This Is Tech-Pop

One of the first electroclash compilations, This is Tech Pop is one of the best ways to hear critical early singles released on electronic music labels. Many of electroclash’s best songs are here, including the era-defining “Emerge” by Fischerspooner and the manic “14 Zero Zero” by Console. Meanwhile, “Naked, Drunk and Horny” by Yellow Note and Tiga’s “Sunglasses At Night” remake vie for the title of the seamiest electroclash song, which is no small feat for a genre that connects the sleaziest disco to the most stylish synth pop and the most frigid techno.
