This is *exactly* what we should be growing beyond. I listen toIDM (i still hate that term) among my funk and hip-hop tunes. My criticism of idm isalways the lack of funk. Some Clear releases are an exception but not many. Hey, how about a thread about idm with some funk to it. I'll start the list with Doktor Rockit. Who's next?
