What is IDM?

probably

I never thought of Amon Tobin as IDM, I guess? Too organic and sample-based. But it still fell into the left-field, non-functional electronic music I was into at the time, so sure.

(And I still feel like Foley Room and ISAM are underrated in terms of their influence on the current crop of sound design-heavy, cinematic, high-impact experimental club music)

Tri Repetae is not one of the more interesting autechres to me but it's the most 'listenable', in the same sense that a beer is 'drinkable'

Chiastic Slide/LP5 is my sweet spot for listenable + interesting

Oversteps + Move of Ten!!!!

Draft + Untilted + Quaristice :)

oh we're doing top Ae, in that case I choose Amber, Chiastic, Cichlisuite, EP7, Confield, Untilted, Exai and maybe elseq.

Basically anything post Tri Repetae can be the best autechre album, depending on my specific mood.

tri repetae definitely my favorite autechre. lp5 is good too

quaristice was rad too i thought

despite owning almost all of his albums and really really loving some of them ("coronus the terminator", what an amazing tune) i kind of hate flylo

me too, for Farben last two days

yea that farben album is so smooth

side note, just realizing list ignored a whole corner of post-IDM dance music from the likes of Zomby, Lone, Rustie, et al -- these guys have been vocal about being influenced by Aphex, BOC and the first wave of IDM, kind of surprising not to see at least one of them show up.

Lone and Zomby are on my albums list

I'm getting my threads confused...

I'm less surprised about those ones not showing, but I would have thought OPN would be on there

That's why I thought it was weird to crack the lid of that box just a little, there is soooo much that could be a whole separate list.

I'm putting on a night of classic electronica, IDM, glitch, breaks, drill'n'bass etc tomorrow. Got a fair bit of music lined up, but what would you include (preferably stuff that has aged okay and is generally upbeat enough to dance to, or at least tap your toes)?

Quinoline Yellow - see 14 across
Isan - amber button (i prefer the "live" one if you can find it. ah, it's on bandcamp)

Carl Craig, LFO, Kenny Larkin, early mike paradinas, ken ishii, two lone swordsmen, cristian vogel. cylob if you want to fuck with people.

Buckfunk 3000.

i might play Rewind! by Cylob. A lot of these tracks are really lo-fi sounding by today's comparison. Also I realised how many of these old tunes I painstakingly ripped from CD to 128kbps back in the mid-2000s. Well done me.

'Flutter'!

One of my personal all-time jams
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sh-UY_JKS8w

Ambient News - Zweite Sendung
Cylob - The Quantum Loonyverse

these are post-2000 but both are arguably classics

DJ Pierre - Box Energy (AFX Remix)

Not sure if this is too obvious? Probably. But greatest ever anyway.

If I were putting on an “electronica” night as dog latin describes, I would intentionally eschew anything involving richard d james, except MAYBE Alberto Balsam as the very last track of the set.

or (last resort) play XMAS_EVET10, cuz it could possibly be transcendental "af"

It'd be cool to go from Derrick May to Speedy J (De-Orbit?) to something off Bytes

Something off Bricolage or Permutation

At least one Björk remix, maybe the Underworld mix of Human Behaviour

As you know, and as I can never resist pointing out, lots of SAW I bumps on a good system

drill n bass classix ... Brace Yourself Jason, Red Hot Car

The Björk remix you need is Alec Empire’s take on State of Emergency

to give everyone a break after Eddie “flashin’” Fowlkes’ “Lodge Freeway”

I forgot to mention I have a strict remit of falling between the years 1992-2002. that's the rules and I'm sticking by them

FSOL is your nu-god

Don’t forget spacetime continuum & spring heel jack

Some of the more hip-hop influenced Autechre tracks - "Lowride", "Eutow", "Draun Quarter", "Pen Expers"

Eutow YES everything else MEH

I have made a minor alteration to my Richard d James ban

The very first track of the set should be Funny Little Man

The track played at the exact median of the set should be AFX 114

As above re: last track

Those are the only rdj things allowed and they can only occur as directed above

FSOL is your nu-god

i dunno that seems to open the floodgates to the Orb, Orbital etc

Basic Channel - Q1.1/I

I will probably end up playing a bit more pop-oriented stuff by the end to keep the throngs happy, so Orbital and Orb etc could well happen

"Frosch" by Mouse on Mars always seems to go over well. Particularly the edited version

dunno if any Autechre would fit, maybe "Slip" ?

I'm definitely playing Arch Carrier. Possibly Slip

'Flutter'!

Actually I'm listening to the rest of the Anti EP now and it holds up suuuper well.

tbh I have never witnessed anyone trying to dance to IDM. It’s not like I’m going to dance parties all the time (or ever) so I believe that it happens. But I’m having difficulty imagining it!

I would totally go to this to hear the classics on a sound system btw, sounds like a fun challenge to make a real dance set out of it.

Oh yeah we all demand a recording of this right?

Lego Feet?

I recorded the whole set. It was rather low-key, thanks to a last minute venue change - just a small room in a pub. Still my friends and I had fun revisiting some of the classics and pissing off the locals.

This is a long mix, with three DJs basically swapping in and out from each other all the way through, so I don't have a tracklisting... but, enjoy!
