As a co-owner of an electronic music label at EC UNDERGROUND, a key organizer of the CV FREQS Events & Meets, and a new magazine contributor at PUBLIC PRESSURE, I have a deep passion for the unique and unconventional. I spend my days exploring the world of IDM producers—these are the geniuses whipping up some of the most mind-bending beats in electronic music. It’s not just their tunes that catch the ear; it's also their unique quirks and personality traits that really bring their music to life. IDM, or Intelligent Dance Music, isn’t just a genre to me; it’s a whole playground of sound where producers get to be their weird and wonderful selves through complex rhythms and detailed melodies. My narrative celebrates these artists who dare to be different, exploring how their unique identities shape the evolution of their music and influence the auditory experience.
