Idm

IDM, or Intelligent Dance Music, emerged in the early 1990s in the UK, proving that electronic music could be just as pretentious as your average art student’s installation piece. It features complex rhythms and unusual sounds, as if the musicians decided to have a go at making their computers actually sound a bit brainy rather than just jumping around in a club. Often hailed by fans as the soundtrack for deep contemplation or frantic homework sessions, it's the perfect background noise for anyone who's ever pondered the meaning of life whilst trying to program their toaster.
