IDM is what they called it way back in the 90's before it split up into a million sugenres(i.e minimal techno, Glitch hop, Dubstep, breakcore.....). Venetian Snares and Otto are both commonly associated with the Breakcore scene. If you don't know about that stuff follow the
link and get educated. There are a lot of DJ's and electronic musicians that started out in Metal or Punk rock. My first rock concert for example was Black Flag(yes I am old). My life is electronic music nowadays, but it is very refreshing to be able to go to an electronic show and get the same adrenaline rush that I got when I was a kid. Venetian Snares has a very wide and diverse catalogue. Some of it is very "
danceable". As is most "
IDM". It's not all left field late period Autechre(which I still consider very danceable). I saw Oval years ago in Chcago performing with a modern dance troup. He does not even use beats and yet we were watching some amazing modern Dance to his music.
Free your mind and your ass will follow.
