What are some IDM songs/albums with insanely complex and manic drum beats?

Just listened to Drukqs a couple days ago and became fascinated with the drill n bass tracks. What are some other songs/albums that match that energy?

1999 IDM radio show

I finally got around to digitizing old tapes from my college radio show, TechHop. I posted an episode from March 1999 on Mixcloud last week with tracks by µ-Ziq, Squarepusher, Autechre, Boards of Canada, Plaid, Bola, Aphex Twin, etc. Full tracklist here. I think the show has aged well, but am curious what others think!

Launching the Deep Ark
Launching the Deep Ark

Hey all,

Remember walking under the sodium glow of streetlights or a baldachin of leaves while sounds reverberate through skin and thought? We do.

Long-term Reddit lurker here and thought I'd break cover to let you know that my friend's book, website and an 8-hour ambient music mix, following the arc of a night out or even accompanying your own, launched yesterday. The download link to the mix in this link also shares an excerpt from the book: https://thedeepark.com/

But it wasn't until I read this review this morning that I thought a wider audience, like some you hip and froody dudes, might be interested: https://internationaltimes.it/into-the-mystic-2/

Some disclosure, I wrote several of the pieces and helped proofread the book and website so I naturally believe it rewards investigation. It's been about 8 years (or 30) in the making.

New album from Thousand Gardens dropped today: A Path Unclear

12 tracks ranging from IDM, downtempo, electro, and ambient. Inspired by Boards of Canada, TOBACCO, and more. Since many people use different streaming services, a link to all currently available ones is below. The album tells the story of Fel, who after a summer evening is separated from her friends and finds her way back to them, in a way.

The full album is available to stream with unlimited repeats on Bandcamp. CDs are also available on BC if you like music merch.

Looking for IDM track submissions for my playlistsspotify

Hey everyone - Recently, I've been having some fun making different IDM/Experimental Electronic/Ambient/Noise/etc Spotify playlists that are themed on certain emotions, styles and aesthetics. They're mostly well known stuff but I'd like to bring in more of the underground community and I'd be happy to take submissions! I'll make a different reply thread for each one in case it helps keep things more tidy. I'm looking forward to hearing your tunes!

Trackers

Any production heads out there use trackers before? How are they? I'm curious by them to get out of a rut with Ableton for awhile. Is there free ones anywhere online to try out?

Anybody know of IDM netlabels that are accepting submissions rn?

Finished an idm album and don’t know where to release it and just wondering if anyone knows of netlables on band camp or something that are accepting submissions :)
