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, ΞΌ-Ziq, the Black Dog, the Future Sound of London, and Luke Vibert.

says this was released 2015, but he played this song live in Manchester in 2010. According to this now-dead link https://web.archive.org/web/20101222022252/http://www.percussionlab.com/sets/wisp/live_at_the_music_box_manchester_01-04-2010
Here is that liveset: https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.percussionlab.com/audio/mp3s/1032/wisp_masterd.mp3
This song starts out at about 36min, I'd love to know what song starts at 31min
upsammy - Relict (2025)
New EP from Norwegian upsammy. Very interesting artist. This release is probably a bit more danceable than the previous ones, I recommend the full one as the progression is real nice. It is on Spotify and most likely Bandcamp as well.
Aleksi PerΓ€lΓ€ - Vortex 2/3/4 (3 different albums, I don't see a Vortex 1) (2025)
This stuff sounds similar to his old Astrobotnia releases!

I haven't gotten to listen to all of this yet, but it seems good
