou Art" right now, give him a hug for me.

i listen to a lot of Christian Electronic, the bands i listed here are only a small sample that comes to mind right away. if you dig around, there are many =]

I love EDM! I really like French House (Daft Punk, Justice, SebastiAn, etc), and dubstep is pretty cool too. I've gotten really into Chillwave/Witch House (CHVRCHES, Purity Ring, oOoOO, etc) recently, its kind of becoming the new thing. Its really airy, ambient and more chill, with the witch house influenced stuff sounding a bit creepier. I still think its great though :p

I haven't heard many Christian EDM artists, especially for these genres but im open to hearing new bands!

you might really enjoy "Mayfairgrin" (Andrew Latham)
a lot of his work is ambient / chill with very smart, technical production. almost all of the music is purely instrumental, but the handful of songs with lyrics are rooted in the Bible (he's done a really moving version of Romans 8:38, for example) and while his music doesn't represent an evangelical ministry, he's associated himself with the faith throughout his career. If you go to his bandcamp page, most of his discography is free, too!
