Most of my songs will be further to the left than mainstream and I like to use dissonance, offbeat timings, robotic riffs, crunchy synths, distortion, big beats and many, many 'things that should not be' happening in one song. Gear I use: Korg MC49, Ibanez G10, Shure SM58, Proel 8 track mixer, M-Audio Fast Track Pro, Goldwave and to throw it all together I use Reason 4.0.
