Intelligent Dance music, or IDM for short, was founded by acts from labels such as Warp Records, Rephlex Records and Ninja Tune Records. It is beat heavy, electronic music made to listen to instead of just dance to. It often uses syncopated and heavily processed percussion as the underlying foundation for the songs.
The Synthetic Dream Foundation, Aphex Twin, L.F.O., Boards of Canada and Plaid are some of the best-known IDM acts.

Get the Intelligent Dance Musicmug. One of the leading conservatories in the world, known especially for its academic rigor and focus on new music.
The violinist got into Juilliard, but got rejected from Mannes College of Music.
The Techniques of Music classes at Mannes really kicked my ass...but thankfully now I can sightread 5 staffs at a time.

Get the MTV (Music Television)mug. Music that is made up of beeps and boops. Very simple, no complex sounds or instruments. Similar to chiptune music but less complex and more boring.
