Speaking of faith and culture, here’s a genre I had no idea about: the Christian dance/electronica music scene. As DJ redsavior points out, this phenomenon is so small as to truly deserve the name ‘underground’. Is Victor Lams up on this?

Just as long as it stay at the club and doesn’t end up in the sanctuary!
No! I wasn’t up on that, but I’m not surprised either. I do know that Christian themes have been increasingly worked into mainstream dance music, though. That seems to me to be the way to go (create mainstream Dance music with Christian themes) rather than creating Dance music that’s explicity labelled “Christian”.
But (good) Dance music is notoriously hard to produce. You really have to know how to take a solo bass drum part and make it sound interesting for 24 bars… I’ve always believed that brevity was the soul of wit, so my instincts have always run counter to that (my 80-minute solo-piano imrpovs withstanding).
