idm is relatively obscure and arguably a dead genre. it's hard to say what makes idm, idm. the avant garde (not so avant garde now, but it was definitely in the 90s) mixture of many different genres/styles/melodies such are breakcore, acidhouse, ambiance, some jazz elements, sometimes acoustics, what have you is what makes it unique. also, if you're new to idm (intelligent dance music) the label sounds pretty fucking pretentious, but a lot of idm musicians heavily detest the name. i love the idiosyncrasies of these artists

some of my favorite idm songs (i've posted some of these elsewhere)-

Finally IDM thread.

bass2good


i feel i should be more familiar with cylob. seems pretty great. i'm fairly certain this is a remix of one of his songs?


great stuff

No, Cylob haven't remixed this song afaik.

26 Mixes For Cash is so unique, Aphex never made albums like that. Love his Analord 2 and The Tuss collab. I even had t-shirt with his logo

Also, Steinvord:
