Spent the last couple months going deep with Pretty Lights. PL single-handedly turned my ear to modern electronic 5 years ago. I found the genre to be exceedingly difficult to break into, but I found creativity, groove and musicianship that I could latch onto in his music and it became my spring board into what I consider to be the most interesting genre of music being made today.
Griz is another good choice for someone who can bridge the gap between traditional music and modern electronic music
