Chris Brann, leader and guiding force behind Wamdue, lives and produces in
Atlanta.  He is in the process of starting a label of his own.  His full
length on Strictly Rhythm is one of my favorites for the year.
the Dallas Austin/Babyface/So So Def R&B hip-hop world is so high end that
it is naturally moving into idm territory.  Not to mention the overwhelming
influence of the mergence of hip-hop and drum & bass which seems to have
been fully embraced only in Atlanta.

and of course there's my little idm label, Clock Wise.
