r/idm
ActiveIDM (Intelligent Dance Music), also known as Braindance, is a style of electronic music originating in the early 1990s, defined by idiosyncratic experimentation rather than specific genre constraints. It emerged from the culture and sound palette of electronic and rave music styles such as ambient techno, acid house, Detroit techno and breakbeat, it has been regarded as better suited to home listening than dancing. Prominent artists include Aphex Twin, Autechre, Boards of Canada & Squarepusher.
