This reminds me of something I have been meaning to ask about. What do people think about freestyling to IDM? Can this sound good? I have had several people ask me to hook up a microphone and freestyle to my set. I suppose this wouldn't strike me as bizarre if I were playing stuff that had more of a hip hop beat, but usually when they ask I'm not. For example, 2 weeks ago I had a woman come up to me while I was playing a track off of solvent city, and she really was hell bent on letting me hook up her mic. This just seems bizarre to me, there just doesn't seem to be enough of a predicable beat in some of this music for people to freestyle to. Initially I thought people would ask simply because they were drunk and wanted to hear their voice over the music, no matter how bad it would sound, but I've been asked by *so* many people I'm starting to think there can't be that many egotistical people out there. Has anyone experienced this with any kind of success? Am I being a purist or can people really freestyle over something by Gimmik or Funckarma or Proem even if they are unfamiliar with the music?
