I don't know how you're promoting your events, but if you're promoting them
as "IDM" it's entirely likely people won't know what it is. "IDM" is really
a specialist genre -- no matter how many people may listen to various
aspects of it, only a small fraction are aware of it being part of something
called "IDM." Just think of Fourtet, who's currently blowing up across a
broad spectrum of listeners: only the real geeky fanboys and zine readers
will care whether it's IDM, trip-hop, downtempo or just electronica...
Anyway, you may simply want to promote your events as "electronic music"
nights, to get a broader audience. Possibly put names of popular artists
whose records you'll be playing on the flyers. Anything to give people a
clue and help them to make the connection between things they already know.
You've gotta coax folks out, especially to attend something they may not be
familiar with...
Cheers
