Intelligent dance music (commonly abbreviated as IDM) is a style of electronic music originating in the early 1990s, defined by idiosyncratic experimentation rather than specific genre constraints. It emerged from the culture and sound palette of electronic and rave music styles such as ambient techno, acid house, Detroit techno and breakbeat; it has been regarded as better suited to home listening than dancing. Prominent artists associated with it include Aphex Twin, Autechre, Squarepusher, Venetian Snares, Boards of Canada, Telefon Tel Aviv, ฮผ-Ziq, the Black Dog, the Future Sound of London, and Luke Vibert.

Love this track. Adam Johnson was completely unknown to me, stumbled upon by accident through the VA that this video takes it's bg from. I highly recommend both Adam Johnson in general and that VA ("mas confusion", haha get it? sorry I am tired), as it includes many IDM artists that I dare say are lost to time? Many I never heard the name of, doing pretty interesting stuff.
