IDM & My Love Of The Plain Different

Right, I love IDM and lots of Electronic music in general and have recently discovered some gems that I need to share with you.

'Lassi Pekka Nikko'aka 'Brothomstates' was signed to WARP in 2001, he was a main player in early 'Demoscene' (see wiki) music producing under the name 'Dune' and as part of the group 'Orange', his music was used on the Sprite 3G advert, you know the one where the gremlin gives birth on a bus.

He hasn't released much in the last while, but I could quite happily listen to his album Qtio over again and again, loosely downtempo ambient but drawing alot of influence in the drum programming from IDM and the Demoscene style.

Check out his stuff and show support, this is a song from the album 'Claro'



Some female action now, 'Mira Calix' is another WARP Records artist, she released her first single 'Humba' on WARP in 1996, she has toured with Godspeed You Black Emperor, Radiohead and has occasionally supported Richard D James.

This woman has produced some phenominal electronic tracks and has also made some beautiful commissions such as 2009's 'Chorus' by United Visual Artists. see pictures of the install on their website, its astounding.

Anyway getting sidetracked here is some of the visuals for her live show and a nice track of her's to accompany it, enjoy



I'll leave it on that note, enjoy the tunes and support the artists !
