I think there's a lot of great "dance" music out right now that bridges
the divide between what people normally think of as "dance" music and
so-called IDM, stuff that defies being branded as either "house" or
"techno". And I'm not talking about the now-formulaic stuff that's
"glitchy" just for the sake of being so.
Artists like Ricardo Villalobos, Bernhard Pucher (Brian Aneurysm,
Echopilot, Confutatis), Eric Estornel, John Tejada, Luciano, Alter Ego,
Unai, 2 Dollar Egg, Mike Shannon, John Spring, Dominik Eulberg, Matt
Thibideau, and even Mathew Jonson. Labels like Klang, Sub Static, Morris
Audio, Traum, Playhouse, Perlon, Output, and Iron Box. Make fun of me
all you want, but I'd call a lot of it "cutting edge dance music".
Am I off-topic yet?
Cheers,
