so whats the deal with idm these days?

[smartass303]

Did i miss something here?

So this is all german Techno and no idm, isnt it?

The thread evolved man.

What i pretend *intelligent* at the moment is maximal music, digitalism (and some of the other kitsunè stuff), Justice (Kicks ass!) and the other guys from ed Banger, Erol Alkan and some of the Great Stuff Records. This stuff brings Pop, distortion, good Arrangements and a nice attitude together for maximum hands - in - the - air effect.

Thread evolved, everything said, me go out get a beer

financial support for independant labels and music has waned since the lucrative days for warp/skam (what late 90s? I lose time), no?

I can't stop listening to the netlabels::: thinner/autoplate, standard, 2063, text one, diston/acroplane, 8 bit peoples, eko...

love digitalis, brian robinson, old thinner like danny kruetzfeldt, benfay, love laura palmer's recent release...

What?? There are more successful independent labels than ever before. Of course, there are simply more independent labels than ever before, as well.
