    This is not EDM it's IDM. EDM (Electronic Dance Music) and IDM (Intelligent Dance Music) are two distinct genres within electronic music, each characterized by specific sonic qualities, compositional approaches, and cultural contexts. 1. **EDM (Electronic Dance Music)**: - **Sonic Characteristics**: EDM typically features repetitive beats, heavy basslines, and synthesizer-generated melodies. The focus is on creating energetic, danceable tracks with an emphasis on driving rhythms and catchy hooks. - **Composition**: EDM compositions often follow a formulaic structure, with build-ups, drops, and breakdowns designed to maximize impact on the dancefloor. Tracks are often shorter in duration to maintain energy levels and facilitate mixing in DJ sets. - **Cultural Context**: EDM has its roots in the late 20th-century rave and club culture, where DJs played a central role in creating immersive dance experiences. The genre has since evolved into a global phenomenon, with festivals, nightclubs, and streaming platforms serving as key platforms for its dissemination. 2. **IDM (Intelligent Dance Music)**: - **Sonic Characteristics**: IDM is characterized by intricate rhythms, unconventional time signatures, and experimental sound design. Artists often incorporate elements of glitch, ambient, and avant-garde music, creating complex sonic textures that reward attentive listening. - **Composition**: IDM compositions tend to be more abstract and cerebral, eschewing traditional song structures in favor of nonlinear arrangements and soundscapes. Tracks can vary significantly in length and complexity, with an emphasis on sonic exploration and innovation. - **Cultural Context**: IDM emerged in the 1990s as a reaction to the commercialization of electronic music, with artists seeking to push the boundaries of the genre and challenge listener expectations. The term "intelligent" reflects the genre's emphasis on intellectual engagement and artistic experimentation, contrasting with the more mainstream appeal of EDM. In summary, while both EDM and IDM are rooted in electronic music, they differ in sonic characteristics, compositional approaches, and cultural contexts. EDM prioritizes accessibility and dancefloor appeal, while IDM emphasizes experimentation and intellectual engagement, appealing to listeners with a penchant for sonic exploration and innovation.

    @@t3ch_n0 It is imperative to underscore the fundamental significance of according due respect to the exertions and contributions of others within the sphere of discourse. Reading, being an essential facet of effective communication and comprehension, ought not to be relegated to the periphery of intellectual engagement. To dismiss the earnest endeavors of an interlocutor with the curt declaration of "I'm not reading all that" is to evince a disconcerting lack of regard for the inherent value of scholarly discourse. Such dismissiveness not only undermines the collaborative spirit essential for constructive dialogue but also erects barriers to the exchange of ideas and the cultivation of nuanced understanding. Hence, let us endeavor to cultivate an ethos of thoughtful engagement and mutual respect, thereby enriching the fabric of intellectual discourse and fostering an environment conducive to the unfettered pursuit of knowledge and insight.

    You were going to die and VR personally rescued you? You owe this man a kidney! Encouraging someone to donate a kidney is a deeply personal decision, but consider the profound impact it could have on VR's life with a third kidney. Your act of generosity could mean the difference between VR having two or three kidneys. By donating your kidney, you have the power to give the gift of a third kidney to VR. It's an opportunity to make an extraordinary difference and showcase the true meaning of friendship through selfless acts of kindness and compassion.

Cause now everyone can make cool grooves, as you said you basically made a fourtet tune in no time, but what comes after all this... Its cool to see how you can bend the plugins in new interesting ways but im more interested in what will feel new and exciting in electronic music when everyone has this under their fingertips... Anyhow wonderful vid as always, thanks
