For fans of: RJD2, DJ Shadow, Moby
My son is really into a handful of artists like RJD2, DJ Shadow, and his latest discovery (and therefore mine) is Quantic.
Quantic’s roots are in jazz, though, and allmusic.com lists them as something called broken beat. I’m afraid I know very little about electronica. But I know Quantic are really good.

My fix for the electronica-related is usually satisfied with a little DJ Spooky. But you’re right, Susan — this is cool stuff indeed.
OK Susan I have listened to two of the songs that you posted by this group and thus far find them to be very creative. I will be looking further into this group and hope that this might be even 1/10 of the find that Elbow was for me. As of now I am trusting your judgment on the subject, so keep me updated on new groups.
Quantic’s a good pick, TT.
your boy has good taste in music.
your status as mother in your son’s eyes would be elevated to near-Godhood if you were to suprise him with this ultra-classic nugget:
[speaking as a long-time listner of DJ Shadow's and Moby's work] all dub/electronica/acid jazz/trippy ambient/drum & Bass music pale in comparison to K&D Sessions Disc 1.
