Only Connect these (mostly) electronic music acts

Only Connectronic music

To get you excited about tipping over board games in Christmas family arguments, here's a little quiz.

In the style of the telly programme Only Connect, I have devised a wall of (mostly) electronic music acts.

Electronic music connects them all. However, these 16 acts can also be split into four groups of four connected acts. What are the four groupings? See if you can work it out.

No, this isn't a fancy wall that you can click on. It's just a jpeg: you'll have to work it out on pen and paper. I've also typed out the names below in case the image isn't loading for you.

Good luck!

The solution is in the comments. No peeking.
