A list of 10 electronic music artists that use gaming samples and riffs in their music. There are some cool beats in here, including Aphex Twin, Squarepusher and Hot Chip.

Many of the world's best electronic music artists are also keen game players. Some of them take this hobby one step further, and even incorporate game noises into their music.

It's a musical influence that's slowly growing within certain parts of the electronic scene. And it's also something that hasn't received much attention. So Killscreen Poetry decided to compile a list of the top 10 electronic music artists who feature gaming sounds in their beats.

    What the hell? No Machinae Supremacy? They're easily one of the better "game-inspired" bands out there.

    Only ever heard of Hot Chip off that list and even then they're not that good.

    Pretty useless list if you ask me, things like iamerror should be on that list. Not Aphex Twin.

      Generally any kind of Power Metal band could have some rooted video game influence- especially for the epic RPGs.

    I'm a little disappointed that there was no mention of The Black Mages or Bitshifter or Nullsleep.
