any IDM djs? Posted on: 14.05.2013 by Laurel Litchko So lately i've been into IDM and other types of non-house electronic music. do people DJ this? i have yet to see a "local idm dj" though i've seen the big name performers pull off amazing sets. this is going to sound ignorant (sorry!), but do people DJ this stuff? how? is it mostly an Ableton Live set? EDIT: i am not dissing IDM! i totally dig it i even have a new name that i am trying to produce under for it coughshamelessplugcough Image.jpg

Evia Nitch 31.05.2013	Stop talking bullshit and educate yourselves! This is the ONLY truth:
Dannie Dimora 31.05.2013	Originally Posted by BiggChev I second SirReal, I despise the term IDM. Almost as much as I hate prog-rock and math-metal fans. Both progrock and mathrock/metal are pretty well defined Genres with particular features and, most of all, bands representing the genre.
Sydney Lashway 31.05.2013	@Firebr4nd Math-Metal, imo is shit. Prog-Rock is a legitimate sub-genre, but like I said in my post...it's not the music but the 'fans' of the music.
Qiana Castellucci 31.05.2013	Have a listen to some Mixmaster Morris sets. Pretty much what you have here along with a healthy dose of ambient and more eclectic tunes.
Ulysses Vittetoe 31.05.2013	Originally Posted by BiggChev I second SirReal, I despise the term IDM. Almost as much as I hate prog-rock and math-metal fans. I have no idea what math metal is but prog rock is a legitimate sub genre with defining features.
Evia Nitch 31.05.2013	There should be enough challenge to DJ this. Getting that even flow throughout your set is not easy. That's maybe why it's performed as live sets more often. If you don't mind things getting a bit psychedelic, I'd suggest listening to Carbon Based Lifeforms and Aes Dana. They are more ambient, but when the beat happens you know the last 10 minutes of ambient were just a prelude to these amazing flowing beats. I'm sometimes amazed by how they flow so seamlessly from a soundscape to a really understated yet pounding kick. I use the more dancable parts as breakdowns in sets.
Laurel Litchko 31.05.2013	Originally Posted by MYE You mean downtempo right. Like this? yes stuff like this. and sorry about the term idm. i had no idea what else to call it.
Margie Pavell 15.05.2013	Originally Posted by squidot It's intelligent dance music and the term has been around since the 90s. It usually gets applied to stuff similar to warp record or artists like fsol. I thought it was dead...
