In the late 1990s and after the millennium, [[Belgium|Belgian]], [[Sweden|Swedish]] and [[Germany|German]] artists such as [[Ionic Vision]], [[Tyske Ludder]], and [[Spetsnaz (band)|Spetsnaz]]<ref name="SeanAlbiez" /> had reactivated the style. Based on this revival, [[Sweden]] and [[East Germany]] then became the centre of the movement<ref>{{cite book |author-last=Shuker|author-first=Roy |chapter=Gothic Rock |editor-last1=Horn|editor-first1=David |editor-last2=Shepherd|editor-first2=John |editor-last3=Prato|editor-first3=Paolo |title=Bloomsbury Encyclopedia of Popular Music of the World, Volume 11 |date=2017 |publisher=Bloomsbury |isbn=9781501326103 |pages=341 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=WKc0DwAAQBAJ}}</ref> spawning a variety of newcomers. Primarily as a counteracting force against the expanding [[futurepop]] scene,<ref name="Vorndran">Daniela Vorndran: [https://www.reflectionsofdarkness.com/artists-p-t-bandinfo-61/848-spetsnaz Spetsnaz], ''Reflections of Darkness: A Dark Music webzine'', 6 March 2006.</ref> these artists followed a neo-traditionalistic path, often referred to as "old school EBM".<ref name="Kaul" />

Simultaneously, a number of European [[techno]] producers started incorporating elements of EBM into their sound. This tendency grew in parallel with the emerging [[electroclash]] scene<ref name="SeanAlbiez" /> and, as that scene started to decline, artists partly associated with it, such as [[The Hacker]], [[DJ Hell]],<ref>{{cite web|last=Theakston |first=Rob |url={{AllMusic|class=album|id=r617464|pure_url=yes}} |title=Electronicbody-Housemusic > Overview|publisher=allmusic |date=26 November 2002 |access-date=19 May 2010}}</ref> [[Green Velvet]], [[Black Strobe]],<ref>{{cite web|last=Kellman |first=Andy |url={{AllMusic|class=album|id=r692810|pure_url=yes}}|title=Chemical Sweet Girl > Overview|publisher=allmusic |date=1 June 2004 |access-date=19 May 2010}}</ref> and David Carretta, moved towards this [[techno]]/EBM crossover style.

There has been increasing convergence between this scene and the old school EBM scene. Some artists have remixed each other. Most notably, Terence Fixmer joined with [[Nitzer Ebb]]'s [[Douglas McCarthy]] to form [[Fixmer/McCarthy]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gothtronic.com/?page=23&reviews=4963 |title=Music &#124; CD Reviews |publisher=Gothtronic |access-date=19 May 2010 |archive-date=25 February 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120225082341/http://gothtronic.com/?page=23&reviews=4963 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
