Joy Electric
The Seattle-based synthesizer duo Joy Electric have gained notoriety in the Christian world for their fusion of pop and Christian lyrics. Ronnie Martin, the singer and guitarist of Joy Electric, has said that his inspiration comes from artists such as Kraftwerk, the Human League, and old German bands from the 1970s. He also admits that his inspiration came from a recent Mariah Carey single, and that he felt a sense of emancipation in the midst of his family’s conservative beliefs.
After releasing the Five Stars EP, the band continued to expand their musical horizons, but their sound quickly changed. They began to incorporate sounds that evoked dark German folklore and medieval scenes, which gave the band an odd, gothic edge. Their music quickly became one of the strangest goth albums. The band also began to incorporate electronic music into their sound, which was evident with their 2010 album, We Are the Music Makers.
While many Christian groups make use of a mix of rock and electronica, Joy Electric has more melancholic and wangsty songs.Although their sound may not be as accessible as a lot of genres, their Christian lyrics are often quite evocative of spirituality.

The album “Dwarf Mountain Alphabet” may be the final album for Joy Electric. So, if you’re looking for an alternative to Joy Electric, check out Shepherd. While the new album isn’t quite as “religious” as previous releases, it’s a good way to hear an original Joy Electric song.

Its title is an apt description of the band’s music, demonstrating its positive message. Despite being a Christian band, the Echoing Green consciously opted not to label themselves as such. This allowed them to express their faith without feeling repressed by the Electronic Christian Music industry.
Their songs have also included guest appearances by artists in the Electronic Christian Music scene. ‘Defend Your Joy’ is the band’s motto, and their music is categorized as “aggressive smile-pop. “Its sound is somewhere between Pet Shop Boys and Prodigy. However, the band’s sound stands out on its own.
Har Megiddo

The name of the band reflects the meaning of the musician’s real name, Tommy Murfee. His debut album, ‘Pressure,’ has already received widespread attention and praise for its uplifting message.
