If you look under Electronica, where this should be rightly placed, it's a lot of airy floaty pads and bleeps. The pounding Kraftwerk-in-an-80's-gay-disco style is literally impossible to dig for in this day and age without going onto a forum like this and asking "Moar songs lyk this plz", because Beatport/TrackitDown/Stomp etc. just don't cater for it.
You tend to find songs like this in mixes with glitch hop because of their similar tempos, usage of "wub wub" and the kick-snare-kick-snare drum lines.
I'm not here to change definitions, I'm just pointing Helo in the right direction without over complicating things.
Although looking back I don't know why I kept saying 100 BPM, brainfart from me there.
Also, back on topic, earlier Boys Noize and also his label (The imaginatively titled "Boys Noize Records") contains some fantastic pounding Kraftwerk-in-an-80's-gay-disco style artists (Like Shadow Dancer, although again earlier stuff, since they seem to have fallen on to the deep/chill house bandwagon as of late)
