Futurepop: inspiration for the soundtrack

A reflexion about soundtrack have to be made. It's a key piece to support creation of a specific and singular atmosphere.

My objective, but I don't know if I will achieve it, is to create a specific style of music for this movie.

When I think about it I see these words :  
- Underground 
- Industrial 
- Electronic
- Loud bass.

To start my inspiration quest, I typed 'cyberpunk' 'industrial' on Youtube but results don't satisfy me. I didn't found really inspiring songs. I found more inspirational stuff discovering a kind of music I didn't know: Futurepop.

Song that inspired me the most is Dead enough for life of Icon of Coil. It's not very original but, I don't know why, it approaches of what I search. Border (club edit) of Pride and Fall is cool too.

Don't hesitate to share music you deem appropriate ! ;)

    Suggested words made me think of the following music clips :
    Some Bare Noize remixes :

    Myspace page of the guy : http://www.myspace.com/barenoize he got some interesting things in his playlist dunno if it can help the project, maybe for some calm moments... (except Plant food wich is pretty similar to DaVIP - Ignition, but i dunno, maybe the cat sounds are a little bit too strange for the movie ? ^^)

    And some more louder underground electronic music but i must admit some lyrics are pretty unpleasant :p; merely songs from Hocico or Grendel; they call it "electro-indus" but...

    Thanks for these links !! :) I agree, Dubstep seems to be a very good source of inspiration !

    Electro-indus is cool too but I think I won't use this kind of sound in the movie (too agressive and dark) or just very interesting moments, where there are no voices but a very good rythm. We will see ! :)

    From Hocico, I really like 'The Shape of things to come' : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RoNFW2HeuY

    If you have other ideas, don't hesitate ;)

    Heyhey, I don't pretend to be cyberpunk :) but I think the background of these electrodark songs may be interesting for your inspiration.

    From Agonoize:

    the beginning of this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83xf4r_c0Io

    And a great song I wanted to share with you. Choirs in electrodark are original and it gives a sense of intensity and pressure... might be useful.

    Songs are perhaps too much dark for the movie, but it's inspiring !
