I disagree, because there's no conceptual or intellectual depth to 606's work. I doubt he'd even know what you're referring to. :-) And there's a variety of acts within the Tigerbeat6 crew. I don't think there's an equivalent to Dada in IDM. There never really was such a thing as Dada music even while the Dadaist movement was active, so it's difficult to draw comparisons. I think there are IDM related acts like perhaps V/Vm who make allusions to Dada in their image, but musically ? There's a certain Dadaist absurdism to the way Aphex presents himself I suppose, but that's not really present in his music.
