I've not been successful in finding Chinese music in these genres.  The only exception I'm aware of so far is I-GO:

http://www.neocha.com/igo

Anybody else a fan of this music style and/or familiar with other similar Chinese artists?  I need Mandarin lyrics to aid my learning :)

I was able to find I-GO using the information in Bazza's "List of Music Genres" post (Synth-Pop 合成器流行) (thanks Bazza!)


P.S. http://www.last.fm/user/thaxlssillyia is me on last.fm

Not sure they fall directly within your genre guidelines, but check New Pants out of Beijing, http://www.myspace.com/beijingnewpants.  Their recordings are in account, and they put on an amazing show.  Had a blast seeing them drunk on baijiu in Shanghai.

 

Sorry Chinesepod about the above comment, often when I am leaving comments, my translator has a pop-up box that I cannot remove.

Thanks for the post. That 龙虎人丹 video is awesome ^_^

I actually bought the album 龙虎人丹 (Dragon Tiger Panacae)  by 新裤子 (New Pants) a couple months ago and its pretty decent.  Half of the tracks on that album are a bit too silly though, IMO :X
