The record features collaborations with M83, Air, Moby, John Carpenter, Pete Townshend, Erasure’s Vince Clarke, Massive Attack’s 3D, Little Boots, and more. (He’s up against Tycho, Underworld, Flume and Louie Vega.) Today (2/10) he’s talking as part of a panel discussion on electronic music at The Americana Lounge at The Record Parlour in Hollywood. Also on the panel: film composer Hans Zimmer, Gary Numan, Moby, Little Boots and Julia Holter, with moderator Nic Harcourt. You can watch it live via Jean-Michel’s Facebook page at 1 PM Eastern, below.

A second volume of Electronica was released last year featuring collaborations with Zimmer, Numan, Holter, Pet Shop Boys, Primal Scream, The Orb, Yello, Cyndi Lauper, Sebastien Tellier, Peaches and more. You can stream both of those Electronica records below.
