Miami’s annual Winter Music Conference and its corresponding Ultra Music Fest first drew electronica artists to Florida. But once they discovered audiences ripe and ready to get down rave-style, any time of the year and not just in South Florida, music makers spanning the electro spectrum began appearing in Tampa more and more often. We are fortunate enough to see a virtual who’s who of hot talents in the upcoming months. DC’s Thievery Corporation — made up of DJ duo Rob Garza, Eric Hilton and their vibrantly diverse ensemble of performers — produces a lounge-lush fusion of electronica, reggae, acid jazz, psychedelia and the world flavors of India and Brazil. Sat., Oct. 10, The Ritz Ybor, Ybor City, $42). Tiësto (pictured) is a famed Dutch DJ and progressive trance producer (Sun., Oct. 18, The Ritz Ybor, Ybor City, $40). (Video after the jump)

Canadian twosome Junior Boys make sexy electro-pop and are pretty hip in the indie scene right now (Fri., Oct. 23, Crowbar, Ybor City, $12). Deadmau5 (pronounced “Dead Mouse”) plays progressive and electro house, and is known for wearing a huge grotesquely grinning cartoon mouse head when he performs. (Sun., Nov. 15, The Ritz Ybor, Ybor City, $15 general, $75 VIP). And Paul Van Dyk is only the world’s leading electronic music DJ and producer (Fri., Nov. 27, The Ritz Ybor, Ybor City, $15 general, $75 VIP).
