And to further this discussion of what most folks here would definitely not consider intelligent, but what most definitely is Dance Music, you can include Electro Bass(booty) ala DJ Assault and Baltimore Breaks(booty) ala DJ Technics. And the two things that all varities of booty have in common is that (a) there are usually explicit lyrics about anatomy/sex, weed/alcohol, and/or negelected haircare, and (b) the tracks sound much better on a boomin' system. Oh, and it helps whitey feel a little more ghetto. What does any of this have to do with IDM? Well, I'd bet you'd find a couple of those records in the crates of some of the artists discussed on this list. Remember, an educated consumer is the best customer. -Christina
