Electroclash emerged in New York at the end of the 1990s. It came to media attention in 2001, when the Electroclash Festival was held in Williamsburg,[1] New York.[2] It was founded by DJ Larry Tee.[3] The Electroclash Festival was held again in 2002 with subsequent live tours across the US and Europe in 2003 and then 2004.[4] Other notable artists who performed at the festivals and subsequent tours include: Scissor Sisters, ADULT., Fischerspooner, Erol Alkan, Princess Superstar, Mignon, Miss Kittin & The Hacker, Mount Sims, Tiga and Spalding Rockwell. The style spread to scenes in London and Berlin, but rapidly faded as a recognisable genre as acts began to experiment with a variety of forms of music.[5][6]
