I have to do it...
Culture Prophet Recipe:

-1 part MSTRKRFT
-2 Part Justice
-1 Part Simian Mobile Disco
-1 Mac Book
-1 Drum Set

Mix it all in a bowl and now you have: Culture Prophet
No, don't mistake them for French DJ's, Culture Prophet reside in Greenville, South Carolina. Blending all of the above, Culture Prophet pump out long overdue bangers to our electronica drought ridden south. You can download some of their songs for free on their myspace. They also do some pretty tight remixes. So check them out on their site and shake your ass at one of their shows. I haven't seen them yet, but I plan to on New Year's Eve at Ground Zero (of all the places) in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
