Is Cinematic Electronica/Techno a thing?
EDIT: Update as suggested, I’m talking about beat based music with a cinematic feel to the harmonic/melodic content.
Who would that make you think of stylistically?
I really like soundscape-y/cinematic music, but don’t really have an electro/techno reference (somewhere between Jon Hopkins and Richie Hawtin??).
Asking because I want to listen to it. 
hard one to know what you’re looking for.
Max Cooper stuff might fit, as Max Million, EXM, Trifonic, HECQ, try some of the Wounds Of The Earth compilations.
Cliff Martinez
Maybe Tim Hecker or Arca’s first couple of albums, what comes to mind for me anyway
Yes, I get that it’s hard to know from the suggestions so far…
I’m looking for beat based, Max Cooper was a close match…. Cliff Martinez, good, but more ambient/non-beat based than what I’m looking for.
Actually, listening to Max Cooper reminded me of Unfolding by Rival Consoles… Rival Consoles are/is a good reference to the genre I’m wanting more of… guess it’s IDM??
Could you update the original post to include that bit? For me, this totally changes the meaning of your question (or the direction to take an answer). Your initial question, to me, read as if “Hanz Zimmer, Vangelis, 80s Jan Hammer” would answer it.
Anyway, here’s a recommendation for beat-driven music at cinematic scale:
I love the vocals on Wide Angle. They’re sung with such a sweet tone, but have a horror and rage in them. I find the contrast so beguiling. It’s almost in a musical theatre
style, which I usually don’t like, but this gets me every time.
… and another. More beat, less cinema, but the references are solid:
Floex/ Tomáš Dvořák
As mentioned Rival Consoles and Max Cooper are good shouts here , but you might also try some of Jon Hopkins stuff (tho maybe not his last album). maybe Ben Lukas Boysen:
Maybe Ital Tek:
(not sure if those are beat-driven enough?)
Alex Banks might work too:
The living legend that is David Holmes:
Orbital did an actual soundtrack:

As did The Chemical Brothers:

And so did RZA (he’s done a few, in fact):
This was in The Matrix:
Asian Dub Foundation did a live improv project to The Battle For Algiers. I don’t think they made a full release of it. Here’s an excerpt:
Jeff mills has been doing this for the past decade or more also. Usually with older science fiction films.
I’m excited to learn this! Can you share an example?
This is from a section of his soundtrack for the buster keaton film the three ages
Stephan Bodzin?
Pretty cinematic if you ask me
What a treat. Thanks!
Top albums. Exactly what came to mind for the question.
This fits the bill, I think.
