going back and forth between chicago and san francisco area, i've seen a lot
of crazy dancing techniques at IDM shows. Funniest thing i ever saw dancing
wise was at a rephlex show in chicago when dmx krew was in the audience
dancing hardcore to i think cylob. he was like, kicking his legs and
throwing his arms all over, and everyone was kind of offended by him until
he got up on stage and then they were like, oh shit, that guy's a musician.
chicago: bogdan raczynski, prefuse 73
san fran: 8fm, tipper, plaid, kid606
LA: aphex twin
these are the american shows i've seen where people were dancing off the
hook. i've never seen anyone like autechre play live, so i dont know how
americans react to that, but also whenever i go see four tet or mike
paradinas i always feel like i am the only one dancing. i will be coming to
germany in a year or two to work so i'll have to go check out some shows and
bring my nerd specs.
